The early settlement of anatomically modern humans in MSEA dates back to at least 65 thousand years ago (kya) and is associated with the formation of a hunter-gatherer tradition called Hoabinhian. Since the Neolithic period, which dates to about ~4,000-5,000 years ago, cultural transitions and diversification have happened multiple times..
...Vietnam has a population size of more than 96 million people comprising 54 official ethnic groups; 110 languages are spoken in the country. To date, there are hundreds of ethnolinguistic groups in MSEA, speaking languages belonging to five major language families: Austro-Asiatic (AA), Austronesian (AN), Hmong-Mien (HM), Tai-Kadai (TK), and Sino-Tibetan (ST).
Yet, the genetic diversity of Vietnam has remained relatively unexplored, especially with genome-wide data, because previous studies have focused mainly on the majority Kinh group...
"We find that the Vietnamese ethnolinguistic groups harbor multiple sources of genetic diversity that are associated with heterogeneous ancestry sharing profiles in each language family," said corresponding author Nong Van Hai. First author Dang Liu added, "However, the linguistic diversity does not completely match genetic diversity; there have been extensive interactions between the Hmong-Mien and Tai-Kadai groups, and a likely case of cultural diffusion in which some Austro-Asiatic groups shifted to speaking Austronesian languages.
On a global scale, the strongest signal separates most Indian groups from the East Asian groups. They also found evidence that the majority group Kinh, which have been the focus of previous studies, may not reflect the total Vietnamese diversity. Within modern Vietnamese groups, individuals from the same language family are mostly placed together. Within these language families, the ST, HM, and TK groups are mostly separated from AA and AN groups. Vietnam ethnolinguistic groups overall tend to show the closest relationships with Taiwanese and southern Chinese groups.

Genetic diversity in Viet Nam??
I may know a good reason for this really showing up in the mid-1960’s.....
For your interest.
Your posting history of ancient history, if all pages from all links were printed, would likely fill a few volumes.
Have you ever thought of grouping the inks into some sort of geographical/regional and-or regional-historical groupings, with all the links fitting a particular group shown in lists together.
I would be willing to help do it.

The women sure are cute.
So they will find that the Kinh are mostly kin, the others less so?
To quote an old FReeper maxim....”Links are your friend”.

I watch a lot of YT videos taken from Vietnam, seriously, it’s like the war never happened, even though technically the country is still “Communist”.
Of course, they pretty much abandoned Communism as an economic system back in 1986. It’s still one-party rule, but pretty much as long as you don’t cross the line, they leave you alone.
Frankly, it’s not much better in this country these days.
I wonder if Greg has written a song about this?
Within recorded history, Vietnam has been invaded and occupied many times.
The earliest I’m aware of is the Mongols doing the invasion thing but the occupation didn’t work out. Still, good bet a significant portion of genetic material was passed on to the surviving women in that AO.
Great idea! I just don't want to do it. :^)
Free Republic is freely available in Vietnam. Also Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter.
YMMV.

I'm exhausted from scrolling.

Now they still cheer defeating the French, but they really don’t talk much about the war after that. They are very friendly to Americans, I think many understand that the Americans were mainly there to stop Soviet expansion.
