After the Shimao results, coverage has focused on how ancient DNA is cross-read with archaeology, isotopes and radiocarbon to trace local late-Yangshao origins and a kinship-based patrilineal power structure.
Exploring population origins, migrations, interactions and change in East Asia and connected regions through ancient and modern genetic evidence, archaeology and history.
