Scientists Reveals Surprising Tibetan Genetic Composition

Two major questions about Tibetans are yet to be resolved. First, who are the ancestors of Tibetan. And second how long have humans lived on the Tibetan Plateau? Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests that humans have been present on the plateau for at least thirty thousand years.
Additionally, linguistic studies indicate that Tibetans and Chinese people share a common ancestor, with their split occurring around six thousand years ago. The origin of Tibetans remains one of the most contentious puzzles in history, anthropology, and genetics. Recent studies uncover a complex web of ancient and modern DNA.With traces from Denisovans, and other mysterious ancestors. This intricate genetic tapestry, shaped by early settlers, continues to fuel debates and challenges our understanding of Tibetan ancestry.Recent genetic research estimates a divergence time between Tibetans and Han Chinese at about two thousand seven hundred and fifty years ago. The discrepancy between various studies highlights the need for more comprehensive data.

You've got me thinking. I'd love to see a study of ancient DNA links btw First Americans, specifically Inuit and Arctic peoples and the Asian continent.

Tibet is always a fascinating subject, thank you for genetic analysis!

2:30 I really didn't want to see MTG today.

The voice indicates a South Indian background with a Convent/English medium accent.

Subject is interesting. Some papers evidence a Eurasian language family model. Sino-Tibetan language family is not related to this Eurasian family.

Genetics, there's D y-haplogroup in Tibetan populations. Also a Denisova connection.

Tibetan genetic split from Han population and language split is the reason for watching the video. Thanks.

very ineresting, thank you. Plenty of food for thought.

People do not go to live on high, unwelcoming plateaux unless they have to.
Who was chasing the Tibetans? What climate upheaval caused wars and subsequent Tibetan migration?

[Joe-Przybranowski]

My question would be why would anyone go up there to live?
There were hardly any people on this planet thirty thousand years ago so they weren't driven there from overcrowding.
There's barely any resources, they weren't farming, they weren't herding-
Why?

I had a girlfriend in college named Denise Sovan

Yeti .... where is it now, hiding in tibetan ....?😅

Funny, I didn’t see ‘Israeli’ in the list of people starting at 6:20 🤨….Palestinian was there though 😁🇵🇸

Facial morphology does not preserve, therefore reconstructions are not useful and are anthropomorphisms as Danny Vendramini points out.

The Yellow people are not a monotheistic country. The Yellow people’s paradise has a long history, and it is also a paradise with four rivers. It is recognized that there are two such places, and they are still synonymous with heaven today. This is common sense among the Yellow people, just like knowing their own country. Common sense is the same as in the capital. The Garden of Eden must be in a place with lots of water, trees, grass, mountains and mountains. Eurasian blacks and whites were forced to move west and south. The Garden of Eden was invaded and occupied. There is no real place in Mesopotamia. Garden of Eden

And yet Tibetan history starts for 6 century ad and have forgotten their old monpa and bon heritage 😊😅

Neanderthal were no more differentiated from us than today living subsaharans.
If you look at a reconstruction of a neanderthal's face @3:32, it could easily pass as a modern human. Now if you look at a subsaharan it is more different than modern human. Also neanderthal was our grand grand.. fathers. But subsaharans were not and mixed with an unknown archaic hominid called Naledi that we do not have in our genes. This concludes that Neanderthal is closer to us than subsaharans the latter should be considered a different hominid.

What? Chinese and Tibetans share ancestors ... so do Chinese and Mongols/Chinese and Koreans. This is so misleading. Chinese Hans are closer to and so many other before Tibetans. Only Uyghurs/Kazakhs/Tajiks are more distant than Tibetans to Hans.

The yellow race originated in the Americas, the result of the mixture of black people and a kind of local humanoid in the Americas. Horses originated in the Americas, and the northern part of Eurasia produced the mixture of white people, black people and an ancient Eurasian humanoid. The purpose of the mixing was to serve the local people. If people want to enter the ocean to survive, the best way is to mix with fish-men. This is very difficult. The number of mermaids is not fixed, so it is very difficult to find them. If people want to enter Mars, the best way to survive is to mix blood and survive in space. Mixing is also needed. This is something that must be done. Unless they don't survive there, the yellow people invaded and colonized Eurasia on horseback. Since then, Eurasia has had disastrous consequences, and wars have begun to occur frequently. Every Eurasian The residents of the mainland have suffered direct or indirect losses. All human wars began with the invasion of the Yellow people. Any war can be traced back to the Yellow people. For thousands of years, the center of human civilization has been in the Mesopotamia. For tens of thousands of years, humans have The center is not, but in a densely populated area, where there are the most people is the center of the past. Apparently at some point between China and India, there is a place of Eden with four rivers, a paradise in the eyes of the Yellow people.

Tibetan males belong to Haplogroup D, Chinese belong to Haplogroup O. How can they have the same ancestry?
