It breaks down the barrier between human sciences and natural sciences in order to reconsider the diversity of languages on the basis of the latest research findings from genetics, linguistics, and other domains, offering valuable insights into when and how the divergence of languages and genes began and language and gene admixture and replacement occurred. The book focuses on language evolution between the border of Gansu and Qinghai Province in China, but the research doesn?t neglect the area beyond China?s northern borders. Manchu, a dying language belonging to the Tungusic group, is also studied to enhance our understanding of language replacement. This work is the result of a four-year collaboration between teams of geneticists and linguists in France and China. 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aLanguages 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aHuman genetics 606 $aPhysical anthropology 606 $aHistorical Linguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N26000 606 $aAsian Languages$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N15000 606 $aHuman Genetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008 606 $aBiological and Physical Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12010 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aLanguages. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 0$aHuman genetics. 615 0$aPhysical anthropology. 615 14$aHistorical Linguistics. 615 24$aAsian Languages. 615 24$aHuman Genetics. 615 24$aBiological and Physical Anthropology. 676 $a417.7 702 $aXu$b Dan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLi$b Hui$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252702703321 996 $aLanguages and Genes in Northwestern China and Adjacent Regions$92495361 997 $aUNINA
