Chinese scientists retrieve lineage-specific genetic information from 400,000-year-old Homo erectus for the first time

Published online in Nature on May 13, 2026, a study by Professor Qiaomei Fu’s team retrieved lineage-specific enamel protein information from ~400,000-year-old Homo erectus teeth from Zhoukoudian, Hexian and Sunjiadong, confirming that East Asian erectus formed a single evolutionary population whose genes may have reached modern humans via the Denisovans.

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.

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.
