<<... claiming that people who neither look like Han chinese, nor speak Chinese, and who pre-dated both Mongal and Han control over greater China, are, in fact, Chinese.
They clearly are not Chinese. And "Bejing" communists and their apologists, like yourself, continue to mask your imperialism behind the facade of nationalism and "re-unification".>>
hamoon, the tibetans are more han than the folks in miami are to other folks in boston. are you perhaps suggesting that either boston should be vacated or miami should be severed? how do you propose the voting should be done?

"... One 2010 study, part of the 1000 Genomes Project and published in the journal Science,[13] claimed that modern Tibetans split off from the Han less than 3,000 years ago.[14] However, archaeologists say they believe that the Tibetan plateau has been inhabited for at least 7,000 years and maybe for as long as 21,000 years. "The separation of Tibetans and Hans at 3,000 years ago is simply not tenable by anything we know from the historical, archaeological or linguistic record," said Mark Aldenderfer, a Tibetan expert at the University of California, Merced.[15] Aldenderfer also noted there had probably been many migrations onto the Tibetan plateau, and that there was indirect evidence that pastoralists had entered the plateau from the north-northeast around 6,000 years ago. Earlier genetic studies have found that Tibetans are more similar to northern Han than to those from southern China, and have some admixture of genes from Central Asia, he said. Geneticists have a more elastic view of dates than do archaeologists, and the estimate of a Han-Tibetan population split at 3,000 years ago could probably have been adjusted to 6,000 if the geneticists had taken any account of any other kind of evidence.[15]
The distribution of Haplogroup D-M174 is found among nearly all the populations of Central Asia and Northeast Asia south of the Russian border, although generally at a low frequency of 2% or less. A dramatic spike in the frequency of D-M174 occurs as one approaches the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of western China. D-M174 is also found at high frequencies in Japan but it fades into low frequencies in the Han populated mainland China between Japan and Tibet. ..." |
