Autosomal DNA

Manchus can be modeled as having West Liao River-related ancestry (83%) and Iron Age Taiwan-related ancestry (17%). There is no significant evidence of West Eurasian admixture in Manchus compared to their Tungusic neighbors. Overall, Manchus cluster with Northern Han Chinese, some Yugurs, and Koreans, who themselves cluster with Japanese.
