Veddoid seems to be australo-melanesian rather than AASI which is essentially a ghost pop. There were some theories floating around about ANE and AASI , need to look into it more

when we said veddoid, we meant the ancient population specific to the indian subcontinent which is essentially aasi. the population we used to define aasi back then was the irula tribe.

but even so, there's still a strong correlation between AASI and australo-melanesian (common east eurasian source). especially seen maternally, as the major mtdna haplogroups in south asia are M, R, and to a lesser extent U. U is the only ANE one out of the three where an ancient north eurasian Mal'ta boy was found with it. otherwise, M and R are very consistent with negrito/australoid populations (shared a common ancestor with east asians hence why it's also found in their populations). haplogroup M is the only maternal haplogroup found among the Irula tribe (Dravidian) and Andamanese and at high concentrations in Papa New Guinea. MTDNA R is found in similar populations in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

with the major paternal lineages of india and south asia being R1a, R2, H, L, and J2 which are all consistent with Western Eurasian populations. so pretty clear that you all got fucked over maternally
