The Story of Ancient East Asia

Peoples · Places · Empires · A shared past

When the Paleolithic peoples of Siberia ventured south and east, they found a world of extremes: volcanic islands, boundless steppes, river valleys rich with silt and promise.

In Japan, the Jomon people created some of the world's earliest pottery, living as hunter-gatherers for over 10,000 years in a culture of extraordinary longevity. On the mainland, Neolithic farmers along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers domesticated rice and millet, laying the foundations for the great dynasties to come.

The Bronze Age brought the Shang, whose oracle bones and ritual bronzes testify to a civilization of breathtaking sophistication. The Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties that followed unified vast territories, built the Great Wall, and opened the Silk Road.

In Korea, the Three Kingdoms forged their own identity, while in Japan the Yayoi migrants brought rice cultivation and metalwork from the continent.

On the steppe, the Xiongnu, Turks, and Mongols built empires on horseback that reshaped the continent. The Tang Dynasty presided over a golden age of poetry and trade. The Song invented gunpowder and movable type. Through every era, these populations endured, and their genetic signatures remain visible in the reference panels used by this report.

What You'll Discover

Not just percentages. A detailed look at how your DNA compares with ancient East Asian reference populations.

Most Distinguishing Analysis
01

DNA Segment Matching

We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient East Asian genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.

02

Your Ancient East Asia Index

A panel-specific 0-100 statistical similarity score weighting shared-segment evidence at 50%, ADMIXTURE distance at 31.25%, and Monte Carlo fit at 18.75%. It is not an ancestry percentage or proof of direct descent.

03

Reference-fixed PCA Projection

The fixed regional ADMIXTURE reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.

04

Where Your Matches Lived

See the real archaeological sites where your closest matches were excavated, from the islands of Japan to the plains of Mongolia.

05

Cultural Period Breakdown

Your genetic affinity to each East Asian era: Paleolithic, Jomon, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Imperial, Medieval, and Steppe, all quantified.

06

Your Closest East Asia Match

Meet the ancient individual whose DNA is most similar to yours. Learn their story, their era, and their place in East Asian history.

07

AI-Powered Analysis

Our AI assistant provides personalized explanations of your results, placing your genetic similarity in historical and archaeological context.

08

Regional Similarity Analysis

Explore connections to specific regions: the Japanese archipelago, the Korean peninsula, the Yangtze valley, the Mongolian steppe, Siberia, and more.

09

Haplogroup Lineage Connections

Find ancient East Asians who share your mtDNA maternal or Y-DNA paternal haplogroup, a shared lineage branch rather than a named common ancestor.

10

Migration Path Story

Understand whether your strongest similarity lies with the earliest Paleolithic settlers, Neolithic farmers, steppe nomads, or later dynastic populations across East Asia.

11

Archaeological Site Connections

Connect with famous sites like the Terracotta Army, Sanxingdui, Yoshinogari, Erlitou, Gyeongju, and the Xiongnu royal tombs where your matches were found.

Frequently Asked Questions

The report reveals your genetic similarity to East Asian civilizations spanning from the Paleolithic to the Medieval period. You receive a composite ancestry index, reference-fixed PCA analysis, haplogroup matches with ancient samples, and an interactive map showing where your genetic matches lived across China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Siberia.
No. A genetic match reflects genetic similarity to that ancient individual's reference profile, not proof of direct descent. Shared segments and haplogroup matches indicate a shared lineage branch or population-level affinity, not a documented family tree connection to a specific person.
Yes. The report spans Japan's Jomon hunter-gatherer tradition, the Bronze Age and Imperial dynasties of China including the Han, and the steppe empires of the Xiongnu and Mongols. Your genetic affinity to each of these cultural periods is quantified and visualized.
We support raw DNA data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, Living DNA, and Nebula Genomics. Upload your raw data file to receive your personalized Ancient East Asia report.
