If I understand correctly, among the human subjects surveyed in this research, only 4 Asians (4 Chinese to be exact, as Taiwanese are Chinese ) share the most sequence variations in their mitochondrial DNA with the "Alien Blonde Female". This is quite a surprise to me, suppose the abduction case is real and the "alien" hair sample is genuine.How many Chinese subjects were surveyed for DNA sequences in this research? That'll give a rate of occurence of the DNA variations. You are right that Asians are more varied than their appearances. China, for instance, have 56 ethnic groups and numerous dialects among the Han people, the majority of Chinese population. These dialects can be so different in pronunciations that, unless writing their words down, two Chinese speaking different dialects can hardly understand each other. Of course, they can communicate in Mandarin, which is the standard Chinese language taught in school. Even the appearances of Chinese may have changed along the history. If you look at the Ceramic Warriors of Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), most of them have eyelids without a fold, a trait you often see in Koreans and Japanese, but not of as high a ratio in modern-day Han Chinese. Mongolians are very close to Chinese from the Northern China, at least on their appearances. |
