“…The highest frequency of N-TAT is found in Altaic, Uralic, and Indo-European speaking populations ( Ilumäe et al, 2016 ), such as Vilyuy Yakuts (91.525%), Evenks (50.877%), Buryats (41.441%), Udmurts (66.667%), Finns (53.846%), and Latvians (43.023%), while the N-F710 is considered as having migrated from Northeast Asia southward into the Yellow River region at no later than 2.7 kya ( Ma et al, 2021 ). Haplogroup Q-M120 originated in South Siberia and expanded across northwestern China between 5–3 kya ( Sun et al, 2019 ). The lineage was absorbed into ancient Huaxia (Han Chinese) populations before 2 kya and would eventually become one of the six founder lineages in modern Han populations ( Wen et al, 2016 ; Sun et al, 2019 ).…”

“…After amplification enrichment, a large number of samples could be detected and analyzed in parallel using the NGS platform. In view of the characteristics of highly degraded DNA involved in this study, we designed a more sensitive short amplifier primer system (Wen et al, 2019) and conducted tests on samples from the Heishuiguo site. The system comprises 485 Y-SNPs (Figure 2; Supplementary Tables S2, S3), covering common lineages in East Asia.…”

The Hexi Corridor was an important arena for culture exchange and human migration between ancient China and Central and Western Asia. During the Han Dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE), subsistence strategy along the corridor shifted from pastoralism to a mixed pastoralist-agriculturalist economy. Yet the drivers of this transition remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyze the Y-chromosome and mtDNA of 31 Han Dynasty individuals from the Heishuiguo site, located in the center of the Hexi Corridor. A high-resolution analysis of 485 Y-SNPs and mitogenomes was performed, with the Heishuiguo population classified into Early Han and Late Han groups. It is revealed that (1) when dissecting genetic lineages, the Yellow River Basin origin haplogroups (i.e., Oα-M117, Oβ-F46, Oγ-IMS-JST002611, and O2-P164+, M134-) reached relatively high frequencies for the paternal gene pools, while haplogroups of north East Asian origin (e.g., D4 and D5) dominated on the maternal side; (2) in interpopulation comparison using PCA and Fst heatmap, the Heishuiguo population shifted from Southern-Northern Han cline to Northern-Northwestern Han/Hui cline with time, indicating genetic admixture between Yellow River immigrants and natives. By comparison, in maternal mtDNA views, the Heishuiguo population was closely clustered with certain Mongolic-speaking and Northwestern Han populations and exhibited genetic continuity through the Han Dynasty, which suggests that Heishuiguo females originated from local or neighboring regions. Therefore, a sex-biased admixture pattern is observed in the Heishuiguo population. Additionally, genetic contour maps also reveal the same male-dominated migration from the East to Hexi Corridor during the Han Dynasty. This is also consistent with historical records, especially excavated bamboo slips. Combining historical records, archeological findings, stable isotope analysis, and paleoenvironmental studies, our uniparental genetic investigation on the Heishuiguo population reveals how male-dominated migration accompanied with lifestyle adjustments brought by these eastern groups may be the main factor affecting the subsistence strategy transition along the Han Dynasty Hexi Corridor.

“…Paleogenomic studies indicated that northern East Asian-related ancestry has expanded southward since the Neolithic period (Ning et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020), and western Eurasian-related ancestry has expanded eastward since the early Bronze Age (Wang W. et al, 2021;Zhang F. et al, 2021). Previous studies found that western and northern East Asian pastoralists played an important role in the formation of early China, Chinese culture, and Huaxia people (Sun et al, 2019;Ma et al, 2021). Frequent population exchange and dynamic population history promote population admixture, but based on advanced agriculture, technology, and culture, the Han people or their ancestors often had a greater demographic advantage over ancient ethnic groups in East Asia, so they often assimilated with the population and culture of other ethnic groups.…”

In this study, we used typical and advanced population genetic analysis methods [principal component analysis (PCA), ADMIXTURE, FST, f3-statistics, f4-statistics, qpAdm/qpWave, qpGraph, ALDER (Admixture-induced Linkage Disequilibrium for Evolutionary Relationships) and TreeMix] to explore the genetic structure of 80 Han individuals from four different cities in Liaoning Province and reconstruct their demographic history based on the newly generated genome-wide data. We found that Liaoning Han people have genetic similarities with other northern Han people (Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi) and Liaoning Manchu people. Millet farmers in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) and the West Liao River Basin (WLRB) (57–98%) and hunter-gatherers in the Mongolian Plateau (MP) and the Amur River Basin (ARB) (40–43%) are the main ancestral sources of the Liaoning Han people. Our study further supports the “northern origin hypothesis”; YRB-related ancestry accounts for 83–98% of the genetic makeup of the Liaoning Han population. There are clear genetic influences of northern East Asian populations in the Liaoning Han people, ancient Northeast Asian-related ancestry is another dominant ancestral component, and large-scale population admixture has happened between Tungusic Manchu people and Han people. There are genetic differences among the Liaoning Han people, and we found that these differences are associated with different migration routes of Hans during the “Chuang Guandong” period in historical records.

“…There is also a remarkable diversity of human languages spoken in East Asia, including Sino-Tibetan, Hmong-Mien, Austroasiatic, Tai-Kadai, Austronesian, Indo-European, Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Japonic, Koreanic, Yukaghiric, and Chukotko-Kamchatkan ( Wang et al, 2021a ; Uesugi et al, 2021 ). The formation of East Asians is suggested to has involved genetic contributions from various ancestral human populations ( Duan et al, 2018 ; Sun et al, 2019 ; Wang et al, 2021a ).…”

Northwest China is a contacting region for East and West Eurasia and an important center for investigating the migration and admixture history of human populations. However, the comprehensive genetic structure and admixture history of the Altaic speaking populations and Hui group in Northwest China were still not fully characterized due to insufficient sampling and the lack of genome-wide data. Thus, We genotyped genome-wide SNPs for 140 individuals from five Chinese Mongolic, Turkic speaking groups including Dongxiang, Bonan, Yugur, and Salar, as well as the Hui group. Analysis based on allele-sharing and haplotype-sharing were used to elucidate the population history of Northwest Chinese populations, including PCA, ADMIXTURE, pairwise Fst genetic distance, f-statistics, qpWave/qpAdm and ALDER, fineSTRUCTURE and GLOBETROTTER. We observed Dongxiang, Bonan, Yugur, Salar, and Hui people were admixed populations deriving ancestry from both East and West Eurasians, with the proportions of West Eurasian related contributions ranging from 9 to 15%. The genetic admixture was probably driven by male-biased migration- showing a higher frequency of West Eurasian related Y chromosomal lineages than that of mtDNA detected in Northwest China. ALDER-based admixture and haplotype-based GLOBETROTTER showed this observed West Eurasian admixture signal was introduced into East Eurasia approximately 700 ∼1,000 years ago. Generally, our findings provided supporting evidence that the flourish transcontinental communication between East and West Eurasia played a vital role in the genetic formation of northwest Chinese populations.
