Ancestors of Chinese came from India: Study |
BANGALORE: The ancestors of most Asian
populations, including the Chinese and southeast Asians, came from India, a new
genetic study across 10 countries has revealed. The study found that humans
first migrated to the Indian subcontinent from Africa some 100,000 years ago and
then spread to other parts of Asia.

"When humans moved out of
Africa, there was a migration to India and from India to southeast Asia and then
east Asia, and finally to the Americas. So, all Asians have a genetic connection
with India," Mitali Mukerji, a scientist from the Institute of Genomics and
Integrative Biology who was in the team, said.
