6 Crore Indians Carry This Heart Failure Gene. Why Didn’t Evolution Delete It?

In today's episode of Gaurav Thakur, we welcome Dr. Niraj Rai, Scientist-E and Group Head of the Ancient DNA Lab at BSIP Lucknow. We explore how DNA helped solve centuries-old murder mysteries, what our genes can reveal about our ancestry, hidden diseases, and future health risks. The conversation dives into India's genetic history, caste-based marriages, inherited mutations, and the relationship between genetics and intelligence. We also discuss vegetarian versus non-vegetarian diets, mysterious 15-lakh-year-old stone tools, and how late parenthood may affect future generations. Dr. Rai explains the fundamental purpose of DNA, how stress and lifestyle influence gene expression, and why gut bacteria differ between rural and urban populations. Finally, we explore emerging genetic technologies and whether science could one day slow or reverse human ageing.
