No genetic evidence yet for hinnies at Mazongshan (400-160 BCE), northwestern China

Gaétan Tressières, Hojjat Asadollahpour Nanaei, Xuexue Liu, Yanli Zhang, Ludovic Orlando

The paper reanalyzes ancient DNA data from Mazongshan and finds that four specimens previously identified as hinnies are actually donkeys, removing genetic evidence for hinnies at the site.
