A recent, and to date the most extensive, genome-wide association study of the Han population shows that geographic-genetic dispersion from north to south has occurred. A recent, and to date the most extensive, genome-wide association study of the Han population shows that little geographic-genetic dispersion from north to south has occurred.[71] The older acknowledgement of linguistic expansion of Sinitic (Han), which had theorized a pattern of north to south, from millet cultivating to the humid areas where irrigated rice was possible did not seem viable. "There is no obvious candidate for the ethnolinguistic identity of the millet-growers of Péilígǎng and it may be they have no linguistic descendants." pg. 8  Analysis reveals that southernwestern rice growers transitioned to millet in the northwest when they could not find a suitable northernwestern ecology, where it was typically dry and cold, to sustain the generous yeilds capable in other areas such as along the eastern Chinese coast. page 137 The original language of millet farmers in the northwest, relating to the Peiligang culture some 6500 years ago and prior, found little to no legacy in the eventual Sinitic speech that arose during the Shang dynasty "and it is more helpful to think of Sinitic as one of Barnes’ (1993:108) ‘Late Neolithic Elites’ emerging between 3500-2000 BC." pg. 8
