Project Background: | The Nair community of Southwestern India is supposedly very homogeneous, but we will find out for sure. There are several theories about the origins of this community but none have been confirmed. Some believe that they migrated from the North, while others are of the opinion that they are drawn from local tribes. This project hopes to understand their deep ancestral origins based on genealogical lines. Please consider joining this group if your family is known to have Nair origins. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Our sample currently has no cohesion and all our members diverge. This is indicative of how diverse the Nair Paternal lines are. But right now, our sample size isn't statistically large enough to draw inferences.
Such divergence could be the result of the fact that Nairs were Matrilineal, and didn't care much about their Paternal lineage. It could also indicate the fact that most immigrants into the region in ancient times, joined the Military to improve social standing and were eventually absorbed by the Nair community during the British era. Right now, it is an open issue.
