Book: A History of Overseas Chinese in Africa to 1911 by Li Anshan
This seems like an interesting read. In reading the summary and browsing through the pages at Google/books, it seems to cover the global colonial system that dispersed Chinese laborers to the Caribbean, Latin America, the U.S. and parts of Africa like the Gold Coast and Senegal. The book might lead to some evidence of Afro-Asian births and/or populations emerging during those time as some of the laborers, or indentured servants, did not return to China. I've long bee curious of direct Asian ancestry existing among West Africans stemming from the colonial and Sino-African trade eras. This seems like it may be a good read and reference for anyone wanting to contribute to the article. Bab-a-lot (talk) 01:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
About prehistoric people in China
It is crazy to assume that afro-asian intermarriage took place without any genetic or anthropology evidence. Using only speculations and theories could attract many strong criticism and manipulation by pan-nationalists on Wikipedia. You can't just edit an theory on Wikipedia like that when you lack all the evidence above.
- There is no DNA evidence or anthropology to support this
- There is no such identified people or population that exist anywhere today
- No evidence negroid skeleton only homo-sapiens peking men
FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION OF SHANG
" A careful study of the bones of 400 individuals removed from more than 300 graves indicates that the Jiahu ethnic group may be identified with the North Asian Mongolian group, and also with the Xiawanggang and Miaodigou groups in Henan Province and the Dawenkou, Yedian and Xixiahou groups that were later found in Shandong Province. The range of male heights was from 170 to 180 cm. In the late Palaeolithic Zhoukoudian Cave,`unspecialized' Mongoloids were described6. By the Yangshao period (3000 BC± 5000 BC)7, the skull measurements are `physically Chinese' and `modern'6. The physical similarity of the Jiahu people to the later Dawenkou (2600 BC±4300 BC) indicates that the Dawenkou might have descended from the Jiahu, following a slow migration along the middle and lower reaches of the Huai river and the Hanshui valley.

China 23: The Shang, Invaders or Indigenous Racial & Cultural continuity, from Yangshao to the Shang.
" Racially the Shang were Mongoloids, like the preceding Yangshao and Longshan cultures. The Shang bones are indistinguishable from the Longshan. The Shang were not invaders from the Middle East. In addition to racial similarities, the Shang also shared cultural similarities with the Yangshao and Longshan cultures. "
