East Asia is one of the few regions in the world where a relatively large number of human fossils have been unearthed--a discovery that has been taken as evidence for an independent local origin of modern humans outside of Africa. However, genetic studies conducted in the past ten years, especially using Y chromosomes, have provided unequivocal evidence for an African origin of East Asian populations. The genetic signatures present in diverse East Asian populations mark the footsteps of prehistoric migrations that occurred tens of thousands of years ago.
东亚是世界上少数几个出土了数量相对较多人类化石的地区之一——这一发现被视为现代人类在非洲以外独立本地起源的证据。然而，过去十年进行的基因研究，尤其是使用Y染色体的研究，为东亚人群的非洲起源提供了明确的证据。存在于不同东亚人群中的基因特征标志着数万年前发生的史前迁徙的足迹。
