The origin of Shang People has always been controversial. We analyze the origin of the Shang people from human osteoar- chaeology methods. The study shows that the Shang people are a mixed population composed of a variety of physical shape and racial composition. The use of multivariate statistical analysis methods, this paper argues that the Shang people may be related to the west of Northeast China and west Liao River Basin ancient populations. And the Shang people were also influenced by the genetic influence of the ancient population from the Central Plains.
