It's well established that the modern Japs have around 12-18% of Jōmon admixture. But who really were they, genetically wise?
Whenever this tpic comes up, the first pictures posted are the ones showing those primitive-looking dravidian/austronesian people. But it makes no sense for them to comprise a fifth of the Japanese genepool. Let’s egzamine why:
A few facts about the modern Japanese:
>they have much more facial hair than other asians
>many of them have brown eyes with much weaker epicanthic folds
> Jōmon skulls look very similar as the WHG/Yamnaya skulls
>they have comparable (maybe even higher) average IQ than the Koreans
This alone hints a European-like affinity.
The first three facts point to an European-type admixture, and the fourth basically disqualifies any austronesian/dravidian possibility (if those primitive people contributed more than 15% of the Japanese genepool, their average IQ would be in the 90s, while in reality it reaches 105).
