Analysing 21 ancient nuclear genomes and 23 mitogenomes of pigs from 14 Chinese sites spanning 8,000 years, the team confirms northern China—rather than the southwest—as the domestication origin of East Asian pigs, which dispersed southward with Yellow River millet farmers and admixed with local wild boar.

Analyzing mtDNA and Y-chromosome markers in 445 individuals from seven East Asian populations, this study reveals the complex origins of the Korean people: southern ancestry contributes about 35% to the maternal gene pool but as much as 83% to the paternal one, indicating markedly sex-biased gene flow.

This article explores the link between the Y chromosome and surname genealogies. Strictly paternally inherited, the Y chromosome provides an unalterable genetic record for reconstructing family trees, resolving historical mysteries and tracing clan origins—opening a new chapter in historical anthropology.

The China Association for Science and Technology announced a significant scientific question for 2024: "Are ancient humans found in China the ancestors of modern Chinese people?" This question, focused on the origins and evolution of humans in East Asia, was recommended by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology.
