Six human remains (dating approximately 2500 years ago) were excavated from Pengyang, China, an area occupied by both ancient nomadic and farming people. The funerary objects found with these remains suggested they were nomads. To further confirm their ancestry, we analyzed both the maternal lineages and paternal lineages of the ancient DNA. From the mitochondrial DNA, six haplotypes were identified as three haplogroups: C, D4 and M10. The haplotype-sharing populations and phylogenetic analyses revealed that these individuals were closely associated with the ancient Xiongnu and modern northern Asians. Single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis of Y chromosomes from four male samples that were typed as haplogroup Q indicated that these people had originated in Siberia. These results show that these ancient people from Pengyang present a close genetic affinity to nomadic people, indicating that northern nomads had reached the Central Plain area of China nearly 2500 years ago.
从中国彭阳地区出土了六具人类遗骸（距今约 2500 年前），该地区曾有古代游牧民族和农耕民族居住。随葬品表明这些遗骸的主人是游牧民族。为了进一步确定他们的祖先，我们对古代 DNA 的母系和父系进行了分析。从线粒体 DNA 中，我们确定了六个单倍型，它们属于三个单倍型群：C、D4 和 M10。单倍型共享群体和系统发育分析表明，这些人与古代匈奴人和现代北方亚洲人密切相关。对四个男性样本的 Y 染色体单核苷酸多态性分析表明，这些人起源于西伯利亚。这些结果表明，来自彭阳的这些古代人与游牧民族具有密切的遗传亲和力，这表明北方游牧民族在 2500 年前就已经到达了中国的中原地区。
