“…The dominant haplogroups of Han Chinese, O3a3c*-M134 and O3a3c1-M117 12,19,20 only make up a proportion of 5% in the Gelong. However, this proportion probably resulted from the recent gene flow from the neighboring Han migrants, similar to the O3a3c proportion in Hlai 4 and many other minorities in China. 21 Although the Gelong people have a nomenclature for paternal lineages in Chinese, they do not seem to have a pronounced Han Chinese paternal origin.…”

“…Similar to the Gelong, the Gelao have haplogroup O2*, but do not have haplogroups K* or O*. The comparable haplogroup frequencies of Gelong and other reference population samples 4,[11][12][13][14][15] are in Table 3. Clearly, the haplogroup pattern of the Gelong is most similar to that of the Gelao, and also fairly similar to the Taiwan aborigines.…”

Objectives: The aim of this research was to explore the origin, diversification, and demographic history of O1a-M119 over the past 10,000 years, as well as its role during the formation of East Asian and Southeast Asian populations, particularly the Han, Tai-Kadai-speaking, and Austronesian-speaking populations. Materials and Methods: Y-chromosome sequences (n = 141) of the O1a-M119 lineage, including 17 newly generated in this study, were used to reconstruct a revised phylogenetic tree with age estimates, and identify sub-lineages. The geographic distribution of 12 O1a-M119 sub-lineages was summarized, based on 7325 O1a-M119 individuals identified among 60,009 Chinese males. Results: A revised phylogenetic tree, age estimation, and distribution maps indicated continuous expansion of haplogroup O1a-M119 over the past 10,000 years, and differences in demographic history across geographic regions. We propose several sublineages of O1a-M119 as founding paternal lineages of Han, Tai-Kadai-speaking, and Austronesian-speaking populations. The sharing of several young O1a-M119 sublineages with expansion times less than 6000 years between these three population groups supports a partial common ancestry for them in the Neolithic Age; however, the paternal genetic divergence pattern is much more complex than previous hypotheses based on ethnology, archeology, and linguistics.

Objectives We aim to detect demographic history and early farming‐related migration of the crossroad area in the junction of east Asia (EA) and southeast Asia (SEA). Materials and methods We collected and genotyped 87 individuals from 6 Tibeto‐Burman and Austroasiatic‐speaking populations including Bai, Pumi, Hani, Lahu, Wa, and Blang with nearly 700,000 genome‐wide SNPs. We subsequently analyzed genetic structure and admixture using our merged dataset including both ancient and modern eastern Eurasians with PCA, ADMIXTURE, Refine‐IBD, f statistics and qpAdm. Results We observed population substructure within the studied Tibeto‐Burman populations. The northern Tibeto‐Burman groups (Bai and Pumi) had a predominant genomic legacy associated to millet‐farming from North China and also high frequencies of Y‐chromosomal haplogroup O2a2b1‐M134 (xM117) and its sub‐clades. By contrast, southern Tibeto‐Burman groups (Lahu and Hani) had more than 60% genomic legacy associated to rice‐farming, which is prevalent in present‐day Tai‐Kadai, Austronesian and Austroasiatic speaking populations. We observed strong genetic affinities between Austroasiatic populations in Yunnan (Blang and Wa) and mainland southeast Asia. Discussion Our study revealed that both demic migrations and cultural interactions from north to south and east to west since the Late Neolithic have shaped the genetic structure of populations at the crossroads of EA and SEA. The dominant genomic legacy associated with millet‐farming in northern Tibeto‐Burman populations indicates large‐scale Neolithic migrations from the Upper‐Middle Yellow River Basin. The rice‐farming expansion has deeply influenced the genetic profile of both southern Tibeto‐Burman and Austroasiatic populations, suggesting migrations from east to west via both inland and coastal routes.
