Question

In which state of India, people of origins (genes) of the tribes Alpines, Dinarik and Armenoid found?
A. Punjab
B. Jammu-Kashmir
C. Gujarat
D. Assam

Answer 1

Hint: The Alpinoid are characterised by broad head, medium stature, light skin etc. The Dinaric type is characterized by quite light skin; dark brown to dark blonde hair; wide range of eye color; tall stature; long face etc. Armenoids were medium to tall; dark brown or black hair; tawny white to light-brown skin color; large round and usually dark brown eyes; a round, broad head shape.

Complete explanation:
Option A (Punjab): Punjab is filled with nordic races and tribes consisting of Alpines, Dinarik and Armenoid.
So, option A is correct.
 Option B (Jammu-Kashmir): The Kashmiris form a part of Indo-European ethno-linguistic group from Jammu and Kashmir State in northern India. The precise origins of the Kashmiri population are suggested to be from the descendants of one of the lost tribes of Israel though it’s still not clearly known.
So, option B is not correct.
Option C (Gujarat): Most mitochondrial genetic markers (mtDNA and sub- haplogroup U7) of the population of Gujarat originate from West Eurasia.
So, option C is not correct.
Option D (Assam): Broad inter racial mixture of different races like the Mongoloids, Indo-Aryan, Indo-Burmese, and Iranian etc origins. Different tribes coexist here. Australoids and Caucasoids genetic material are also found here.
So, option D is not correct.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

Note:
The Punjab has Aryan-speaking nomadic tribes descended from the mountain passes in the northwest around \[1700\] bc. Subsequently, Persians, Greeks, Huns, Turks and Afghans etc also entered the Indian subcontinent and settled in Punjab. They are either of Indo-Aryan or of Indo-European tribes.The Alpinoids, Dinariks and Armenoids ; all have brachycephalic skulls.
