Genetic stability in the lower Yangtze River basin from Song to Qing Dynasty
Our findings illustrate enduring genetic continuity in the lower Yangtze River basin throughout historical times. These findings underscore the region's role as a genetic bridge between northern and southern East Asia, retaining local rice-farming ancestry while being shaped by southward expansions of Yellow River-related ancestry.
