    On September 30, 2022, Molecular Biology and Evolution, a well-known international journal in the field of molecular evolution, published the research results of the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences "Tracing Bai-Yue ancestry in aboriginal Li people on Hainan Island"


    The Li people located on Hainan Island in China are famous for their long ethnic culture and unique ethnic customs, but there are still many opinions about the genetic origin and history of the


    The research team first combined with the various ethnic groups in southern China and Southeast Asia, confirmed that the Li ethnic group in Hainan had a close genetic relationship with the Baiyue ethnic group that used the Dong-Dai language family in history, and identified a Baiyue ancestral source enriched in the Baiyue ethnic group, and found that the ancestral source had the highest ancestral proportion among the Li people in Hainan (Figure 1).



    The research team further reconstructed



    In addition, the research team also explored



    Overall, this study not only conducts a systematic population genetics study of the Li ethnic group in Hainan from the whole genome sequencing data level, reveals the genetic flow and adaptive evolutionary characteristics of the Li ethnic group in Hainan, but also constructs the genetic and evolutionary model
