| Research Abstract |
To explore further our previous findings that drastic spatio-temporal changes in the genetic structure of Chinese people had occurred during the past 2, 500 years, we analyzed ancient DNA of human remains excavated from the 3, 000-and 3, 500-year-old sites in the Central Plain of China. We obtained the following results :(1) drastic spatio-temporal changes had occurred also between 3, 500 and 3, 000 years ago, and(2) the population of 3, 500 years ago showed a genetic similarity with present-day Han Chinese.
