The researchers used advanced ancient DNA capture techniques to retrieve ancient DNA from 25 individuals dating back 9,500-4,200 years and one individual dating back 300 years from northern and southern East Asia...
Prof. FU and her team found that these Neolithic humans share the closest genetic relationship to present-day East Asians who belong to this "second layer." This suggests that by 9,500 years ago, the primary ancestries composing the genetic makeup of East Asians today could already be found in mainland East Asia.
While more divergent ancestries can be found in Southeast Asia and the Japanese archipelago, in the Chinese mainland, Neolithic populations already displayed genetic features belonging to present-day East Asians.
Notably, this includes the Early Neolithic southern East Asians dating to ~8,000 years from this study that should have been "first layer" early Asians, according to the earlier hypothesis. In fact, Prof. FU and her team showed that they shared a closer relationship to present-day "second layer" East Asians. Thus, the results of the current study fail to support a "two layer" dispersal model in Neolithic East Asia in this area.
The scientists also found that Early Neolithic East Asians were more genetically differentiated from each other than present-day East Asians are. In early Neolithic East Asia since 9,500 BP, a northern ancestry existed along the Yellow River and up into the eastern steppes of Siberia, distinct from a southern ancestry that existed along the coast of the southern Chinese mainland and islands in the Taiwan Strait since 8,400 BP.

Professor FU ….???
My head hurts after reading this article. Seems badly written and poorly explained.
You don’t want to know her secret handshake.
Were there people then?
and one individual dating back 300 years
Were there people then?
We have evidence there were people around three hundred years ago. So let’s hope there were people three hundred years ago because if not, how did Jesus live and die on the cross two thousand years ago?
Was it anything like the racer gave another this past weekend after he was spun out of the race by another driver?
Wait that was a one-fingered salute but it comes close in today’s social distancing era to be a handshake, if I ever saw one today.
Charlemagne helped some.
Or the scent of he nail polish...
“The scientists also found that Early Neolithic East Asians were more genetically differentiated from each other than present-day East Asians are. “
Societies, conflicts, winners and losers, winners dominate - the culling was not a single event, but spread out all the way into the times current societies have ancient written and oral records of. The Han are continuing the culling today.
FU and the virus you rode in on!
I think it's part of the ongoing Chinese peace offensive.
Luck of the draw is most of it.
Bad drivers? Good at math?
My comment was directly in reference to:
“The scientists also found that Early Neolithic East Asians were more genetically differentiated from each other than present-day East Asians are. “
Thus more genetic diversity in East Asia in the past than today. To no where else in the world was my comment directed.

If you’re vaguely of European extraction, you are also the fruits of Charlemagne’s prodigious loins. A fecund ruler, he sired at least 18 children by motley wives and concubines, including Charles the Younger, Pippin the Hunchback, Drogo of Metz, Hruodrud, Ruodhaid, and not forgetting Hugh.
