By analyzing 10 newly sequenced individuals going back up to 7,500 years, researchers retraced relationships between ancient populations in North Asia, Europe, and North America.
Analysis of ten Eurasian individuals, up to 7,500 years old, gives a new picture of movement across continents
Chinese Academy of Sciences A study led by research groups of Prof. FU Qiaomei from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. ZHANG Hucai from Yunnan University covers the largest temporal transect of population dynamics in East Asia so far and offers a clearer picture of the deep population history of northern East Asia. The study was published in Cell on May 27. Northern East Asia falls within a similar latitude range as central and southern Europe, where human population movements and size were influenced by Ice Age c...
