Nicobari pig is reared by Nicobarese, a native tribal population of Andaman and Nicobar
Islands. Nicobari pig has maintained its genetic identity due to geographical isolation. This
communication is the first report on maternal inheritance of Nicobari pigs. DNA polymorphism
data showed seven haplotypes. D-loop sequence information and mitogenome analysis
were able to earmark Nicobari pigs to Asian clade. The domestication process of pigs and
its expansion pattern help to understand human migration pattern. Based on this hypothesis,
this communication elucidates the probable origin of Nicobarese. Earlier studies indicated
that Nicobarese had genetic affinities to races distributed in China, Malaysia and
Thailand. Our data on maternal inheritance of Nicobari pig correlates with the data on
migration of Nicobarese. Moreover, we could establish a novel connection of Nicobarese
with people of Northeastern parts of India, Philippines and Vietnam through phylogenetic
signal and geographical provenance of Nicobari pig. We further concluded that migration of
Nicobarese happened during Western route of migration (WRM) 4000 years before present.
Therefore, we propose one wave hypothesis of peopling of Nicobar based on our study and
existence of Ausrtroasiatic language, Mon-Khmer in these islands.
