Ancient genomes give insight into 160,000 years of East Asian population dynamics and biological adaptation

This study uses ancient and modern population genomics to reconstruct 160,000 years of East Asian demographic dynamics. It reveals archaic introgression, multi-wave population migration and trans-Eurasian genetic admixture. It also uncovers biological adaptation signatures of plateau populations and agricultural groups, clarifying the formation process of East Asian genetic structure and the linkage between human dispersal, cultural exchange and genetic evolution.

Re-understanding the Issue of Confucius’ Descendants from the Perspective of Genetic Genealogy

his paper re-examines the issue of Confucius’ descendants from the perspective of genetic genealogy. It clarifies the research boundaries of genetic genealogy, arguing that its core value lies in restoring the formation mechanism of clans rather than judging the authenticity of bloodlines, and establishes an interdisciplinary research paradigm that balances scientific rationality and Confucian tradition.

Fudan-Led Study Reveals the Qiang’s Ancient Yellow River Ancestry and Two Divergent Admixture Histories

Based on whole-genome data from 20 Qiang individuals in Maoxian, Sichuan, the Fudan team reveals the Qiang people’s origin among Yellow River Neolithic Miaozigou populations, their divergence at the plateau margin, and their formation through admixture, offering key genetic evidence for the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation.
