Another research discovered that the gene of Northern Chinese is more close to the Caucasian, rather than the Southern Chinese.

This is the one that gets me. All culture is supposed to have either come from the North to the South yet The obviously asian physical types are not that closely related?? More digging, particularly of neolithic sites, is necessary. During the historic periods where depictions of people show mostly Asians, are consistent in both the North and the South (except in the far west where Monks and royalty of both physical types are shown).

I don't believe that statement.

Stephen Oppenheimer, in his book, Out Of Eden, clearly shows with DNA evidence that the Northern Asians are directly descended from the Southern groups.
The North Asians developed Sindont (from Sundont) teeth, exagerated flat face, the peculiar eye fold and lighter skin color. He believes they were living around the Lake Baikal(sp) area when all these changes occured. Incidentlly, he also said that the oldest (undisputed) Mongoloid body type (skeleton) ever found is only 10k years old...and that suprised me.
