...Known as D4h, this lineage is found in mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited only from mothers and is used to trace maternal ancestry.
The team from the Kunming Institute of Zoology embarked on a 10-year hunt for D4h, combing through 100,000 modern and 15,000 ancient DNA samples across Eurasia, eventually landing on 216 contemporary and 39 ancient individuals [iow, cherry picking] who came from the ancient lineage.
By analyzing the mutations that had accrued over time, looking at the samples’ geographic locations and using carbon dating, they were able to reconstruct the D4h’s origins and expansion history.
The results revealed two migration events. The first was between 19,500 and 26,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum, when ice sheet coverage was at its greatest and climate conditions in northern China were probably inhospitable.
The second occurred during the melting period, between 19,000 and 11,500 years ago. Increasing human populations during this period might have triggered migrations.
It was during this second migration that the scientists found a surprising genetic link between Native Americans and Japanese people, particularly the indigenous Ainu.
In the melting period, a subgroup branched out from northern coastal China to Japan, contributing to the Japanese people, the study said, a finding that chimes with archeological similarities between ancient people in the Americas, China and Japan.
Li said a strength of the study was the number of samples they discovered, and complementary evidence from Y chromosomal DNA showing that male ancestors of Native Americans lived in northern China at the same time as female ancestors made researchers confident of their findings.

And they made some incredible railroads, laundry and Chinese take-out businesses.

Correct. We hype the accomplishments of ancient Pacific navigators. I mean look at the ocean expanses they had to traverse. Well 10,000 years ago Pacific ocean reaches weren’t quite that expansive.
It’s long been established that there are strong genetic links between many native americans and ancient siberian populations around Lake Baikal in Russia. Now they’re saying they’ve found more genetic links with ancient people from the area that’s now China. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, it’s highly unlikely that all the ancestors of todays native americans came across in one migration. No doubt there were multiple migrations across many thousands of years.
So now the media will start pushing to hate the Chinese instead of white Americans?
You know what God said later? “Next time I say, ‘Let’s make a family, just shoot me’.”
(Conjecture, not in the Bible. Joke actually to those religious folk who are so serious.)
You’re very precise - Gen 1:1-2:3 and Gen 2:4-3:24. Are you a born-again Christian?
china has said America belongs to them and history proves it. They have given us two weeks to get out.
At the time of the migration, what land area was “China”?
‘You’re very precise - Gen 1:1-2:3 and Gen 2:4-3:24. Are you a born-again Christian?’
no, I’m actually anything but...not that it matters one whit in the grand scheme of things, but I have come to reject the idea of the supernatural imposing on the natural...as well as rejecting the notion that I should worship anything that my rationale cannot accept...
I find the Bible to be a fascinating work taken as a whole, encompassing the best and the worst of human philosophy and writing, from the beauty and passion of the Song of Solomon, and the lyricism of Ecclesiastes, to the drudgery and illogical demands of Leviticus and the dreary genealogies of Numbers; from the lofty elocution of the Letter to the Hebrews to the childish simplicity of the Marcan Gospel...
Where did the red haired giants come from?
The Bible doesn’t address science. At all.
Nonsense.
How about providing me with an example?
The order of Creation in Genesis 1.
The Genesis Creation story is allegory.
Nope. The NT writers referenced it. Jesus referenced it. All of Genesis is real history. You can chose not to believe it but it doesn’t alter the truth.
