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.
