Ancient Chinese study reveals 4,000-year gene fusion in Ningxia

A large-scale ancient genomics study in China's Ningxia region has revealed a 4,000-year fusion of Eastern and Western human genes. Researchers from Fudan University, working with local archaeological institutes, analyzed 69 high-quality genomic datasets from skeletal remains. The findings, published in Nature Communications, indicate that significant gene flow occurred through both conflict and commerce, particularly with the large-scale migration of Han dynasty individuals into the area.
