The study of southwest China is vital for understanding the dispersal and development of farming because of the coexistence of millet and rice in this region since the Neolithic period.1,2 However, the process of the Neolithic transition in southwest China is largely unknown, mainly due to the lack of ancient DNA from the Neolithic period.

Genetic evidence for the spread of agriculture in Europe by demic diffusion
Nature, 1991European agriculture originated in the Near East about 9,000 years ago. The Neolithic reached almost all areas suitable for agriculture by 5,000 yr BP (before present). The routes and times of the spread of agriculture through Europe are relatively well established, but not its manner of spreading.

AbstractThe hypothesis that both genetic and linguistic similarities among Eurasian and North African populations are due to demic diffusion of neolithic farmers is tested against a wide database of allele frequencies. Demic diffusion of farming and languages from the Near East should have determined clines in areas defined by linguistic criteria; the ...

Spatial Autocorrelations of HLA Frequencies in Europe Support Demic Diffusion of Early Farmers
The American Naturalist, 1982Twenty-one allele frequencies of the human HLA loci from 58 localities in Europe and the Near East were subjected to spatial autocorrelation analysis. The frequencies were significantly heterogeneous over the localities. Significant clinal structure is shown by most allele frequencies.

Gene Frequency Clines in Europe: Demic Diffusion or Natural Selection?
The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1996According to the demic diffusion model ofCavalli-Sforza and colleagues, agriculture was spread through Europe by a rapid population expansion of early farmers from the Near East. These scholars use the presence of gene frequency clines paralleling this direction of spread to support their model.

HOMO, 2009
The transition to agro-pastoralism in central Europe has been framed within a dichotomy of "regional continuity" versus exogenous "demic diffusion". While substantial genetic support exists for a model of demographic diffusion from an ancestral source in the Near East, archaeological data furnish weak support for the "wave of advance" model ...

Demic and cultural diffusion in prehistoric Europe in the age of ancient genomes
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2017AbstractAncient genomes can help us detect prehistoric migrations, population contractions, and admixture among populations. Knowing the dynamics of demography is invaluable for understanding culture change in prehistory, particularly the roles played by demic and cultural diffusion in transformations of material cultures.

The Han Chinese history is shaped by substantial demographic activities and sociocultural transmissions. However, it remains challenging to assess the contributions of demic and cultural diffusion to Han culture and language, primarily due to the lack of rigorous examination of genetic-linguistic congruence.

AbstractDental and gnathic metrics from a series of Mesolithic and Neolithic cemetery samples in the Dnieper River valley (Ukraine) are compared. Both male and female Neolithic samples have larger dental dimensions, wider dental arcades, and a more robust mandibular corpus than do the Mesolithic samples.
