We cite Heyerdahl, along with others, but we do not support his broad theory. We describe 2 possibilities: Native Americans, whose coastal voyaging is little appreciated, but did exist, drifted west, or Polynesians, whose voyaging prowess we describe, sailed east & returned. 4/5

If big corporations like
@illumina
keep measuring all world regions with the same lens without subsidizing technology cost in coordination with local distributors and governments, research progress will be halted for years dramatically 6/6

Fascinante historia! El legado de las migraciones asiáticas en México es mayor de lo que se piensa y cada vez hay más evidencia de su importancia en la diversidad actual de la población. Aquí una perspectiva genética:
En 1911, Wei Zhu, migrante cantonés piso territorio zapoteca por primera vez.
Dejó en esta tierra una familia binnizá y migrante.
Este es su legado.
En el pueblo nos conocen cómo "los chinos", pero aquí tenemos sembrado el ombligo
