Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The Qijia culture (2300-1500 bce) in northwest China's Gansu-Qinghai region facilitated prehistoric exchanges between East Asia and the Eurasian steppe, yet its population origins and demographic dynamics remain unclear. We investigate the maternal genetic diversity, ancestry, and regional impact of the Qijia people to clarify their role in the prehistoric peopling of East Asia. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
