හරියටම ජාන sample ගත්තද දන්නේ නෑ. දඹානේ ආදිවාසීන්ගේ sample එහෙම ගන්න ඕන ඕක කරනකොට.
Correct.. The Vedda group is significant.
There was a previous study done using mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA -
Typically, humans inherit mitochondrial DNA from their
mothers only) sampled across several townships, including Dambana and surrounds.
It was found that Vedda population was genetically separated from other Sri Lankan ethnic populations, with genetic distance being less between them. Indian Tamils established the closest genetic relationship with their Sri Lankan ethnic counterparts. Up-country Sinhalese formed close genetic affiliations with Sri Lankan Tamils and Low-country Sinhalese.
