#TibetanAncestry

A groundbreaking study of ancient genomes from Yunnan, China, is rewriting the history books on the origins and diversity of East Asian populations—with implications reaching as far as Thailand and Southeast Asia. Published in the prestigious journal Science, the research analyzed DNA from 127 ancient humans spanning a remarkable 7,100 to 1,400 years ago. The comprehensive genetic findings challenge previous assumptions about migration, ancestry, and the emergence of linguistic groups still thriving across the region today (Science).
