Thirty-five ancient genomes from the southeastern Mongolian Plateau show local early-Holocene ancestry enduring for millennia, then inflow from Hongshan-related groups around 5,700 years ago—distinguishing cultural diffusion from real migration.

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.

Of about 80 skulls from Shimao's East Gate, ancient DNA shows nine in ten were male—upending prior expectations. Here is how scientists read a 4,300-year-old patrilineal society from bone genomes.

Sequencing 169 ancient samples from Shimao, Qiaomei Fu's team traces the population mainly to local late Yangshao ancestry, reconstructs a four-generation patrilineage, and finds mostly male sacrificial victims at the East Gate.

Calibrating a mitochondrial clock with Pacific archaeological dates, a team concludes people entered the ancient Sahul landmass around 60,000 years ago via two routes—a northern path through the Philippines and a southern one from mainland Southeast Asia.

A team led by Qiaomei Fu analyzed 35 ancient genomes from the southeastern Mongolian Plateau spanning 8,800–5,000 years ago, tracing local early-Holocene ancestry and later inflow from Hongshan-related groups around 5,700 years ago.

Comparing ancient hanging-coffin individuals from China and Thailand with the modern Bo people of Yunnan, a Kunming team found up to 79% genetic continuity, tracing the tradition's spread from southeast China around 3,600 years ago.

Dogs were the first domesticated animal and often moved alongside people, so ancient dog genomes serve as a proxy for human migration. Here is why sequencing them helps map how people moved.
