Most Chinese history only goes back to around 2850bc (Huaxia) as their origins, long after the move over the Beringia Bridge. There is the distinct possibility that there is a common ancestor that crossed the Beringia land bridge also settled the Guanzhong river, but nothing I can prove...I mean if we are going with the out of africa theories, we all have common ancestors, no?...finding a 'recent' one is challenging. | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 23:04 | comment | added | Semaphore | @Twelfth The evidence for that is pretty thin - as the article pointed out, "Two separate studies of mitochondrial DNA . . .provide no evidence for a second origin point for the American population, instead strongly suggesting that the ancestors of indigenous Americans only entered the New World from Asia." | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 23:01 | comment | added | Semaphore | I think you're underestimating how long 50,000 years is. All Europeans are descended from Charlemagne... and that's only a millennium. Humans reached the Americas from Beringia no more than 20,000 years ago, and swiftly expanded into South America. And Beringia was settled from neighbouring Siberia, no more than 36,000 years ago. Some of the those Eastern Siberians would've originally came from China. And later on, the Altaic peoples also left their imprints in Chinese genes from their invasions. | |

| Jan 18, 2018 at 22:23 | comment | added | Twelfth | Ive seen a few challenges on this theory of recent stating it was possible to cross a frozen Atlantic as an alternative to the berengia model. Im curious if there are any genetic markers that would support that too | |
