We analyzed the most comprehensive population-genomic data for the Philippines: 1,028 individuals covering 115 indigenous communities. We demonstrate that the Philippines were populated by at least five waves of human migration. The Cordillerans migrated into the Philippines before the arrival of rice agriculture, where some remain as the least admixed East Asians carrying an ancestry shared by all Austronesian-speaking populations, thereby challenging an exclusive out-of-Taiwan model of joint farming\u2013language\u2013people dispersal. Altogether, our findings portray the Philippines as a crucial gateway with a multilayered history that ultimately changed the genetic landscape of the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-db32e940 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-underlined-heading\">Related content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Largest-ever DNA mapping study of the Philippines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uu.se\/en\/press\/press-releases\/2021\/2021-03-23-%E2%80%8Blargest-ever-dna-mapping-study-of-the-philippines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UU Press Release<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An article in PNAS described as the largest and most comprehensive DNA-mapping study of the Philippines, by Larena et al.
