Chinese Scientist Proves Original People of China Were From Africa

In 2005, a Chinese DNA specialist, Jin Li, leading a team of Chinese and other scientists, proved through DNA tests that the first inhabitants of China were indeed from the land today known as Africa, who migrated across Asia in a southeasterly direction before heading north into what is now China.

This challenges the long-standing view of Chinese paleontologists, based on fossil evidence, that an East Asian branch of Homo erectus independently evolved into Homo sapiens.

"It is now probably safe to conclude that modern humans originating in Africa constitute the majority of the current gene pool in East Asia," said Jin.

The African presence in China is perhaps the most challenging area of research within the broad realm of the African presence in Asia. Challenging though it may be, however, it is not an area that can be dismissed.

Chancellor Williams, for example, in his classic Destruction of Black Civilization, noted that: "Ancient China and the Far East, for example, must be a special area of African research. How do we explain such a large population of dark skinned people in southern China, powerful enough to form a kingdom of their own?"

While in September 1998, a scientific study posted in the Los Angeles Times concluded that: "Most of the population of modern China — one-fifth of all the people living today — owes its genetic origins to Africa."

From the realm of the physical anthropology of early China, according to the preeminent scholar in the field, Kwan-chih Chang: 'Skeletal remains from the Hoabinhian and Bacsoinan strata, similar to those found in southwest China, have Africoid features.'
