| Abstract | The Lua are recognized as the first moderninhabitants of Northern Thailand and play animportant role in Northern Thai history. There is noevidence stating that the Lua are in the Nan province,the place where the H?tin, who migrated from Laos,reside. The objectives of this study are to depictwhether the Lua in Nan are the same ethnicity as the ancient Lua in northern Thai history, or they are theH?tin who call themselves Lua; and to investigate thegenetic structure between males and females ofstudied populations and the factors affecting theirstructure, employing the Y-chromosomalmicrosatellites and mtDNA as markers. The studiedpopulations comprise 4 Lua subgroups from MaeHong Son (Lua-1), Chiang Mai (Lua-2), and Nan(Lua-3 and Lua-4) provinces, as well as 3 H?tinsubgroups from Nan: the Mai (H?tin-1), and Prai(H?tin-2, H?tin-3). The results revealed that thegenetic structures of the Lua in Nan differed fromthe ancient Lua, hence they should not be the sameethnic group. The Lua-3 from Nan could be the sameethnicity as H?tin-1 (Mal), while the Lua-4 could bethe same ethnicity as H?tin-3 and H?tin-4 (Prai).Furthermore, the sex-biased genetic structure in thestudied populations was observed. The difference inpost-marital residence, geography, language, as wellas founder effect and/or inbreeding suggested theintegrated effect on the genetic structure of thestudied populations. |
