What people are saying
Contributors discuss the article extensively by citing specific findings, such as the identification of the Tarim Basin individuals as primarily descending from local populations rather than being linked to Europeans. Phrases like 'nonsense' and 'must be a result of your delusion' indicate robust debates, while terms like 'terrific story' show excitement about the discoveries. The tone across many posts suggests a mix of curiosity and a desire to clarify misinformation surrounding the mummies' origins.
Most discussions generally agree with the article's conclusions about the mummies' origins, countering alternative theories about their ancestry.
The discussions demonstrate high interest, often referencing the article and connecting it to broader contexts of historical genetics and ancient migrations.
While some responses show a moderate depth of engagement, such as citing other studies and summarizing key points, not all participants delve deeply into the scientific methodologies.
Many contributors express that the findings have significant implications for understanding the genetic history of the region.
Abstract in brief
- The study analyzes genomic data from Bronze Age mummies in Xinjiang, revealing distinct ancestral backgrounds for individuals from the Dzungarian and Tarim Basins.
- The Dzungarian individuals show primarily Afanasievo ancestry, while the Tarim individuals are derived mainly from a local population with evidence of dairy pastoralism practices.
- Findings challenge previous theories that linked the Tarim mummies to Proto-Tocharian speakers and suggest they developed from a unique local culture influenced by surrounding agricultural and pastoral practices.

O artigo do Zhang et al ainda diz ''Tarim_EMBA1 (fase inicial das múmias como a da trança) NÃO eram misturados. Eram uma população altamente endogâmica com herança quase pura de ANE.'' DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-04052-7 DOI: 10.1126/science.aat7487
Primeiro devo explicar que os antigos residentes de Turim não tem conexão DIRETA com Europeus ou indo-europeus (isso é falso!), eles são descendentes diretos dos ANE (Ancient north euroasian) e outros grupos que mostrarei no decorrer do post (1) https://t.co/1qrNqV0DEX
