Scientists find genetic evidence for southern origin of modern humans in East Asia
    
    Genetic studies have provided evidence for an African origin of East 
Asian populations, but their prehistoric migration routes in the Asia 
region remain a long-standing controversy. On the basis of the genetic 
evidence generated so far, particularly from Y-chromosome data, CAS 
researchers recently discovered that early modern humans entered the 
region from its southern part, and then they made a northward migration 
about 25,000 - 30,000 years ago.
