They show a close genetic relationship to modern Austroasiatic populations in northeastern India, southern China and Southeast Asia. Combining archaeological, genetic and linguistic evidence, the ...

A recent genetic study published in Science presents new evidence of a previously unknown ancient human lineage in Yunnan province, southwestern China. The analysis is based on ancient DNA extracted ...

Combining archaeological, genetic and linguistic evidence, the researchers hypothesized that Austroasiatic speakers migrated from central Yunnan alongside the Red River Valley to Southeast Asia ...

However, the presence of these Austroasiatic-related populations in central Yunnan predates agricultural practices. This study may provide insights into the origins of Austroasiatic populations. It ...

Archaeologists have discovered that the ancestors of the Tibetan people, including a mysterious group known as the “ghost” population, came from China ’s Yunnan province more than 7,100 ...

Previous research has pointed to China ’s Yunnan region as the key to understanding the origins of Tibetan as well as Austroasiatic populations, referring to ethnic communities in Southeast Asia ...

This study also reveals a distinct Central Yunnan ancestry connected to early Austroasiatic-speaking groups. This discovery makes Yunnan as a key region to understand the ancient genetic history of ...

This study offers insights into the origins of Austroasiatic populations. It presents the oldest evidence of ancestry associated with Austroasiatic speakers, with a continuous record from 5,100 to ...

Combining archaeological, genetic and linguistic evidence, the researchers hypothesized that Austroasiatic speakers migrated from the Red River Valley to Southeast Asia, with central Yunnan as a ...

Newly sequenced ancient genomes from Yunnan, China, have shed new light on human prehistory in East Asia. In a study published in Science, a research team led by Prof. Fu Qiaomei at the Institute ...
