According to a study conducted among scientists from China, Indonesia, Britain and the United States, it is true that, as has been previously considered, the origin of the inhabitants of East Asia is Africa. To carry out the research, the DNA of chromosome Y of 12,127 men from this territory has been studied.
The father and children's Y chromosome is the same, it does not undergo changes. Therefore, the DNA analysis of this chromosome allows a lot of information about evolution. So far, this type of research has been done using the most affected mitochondrial DNA.
