This is the interesting report. You see, some 2 years back , NASA research reported that the de-generations of DNA found that Chinese Ancester's back in 2.5 Million years ago is the African. However, I was told by the researcher in Mexico that their ancesters come from Mongolia, some 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
