Article Synopsis
- The Yellow River Delta significantly influenced the Neolithic civilization in China, but its population history remains unclear due to limited ancient genome data.
- This study presents genome-wide data from 69 ancient individuals and 325 modern individuals in Shandong, revealing a notable influx of ancestry from central and southern China during key Neolithic periods.
- Genetic analysis indicates that the Longshan culture is closely related to the Dawenkou culture, with post-Neolithic migrations shaping the region's genetic diversity and modern populations.

Article Synopsis
- The Datong Basin served as a site for interaction and mixture between Han farmers from the Yellow River Valley and non-Han nomads from the Eastern Steppe, leading to uncertainty about the region's genetic history.
- Analysis of 289 mitogenomes showed high genetic diversity in the Datong population, with significant population expansion and close genetic ties to Northern Han subgroups, especially those from northern frontiers.
- The maternal gene pool of the Datong population was primarily composed of northern East Asian lineage (66.44%), with a smaller contribution from southern East Asians (31.49%) and negligible west Eurasian influence (2.07%), highlighting a stronger genetic connection to Yellow River farmers despite historical nomadic dominance
