East Asia encompasses a wide variety of environments, peoples, cultures and languages. Although this review focuses on East Asia, no geographic region can be considered in isolation in terms of human population history, and migrations to and from East Asia have had a major impact. Here, we review the following topics: the initial colonization of East Asia, the direction of migrations between southeast Asia and northern Asia, the genetic relationships of East Asian hunter-gatherers and the genetic impact of various social practices on East Asian populations. By necessity we focus on insights derived from mitochondrial DNA and/or Y-chromosome data; ongoing and future studies of genome-wide SNP or multi-locus re-sequencing data, combined with the use of simulation, model-based methods to infer demographic parameters, will undoubtedly provide additional insights into the population history of East Asia.
东亚地区拥有多样的环境、民族、文化和语言。尽管本综述重点关注东亚地区，但就人类人口历史而言，没有任何一个地理区域可以孤立地考虑，东亚地区的人口迁徙对其他地区产生了重大影响。在此，我们综述了以下主题：东亚地区的初始殖民化、东南亚与北亚之间的迁徙方向、东亚狩猎采集者的遗传关系以及各种社会习俗对东亚人群的遗传影响。由于需要，我们重点关注线粒体 DNA 和/或 Y 染色体数据中得出的观点；目前和未来对全基因组 SNP 或多位点重测序数据的研究，结合使用模拟、基于模型的方法推断人口参数，无疑将为东亚人口历史提供更多的见解。
