DNA shows ancestry of present-day Asians, Native Americans
WASHINGTON - Present-day Asians and Native Americans are descended from a group of people who were already in China 40,000 years ago, according to an analysis of fossil DNA published this week.
The genetic analysis showed that the early modern humans in Beijing had already diverged genetically from the ancestors of modern-day Europeans.
The researchers took nuclear and mitochondrial DNA from a leg bone found in the Tianyuan Cave in China in 2003.
Using this, they reconstructed the genetic profile of the leg's owner, a person who lived at a very interesting time in the history of modern humans, the researchers said in a statement Monday.
"This individual lived during an important evolutionary transition when early modern humans, who shared certain features with earlier forms such as Neanderthals, were replacing Neanderthals and Denisovans, who later became extinct," said lead author Svante Paabo, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
The genetic analysis from the ancient bone showed similarities to genetic profiles from modern-day Asians and Native Americans, the researchers explained.
But the analysis showed that the early modern human near Beijing had already diverged, genetically, from the ancestors of modern Europeans.
In addition, the proportion of Neanderthal and Denisovan-DNA was no higher than that of modern-day humans in the region.
Scientists had previously found fossils of people from Eurasia 40,000 to 50,000 years ago who looked like modern-day humans.
But the researchers emphasised that the genetic relationships between these early modern humans and today's people had not yet been fleshed out.
"More analyses of additional early modern humans across Eurasia will further refine our understanding of when and how modern humans spread across Europe and Asia," Svante Paabo said.
OP's own view: This is related to China's national security as it underlines the biological weakness that the Chinese military personnel, strategists and policy makers have in their genes. We all know that the Native Americans could not withstand the European invasions and were conquered by the Europeans in their own homeland. There are many factors behind the defeat of the native Americans but all those factors came out from a single factor which was that the native Americans were biologically inferior to their European counterpart.
If you have genetic structure which is weaker than that of your opponent then you can expect yourself being defeated by your opponent as you will not be able to form superior analysis, threat perception and counter strategy as well as physical endurance to take offensive position and defend yourself. Your genetic weakness will not let you carry out superior innovations which are needed to annihilate your enemy.
As Indians share similar genes with the Europeans, it is highly possible that Indians will have an upper hand in any full fledged war between India and China as the Chinese will not be able to either diplomatically or militarily fight the Indians which will result in the predetermined victory of Indians as Indian superiority and therefore victory is biologically determined.
