The scientists found that 42 of the genes of East Asia populations had a dominant version, indicating that people in East Asia had adapted to an ancient coronavirus.
"When we compared them with populations around the world, we couldn't find the signal," said Yassine Souilmi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Adelaide in Australia and a co-author of the new study.
The researchers also found the 42 genes owned about the same amount of mutations, which means they had all evolved at about the same time.
The study estimated the genes evolved antiviral mutations between 20,000 and 25,000 ago, most likely over the course of a few centuries.
Before this new study, scientists have been unable to trace the family of the coronaviruses back very far into history.
There are three coronaviruses, including COVID-19, SARS, and MERS, in the pathogen family that has been found adapted to infect human and cause severe respiratory disease over the past two decades. While there are four other coronaviruses that can infect people but the symptoms could be just mild colds.
The most recent mild coronaviruses crossed the species barrier in the 1950s, as the oldest one dated back to 820 years ago.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Al.) refused an interview when confronted by CNN journalist Jim Acosta over the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, telling Acosta he does not trust the network to report on him fairly or accurately.
"Congressman, is there any way we can get you to talk about Jan. 6," Acosta, who was seeking to talk to GOP lawmakers about conspiracy theories surrounding the attack, sought to question Brooks as the lawmaker was unlocking his bike outside the Capitol on Saturday.
"I do not do interviews with CNN because I do not trust CNN to be honorable or truthful," the Republican said without turning around to face Acosta.
