摘要：Molecular anthropology has become a multidisciplinary field cross-linked by both natural science and social science. In the studies of molecular anthropology, human DNA is used as a tool for analyzing the population structures and relationships. These analyses result in genetic distances among the populations, which, together with findings from other anthropologic fields, is used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees of various populations. In this paper, we found a close relationship between the Austronesian and Daic populations in the south of East Asia, and reconstructed the phylogenesis of the two population groups using paternal Y-chromosomes and maternal mitochondrial DNA. We argued that an Austro-Tai super-family is reasonable based on the close relationship between the two families
