Peking University's 21 ancient pig nuclear genomes from 14 sites confirm northern China as the East Asian pig domestication center, with black coats and southward spread tied to millet farmers.

Analyzing 30 ancient genomes from central Mongolia, a Harvard-led team shows two genetically distinct Bronze Age herder groups coexisted for centuries with limited admixture, until the Early Iron Age Slab Grave expansion replaced them; the latter's minor western Eurasian ancestry traces to Afanasievo and Khemtseg populations.

CT reconstruction of the roughly one-million-year-old Yunxian cranium places it in the early Homo longi, Denisovan-related branch and may push the origin of our own lineage back beyond a million years.

Genome-wide data from 23 Longshan-to-Zhou individuals on the Loess Plateau show Central Plains ancestry with steppe and southern admixture, pushing known north-south interaction 800 km northward.

A Fudan-led team sequenced 74 ancient individuals from 20 Middle Neolithic sites, spanning both Yellow River millet and Yangtze rice farming cultures. The dataset is the largest yet for East Asian middle Neolithic populations.

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.
