Which nation is the ancestor of the Japanese?

The ancestors of the Japanese belong to the Mongolian race of East Asia type. In addition, regarding the national origin of Japanese island residents, it is currently believed that Japanese island residents began in the Neolithic Age. The earliest Japanese residents were Tungusic people who moved from the northern mainland, and later Malays crossed the sea from the south.

The ancestors of the Japanese

The Japanese were handed down by the aborigines of Japanese islands and the Yayoi people from the Korean peninsula.

The research team composed of the University of Tokyo and the Graduate School of a comprehensive university jointly published this research result on October 20 121October 3 1. Based on the published DNA data of about 460 Japanese indigenous scholars, Asians and westerners, the team additionally analyzed the data of 7 1 person such as dwarf slaves and Okinawa. Dwarf slaves are primitive Japanese residents who have been living in Hokkaido and other northeastern regions since the 5th century BC.

The results show that pygmy slaves are the closest to Okinawa people in genetics, followed by Japanese indigenous rope writers, Koreans and China people. At the same time, it also shows that the rope literati are genetically closer to Koreans and China than the dwarf slaves and Okinawa people.

This means that from 3000 years ago, the rope literati of the Japanese archipelago were mixed with the Yayoi people from the East Asian continent (mainly through the Korean Peninsula). On the contrary, the mixed-race between people in Hokkaido and Okinawa, which face each other from north to south, has been slow. Therefore, in these areas, the genetic characteristics of local people have been preserved relatively more.
