>A University of Tokyo study published in the Journal of Human Genetics has clarified the ancestral origins of modern Japanese people by analyzing the full nuclear genome of a 2,300-year-old skeleton from the Doigahama ruins, discovered in 1952. The research challenges the debate between dual- and triple-structure models of Japanese ancestry, revealing that the modern Japanese population primarily descends from a mix of indigenous Jomon people and immigrants from the Korean Peninsula during the Yayoi period (300 B.C. to 300 A.D.). The analysis showed that the Yayoi individual's DNA best matches a blend of Jomon genetics and the genetic composition of modern Koreans, which includes both East and Northeast Asian ancestries. These Korean immigrants likely introduced new technologies and cultural perspectives, shaping Japanese society. The findings, enabled by rare access to Yayoi-period remains, provide a clearer understanding of the genetic and cultural formation of the Japanese population.
Since the Japanese and Koreans have practically the same ancestry, why don't we get along more often?
