>Sept 17 (Reuters) - An analysis of ancient DNA is transforming the understanding of the genetic ancestry of Japan's modern-day population, identifying a crucial contribution from people who arrived about 1,700 years ago and helped revolutionize Japanese culture.

>Research published on Friday showed that the people of Japan bear genetic signatures from three ancient populations rather than just two as previously thought - a more complex ancestry for the archipelago nation of roughly 125 million.

>The researchers analyzed genetic information from 17 ancient Japanese people - DNA extracted from the bones of 12 specifically for this study and five done previously - and compared it to genomic data for modern Japanese people.

>Previously documented genetic contributions were confirmed from two ancient groups. The first was Japan's indigenous culture of hunter-gatherers dating to roughly 15,000 years ago, the start of what is called the Jomon period. The second was a population of Northeast Asian origins who arrived at about 900 BC, bringing wet-rice farming during the subsequent Yayoi period.

>Modern Japanese possess approximately 13% and 16% genetic ancestry from those two groups, respectively, the researchers determined.

>But 71% of their ancestry was found to come from a third ancient population with East Asian origins that arrived at roughly 300 AD to launch what is called the Kofun period, bringing various cultural advances and developing centralized leadership. These migrants appear to have had ancestry mainly resembling the Han people who make up most of China's population.

>"We are very excited about our findings on the tripartite structure of Japanese populations. This finding is significant in terms of rewriting the origins of modern Japanese by taking advantage of the power of ancient genomics," said geneticist Shigeki Nakagome of Trinity College Dublin in Ireland, co-leader of the study published in the journal Science Advances.

>The research demonstrates the ability of ancient DNA to uncover new ancestral components that could not be seen using modern genetic data, added study co-leader Daniel Bradley, also of Trinity College Dublin.

>The study showed that people from Japan's ancient foraging, agrarian and state-formation cultural phases each provided a significant contribution to the ancestry of today's Japanese population, Nakagome said.

>The oldest of the skeletons from which DNA was extracted was a female dating to around 9,000 years ago from a Jomon period site in Ehime Prefecture, while the most recent were three skeletons from about 1,500 years ago from a Kofun period site in Ishikawa Prefecture, according to geneticist and study co-leader Takashi Gakuhari of Kanazawa University in Japan.

>The Kofun period is named after the large earthen tombs built for members of the new ruling class at a time of the importation of technology and culture from China by way of the Korean peninsula.

>"Chinese characters started to be used in this period, such as Chinese characters inscribed on metal implements, for example swords," Nakagome said.

>Insularity was a byproduct of Japan's island geography, surrounded by oceans that made migration in ancient times difficult. The first people to reach Japan arrived more than 30,000 years ago at a time of lower sea levels when there may have been a land bridge to the Asian mainland.

>The researchers also said the genetics of Japan's population have remained largely stable since the Kofun period, which lasted from around 300-700 AD.

Is this why we're so successful in the region?

No they aren’t because Japs and Koreans look completely different. Japs don’t need plastic surgery like Koreans do

>Trinity College Dublin

Japanese really Han Chinese. Did the Confucius Institute of Ireland finance this study?

Have you seen what the Japanese look like? Look up what the average bug woman looks like, or even better look up what your favorite bug woman used to look like in her teens.

Chinks are chinky who would have guessed!

Thank you for your service PFC Gutierrez.

I could have told them this and they wouldn't have to pay a gorillion yen in research. I literally can't tell yellowniggers apart

>>510255568 (OP)
That explains why they are all faggots.

>>510256896
Well you got chinks and jungle monkeys both are subhumans as niggers are the only thing worse is the Pakijeet

>modern
Japanese language literally originated in Korea and went extinct there.

>>510255568 (OP)
this is old news
everyone knows japanese are hybrids of ainu, chinese and korean, with a little bit of vietnamese and phillipino
and maybe a dash of slav since they're not that far off, and maybe the occasional merchant or arab selling wares by ship from shanghai or silk road
japanese normally have more body hair than koreans who even struggle to grow eyebrows

and maybe some greek or roman since the japanese have the orochi myth that is similar to the hydra, and another myth that is very similar to orpheus and eurydice

roman coins were discovered under a pagoda, maybe they were acquired by trading with china, or an ancient traveller, or there was occasionally a ship from rome that went further than normal exploring the wider world
they both like public baths didn't they...

>>510255568 (OP)
We know lol

First habitants were Polynesian nigs, then East Asians came, from China into Korea into Japan

Btw Ainus are NOT related to Europeans, but the Asians are (if distantly)

>>510258226
>Polynesian nigs
>Btw Ainus are NOT related to Europeans, but the Asians are (if distantly)
ainu are more like an advanced aboriginal austronesian, many of the original asiatic minority groups are austronesian as well
ainu are not directly related to modern europeans, but I think they must have branched from a common indoeuropean phenotype in siberia, one branch went east to become the ainu (jomon?) of japan, and there probably were more of them before they became isolated in northern japan
and the other branch yamnayas went to india/europe and later become europeans
maybe this distant memory is where japanese 'yamato' come from?

however some japanese and asians do have some polynesian and south american features
there were probably waves of inhabitants, people have lived on those islands for a long time

and probably everytime a chinese dynasty fell, a new group of arrivals came with chinese knowledge which is why several aspects of japanese culture which originated in china are associated with japan more now, like sushi

This is true, but there are still a ton of Koreans in Japan.
>>510256755
>Have you seen what the Japanese look like?
He’s right but for the wrong reasons. The ugly Japs you’re thinking of are ethnically Korean

>>510258226
there has to be an explanation for why japanese have more caucasian like features, the ainu explanation doesn't cover it all, and not every japanese has ainu dna

or why they share haplogroups with tibetans more than other asians
maybe they have some ancient indian ancestry mixed in? might explain some of the beak like noses they have
or maybe one of the lost tribes went there in ancient times and assimilated entirely into the population

>>510259276
quite a lot of hapas could pass as japs
as long as they don't have anglo genes which makes a beady eyed hapa

>>510259872
imagine if they sequenced all the jomon dna and created one 100% pure jomon just to see what the heck they were

or imagine if we recreate a neandathal from all the remaining dna spread out from everyone

>>510260005
I wonder if they ever did an Encino Man type movie?

there's some stuff about evolution paths in here, around 20 minutes in.

is this the far eastern version of white europeans were really niggers historical revisionism?

>>510255568 (OP)
>Modern Japanese are literally Koreans
They have a significant white-like admixture element.
That's what makes them superior Asians and gives them their creativity.

>>510260005
>>or imagine if we recreate a neandathal from all the remaining dna spread out from everyone
We don't have any Neaderthal mitochrondrial DNA though.

And here you have a thread where a case is made that they were connected to the Western Hunter Gatherers.

this is news to exactly no-one except nips
they can cope about it as much as they want, block studies retcon events and make shit up etc
but it is what it is

Everyone outside of east asia has round eyes and facial hair, that's just the default

>>510260914
Japan was behind Korea and China until like 1800
99% of everything Japanese is Yayoi or continental. Stop worshipping northern abbos
