Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Indus Valley people had trade relations with Mesopotamia.

Detailed explanation-3: -The analysis by Reich and colleagues also shows that the Iranian-related lineage present in the Indus Valley people split from the natives of Zagros Mountains in Iran before 8000 BCE. This is before crop farming began there around 7000–6000 BCE.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trade between Indus Valley and Mesopotamia appears rather skewed in IVC’s favour. IVC exported Gold jewelery, Ivory seals & boxes, Timber, Cotton textiles, Copper & bronze fish-hooks, Carnelian & precious stone beads, Live chicken, Shell & bone inlays, and even Water buffaloes.
