QuoteReplyTopic: Shang dynasty are northern Han people Posted: 28-Apr-2014 at 01:00
Yinxu population had genetic communication with various contemporary populations and significantly contributed to the matrilineal genetic heritage of the modern northern Han Chinese population.
When and from which direction was the Sinitic expansion?
This expansion would surely have been from north to south
Sinitic=north origin

The paper suggests that the women came from the north because northern culture was matrilocal/matrilineal. Women created daughter settlements by expanding south to mate with new males.
Furthermore, considering the topographical features of location of Anyang, it is possible that the Yinxu ancient residents contained the culture and absorbed the genetic components of various contemporary populations who lived in north China.
