It appears that they could not collect samples from N. Korea. People from Japan, S. Korea, and N.E. China shows pretty much the same genetic makeup. It is interesting that Tibetans also share it, too.

The genetic makeup of those living in Xinjiang is quite similiar to those in N. India.

This means US colleges will have even more means at their disposal to keep their numbers low for diversity...

Thanks Tigerlikesrooster. What does this graphic indicate, vis a vis the blood types found? The types in most of the world are of the ABO family (with some oddities, such as Bombay syndrome I think it's called), with a small number of people (Indian subcontinent mostly) of the MN family (and the Rh factor is common to both families I believe).

Is Tibet really that surprising? When was the genetic survey done? In Tibet, what is the remaining % of "native" Tibetans to the % of "Tibetan" people the Han has forceably settled into Tibet from other Chinese provinces in the last five decades?

Do you happen to have the original story, or is it just the map? My sis-in-law is Chinese and a biologist, so I'd like to get a translation/synopsis from her.

Brings to mind the whole SARS epidemic. Most of those affected had lots of the "red" coded type. I saw a theory that even though SARS appeared to be "natural" one cannot rule out that it might have been planted into nature by northerners wanting to attack Fujianese (and therefore, Taiwan).

Japanese tend to view Koreans as inferior , however, they certainly don’t appear to have much genetic difference.

However, even 50 years of history, the Koreans who make up Japan's largest minority group have not become socially well-accepted. ...There are many reasons for discrimination. Koreans are considered inferior. Ethnic relationships between the Japanese and Koreans in Japan are still very poor.

Thanks. I find ethnography fascinating...I almost became an anthropologist or lingquist.
