In “Initial Upper Palaeolithic humans in Europe had recent Neanderthal ancestry”, the strongest connection is observed between Oase1 and the modern Daur people.

However, “Ancient Mitogenomes Reveal the Origins and Genetic Structure of the Neolithic Shimao Population in Northern China” points to the rare mutation A14370G, which was observed in the Daur people.

In Southern China, the rare mutation A14370G is observed in mtDNA M50.

Today mtDNA M50 is mainly observed in Southeast Asia, and the main sequence of this mtDNA lineage does not have apparent Neanderthal and Denisovan mutatations.

When Oase1 is usually viewed as yDNA K2a-M2308* of the same time of divergence as yDNA K2a-M2308* Ust-Ishim (as in Poznik et al, 2016), then the age of separation of Ust-Ishim’s yDNA K2a-M2308* was determined by Hallast as almost as deep as the split between yDNA K2a and yDNA K2b or the split between between yDNA P>P-V1651 (some of whose representatives migrated to the Philippines, where mtDNA M50 is also found) and yDNA M and S. “Ancient genomes reveal the complex genetic history of Prehistoric Eurasian modern humans” ( http://www.anthropol.ac.cn/EN/10.16359/j.1000-3193/AAS.2023.0010 ) did not support the assignment of Oase1 to yDNA N-M231, reiterating that Oase1 was not a progenitor of any of modern humans, which means that one common mutation, other than M231, can be a result of the contact of yDNA N-related population and yDNA K2a-M2308* Oase1-related population, such as the one, related to mtDNA M50 (the lineage observed in Southeast Asia), which also expressed itself in the genomes of the Daur.
