Ancient China: Afro-Asiatic Pt2.

In September 1998, a scientific study posted in the Los Angeles Times concluded that:“Most of the population of modern China — one-fifth of all the people living today — owes its genetic origins to Africa.”
  From the realm of the physical anthropology of early China, according to the preeminent scholar in the field, Kwan-chih Chang: “Skeletal remains from the Hoabinhian and Bacsoinan strata, similar to those found in southwest China, bear Oceanic Negroids features.”
  The first Black people in China then — the people who are probably the first of any people in China — were apparently Black people akin to the Batwa of Central Africa and the people of the Andaman Islands today — we call the Diminutive Africoids. They are found in the Philippines, northern Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra in Indonesia and other places.
  Chinese historians called them “Black dwarfs” in the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220 to AD 280) and they were still to be found in China during the Qing dynasty (1644 to 1911). In Taiwan they were called the “little Black people” and, apart from being diminutive, they were also said to be broad-nosed and dark-skinned with curly hair.
  The Shang Dynasty (1766-1027 BCE), China’s first dynasty, dating from the 18th to the 11th century BCE, apparently had a Black background, so much so that the conquering Zhou described them as having “Black and oily skin.”
  The Xia Dynasty began with the reign of Qi, the son of the Great Yu, and ended with the fall of Jie. With its capital located in Anyi (north of Xia County in mid-west Shanxi Province), the Xia was ruled by the descents of the Xiahou tribe. Altogether, there were 16 kings in 13 generations. For many years, the Xia Dynasty was thought to be a mythical time that the Chinese tell about as part of their oral history. Though the Xia Dynasty existed in oral histories, there was no archaeological evidence found of it until 1959. Then excavations at Erlitou, in the city of Yanshi, uncovered what was most likely a capital of the Xia Dynasty. This site showed that these people, were direct ancestors of the Lungshan/Longshan culture. Radiocarbon dates from this site, indicate that it existed from 2100 to 1800 B.C. Despite this new archaeological evidence of the Xia, they are still not universally accepted as a true dynasty. The Shang, rather than the Xia, are still considered by most, to be the first true dynasty of China. Like the Xia, the Shang were originally considered to be a myth
