A TEAM OF Chinese-led scientists made international headlines in May with newly published research that showed a surprising result. The Ice Age humans who crossed what is now the Bering Strait and populated North America had origins not only in Siberia, as previously known, but also in coastal China. The work of the team, which included Italian researchers, involved the collection and analysis of 100,000 genetic samples covering modern populations from nearly all of Eurasia, and more than 15,000 ancient samples.
一支由中国领导的科学家团队在五月的新发表研究中成为国际头条新闻，结果表现出令人惊讶的结果。跨越现在的白令海峡和人口稠密的北美的冰河时代人类不仅起源于西伯利亚，而且在中国沿海。包括意大利研究人员在内的团队的工作涉及100,000个遗传样本的收集和分析，这些遗传样本涵盖了几乎所有欧亚大陆的现代人群，以及15,000多个古代样本。
