Recent developments in archaeological research have highlighted significant interest and findings in human origins and interbreeding among ancient populations. Chinese President Xi Jinping, expressing an extraordinary interest in archaeology, stated that modern East Asians are primarily descended from Homo erectus, known as 'Peking Man,' in China, rather than Homo sapiens from Africa. This statement was made in the context of his call for increased archaeological efforts on September 28, 2020. Concurrently, studies focusing on skull research have begun to shed light on the interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals. Additionally, preliminary data from the analysis of ancient DNA from an elite nomadic warrior buried in the Tuvan 'Valley of the Kings' has been released, though the full paper is yet to be published. Further research has linked an elusive human group to the 150,000-year-old remains of the 'Dragon Man' in China, suggesting a complex web of human ancestry and migration.
