http://www.anthropedia.science/single/?p=10000826&t=10037963This is an interesting remark. We already noticed that one so far known Jeju y hg profile is not extremely different from other Korean y hg profiles. But this could be due to the special composition of the samples. Maybe they are from a social category relatively likely to be descended from mainlanders. Since mainlanders (and among them especially intellectuals) might have had special skills, their descendants might have inherited relatively high social ranks and might, thus, have been more approachable (if not interested) concerning gene tests. By contrast, descendants of, e.g., ancient fishermen might have continued to live at locations from which geneticists are maybe less likely to get samples. That said, intellectuals had to go to Jeollanam-do as well according to what I read. But the demographic impact of such migrations might have been weaker since it is larger than Jeju-do. And metropolises like Seoul might have been the other way round: in their cases diversity could have increased due to commoners who arrived from the countryside of all parts of Korea. Feel free to correct me and to contribute some more topic-related ideas. Since we often discuss the results of population genetic studies, one should always have the possibility of sample biases in the back of one's mind. |
