[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] We know for a fact that Tianyan man was related to the populations of the Americas. And we know that some of them maintained their dark pigment into the current day. And of course that is mostly in tropical areas. Across the various Native American populations you see the variation in features also found in Asia. Unfortunately as for the mainland, since historic migrations from China well into the modern era have impacted many parts of South East Asia, a lot of this discussion gets bogged down in modern ideas of what constitutes "Asian" features. When there is absolutely no guarantee that the people of many parts of China today looked the same as they did 5,000 years ago. And I am not saying they were all dark skinned either. Be that as it may, without more ancient DNA from across the continent and more actual full skeletons or skulls, this will remain an open question in terms of the diversity and evolution of populations in ancient Asia over time.
