Description:
To test the hypotheses of modern human origin in East Asia, we sampled 12,127 male individuals from 163 populations and typed for three Y chromosome biallelic markers (YAP, M89, and M130). All the individuals carried a mutation at one of the three sites. These three mutations (YAP+, M89T, and M130T) coalesce to another mutation (M168T), which originated in Africa about 35,000 to 89,000 years ago. Therefore, the data do not support even a minimal in situ hominid contribution in the origin of anatomically modern humans in East Asia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ke, Y -- Su, B -- Song, X -- Lu, D -- Chen, L -- Li, H -- Qi, C -- Marzuki, S -- Deka, R -- Underhill, P -- Xiao, C -- Shriver, M -- Lell, J -- Wallace, D -- Wells, R S -- Seielstad, M -- Oefner, P -- Zhu, D -- Jin, J -- Huang, W -- Chakraborty, R -- Chen, Z -- Jin, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 May 11;292(5519):1151-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, Institute of Genetics, School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, 220 Handan Road, Shanghai, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11349147" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
