Mitochondrial DNA Analysis of an Ancient Population in Southwestern Taiwan
並列摘要
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was successfully extracted from 5 individuals of an ancient population at the Wushantou (WST) archaeological site. This site is located in the watershed of the Zenwen River of Tainan County in southwestern Taiwan and is around 2,500~2,800 years old. The hypervariable region I of mtDNA of these 5 individuals was sequenced and analyzed, and the results of analysis show that the ancient population shares a closer genetic relationship with the Bunun tribe in the mountain areas of central and southern Taiwan than with the Siraya, a plain tribe who lives in the same area as the WST population did. There are two possibilities for this result. One possibility is that WST and Siraya do not have a direct ancestor/ descendant relationship, and this means that population replacement occurred in the WST area. The other possibility is that the WST was the ancestor of Siraya, but intermarriage between Siraya and Han Chinese during the past few centuries has caused the relationship between the Siraya and the WST to be more distant. The result also indicates that the Bunun might once have lived in the WST area in prehistoric time.
