Fine-scale genetic structure and natural selection signatures of southwestern Hans inferred from patterns of genome-wide allele, haplotype, and haplogroup lineages by Wang, Mengge, Yuan, Didi, Zou, Xing, Wang, Zheng, Yeh, Hui-Yuan, Liu, Jing, Wei, Lan-Hai, Wang, Chuan-Chao, Zhu, Bofeng, Liu, Chao, He, Guanglin

“…Genetic homogeneity within Guizhou populations was further confirmed via the observed strong genetic affinity with inland Hmong-Mien people through the observed genetic clade in Fst and outgroup f 3 /f 4-statistics. qpGraph-based phylogenies and f 4-based demographic models illuminated that Guizhou Hans were well fitted via the admixture of ancient Yellow River Millet farmers related to Lajia people and southern Yangtze River farmers related to Hanben people. …”
