Brief introduction of the report: it briefly introduces the theories, methods and important research results of ancient DNA research, and provides new research methods and ideas to explore the migration process of human origin and the evolution of modern humans at different time stages. This paper introduces the research on the migration and fusion of people in northern China from the rise of agriculture in Neolithic age, and the application of ancient DNA technology in the study of the evolution of ancient microbes.
