Laos Genetic Origins: Surprising Revelations from Ancient DNA | A Documentary

Описание: Laos Genetic Origins: Surprising Revelations from Ancient DNA | A Documentary

Welcome to a scientific documentary that decodes the secret history hidden in our DNA. We journey deep into Laos, a land at the crossroads of Southeast Asia, to explore its human evolution. Through cutting-edge genetic science and archaeology, we reveal a story of human migration far older than imagined, touching on the Khmer Empire and the great Tai-Kadai migration. We'll uncover a lost civilization at the Plain of Jars and trace the hidden ancestry left by the Ho Chi Minh Trail. From the prehistoric humans of the Annamite Mountains to the Bronze Age masters and river nomads of the Mekong, this is a story of survival and adaptation. We'll even see how mythology and royal lineage of the Lan Xang kingdom are reflected in ancient DNA. This is anthropology meeting colonial history, revealing the true origins of the Hmong, Akha, and Laotian people.
