东亚是在很多人的石块被发掘了的世界上的很少区域之一。在东亚的灵长目动物的石块的连续性,在特别地,中国表现为在这个区域支持现代的人的独立起源的充分证据。到为在中国的现代的人的可能的独立起源的如此的证据的搜索, 9988 个男个人的一个总数越过中国被取样。三个 Y 染色体 biallelic 标记(M89, M130 和笨蛋) 在 Y 染色体的 non-recombinant 区域被定位,在样品之中被打。我们的结果证明所有个人在三 loci 之一带一个变化。三个变化(M89T, M130T, YAP+) 联合到另一个变化(M168T ) ,它大约 31000 ~ 79000 年以前原来从非洲被导出。换句话说,没有例外,从中国的所有 Y 染色体样品原来从非洲的起源的一个系被导出。因此,我们结束那一甚至很次要的贡献 ofin situ 在中国的灵长目动物的起源不能被 Y 染色体证据支持。
East Asia is one of the few regions in the world where a large number of human fossils have been unearthed. The continuity of hominid fossils in East Asia, particularly in China has been presented as strong evidence supporting an independent origin of modern humans in this area. To search for such evidence of a possible independent origin of modern humans in China, a total of 9988 male individuals were sampled across China. Three Y-chromosome biallelic markers (M89, M130 and YAP), which were located at the non-recombinant region of Y-chromosome, were typed among the samples. Our result showed that all the individuals carry a mutation at one of the three loci. The three mutations (M89T, M130T, YAP+) coalesce to another mutation (M168T), which was originally derived from Africa about 31000 to 79000 years ago. In other words, all Y-chromosome samples from China, with no exception, were originally derived from a lineage of African origin. Hence, we conclude that even a very minor contribution ofin situ hominid origin in China cannot be supported by the Y-chromosome evidence.
