Abstract: One-fifth of the world's population - that's 1.2 billion people — is Chinese. But, although unified politically and linguistically (800 million people speak Mandarin), there are groups of Chinese that are quite different from each other genetically, according to the most comprehensive genetic analysis of China ever made. These results bear on models of the origins of East Asian peoples.
