Deep time population, not current. Basically every ethnic group in Eurasia and most of Africa. Joys of having had an empire and being the second most important city of finance.
Hm. I’d guess subcontinentals – this is partly where my ignorance of ethnic identities as seen from Britain fails me, I know British “Asians” were often called “Pakis” but I don’t know how much Muslims/Hindus/Buddhists/Jains/Sikhs are differentiated, not to mention all the different nooks and crannies of Jāti.
Which is the thing, you’d expect such a densely populous culture to have more outbreeding, but it’s really a ton of little endogamous grouplets that could have local social structures that are pretty narrow but with very powerful ingroup gravity, I can see that giving rise to incest. That and the lack of Christianized outbreeding pressure, and how to this day Indian guys on the internet can be so unmaskedly yay-rape, including of relatives.
So who was it?
