Micronesia Ancient DNA
收藏资源简介：
Micronesia began to be peopled at least as early as any other part of Remote Oceania, but the origins of its inhabitants remain unclear. We generated genome-wide data from 123 ancient individuals and co-analyzed with data from diverse modern and ancient individuals to document five streams of migration into the region: three related to East Asians, one to Papuans, and one to Polynesians. Indigenous people of the Marianas archipelago are consistent with deriving all their pre-colonial ancestry from East Asian-derived groups and are the only Remote Oceanians without evidence of Papuan ancestry. Female-inherited mitochondrial DNA was highly differentiated across early Remote Oceanian communities but homogeneous within communities, implying matrilocal social practices whereby women rarely moved households after marriage.
