Genetic Surname Found in 1.5 Million Chinese Men

Posted in China, Culture by Elliott Back on November 2nd, 2005.

In certain ethnic groups in China, researchers were able to find the same male genetic markers, which they postulate were introduced by Giocangga, founder of the Qing dynasty, and his numerous children:

“We noticed just two types of Y chromosome that were extraordinarily frequent - one of them making up around 3% of our sample.

More accurate analysis then found that this particular genetic code first appeared just before the Qing dynasty, which came to the fore in 1616 and had conquered China by 1644.

“We soon realised there was a major historical event going on at this time - the establishment of the Qing dynasty, which conquered China and ruled for several hundred years,” Dr Tyler-Smith said.
