Eleven individuals from two Late Bronze-Age co-burials at Dongshantou, Jilin, all share Y-haplogroup C2b while mtDNA varies—evidence of a single patriline and female exogamy.
A Jilin University team reconstructs mitochondrial genomes of the Gansu-Qinghai Qijia culture (c. 2300–1500 BCE), tracing maternal diversity and links to later populations on the Tibetan Plateau.
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.
