The Tianyuan genome, as well as the genomes of individuals that lived at a similar time in Europe, shows that Asian and European populations had already begun to diverge at least by 40,000 years ago. At that time, modern human populations in Eurasia were subdivided not only into populations ancestral to present-day Asians and Europeans, but also into populations that did not contribute detectably to present-day populations. The shared ancestry between the Tianyuan individual and a 35,000-year-old individual in Europe and present-day Native American groups in South America further highlights that both substructure and population contacts have characterized the population history in Eurasia.
