Ancestry profile of Japanese genetic clusters illustrating their genetic similarities to five mainland Asian populations [46]. Gyaneshwer Chaubey and George van Driem (2020) suggest that the Jōmon people were rather heterogeneous, and that there was also a pre-Yayoi migration during the Jōmon period, which may be linked to the arrival of the Japonic languages, meaning that Japonic is one of ...
The Jōmon people represent the indigenous population of the Japanese archipelago during the Jōmon period. They are inferred to descend from the Paleolithic inhabitants of Japan. Genetic analyses on Jōmon remains found them to represent a deeply diverged East Asian lineage.

According to the recent genetic studies, the Ryukyuans share more alleles with the southern Jōmon (16,000–3,000 years ago) hunter-gatherers than the Yayoi people, who had rice farming culture, have smaller genetic contributions from Asian continental populations, which supports the dual-structure model of K. Hanihara (1991), a widely ...
While the Japanese and Korean people certainly are expected to share a considerable degree of genetic affinity by virtue of historical and geographic proximity, modern population genetics has provided a means to quantitatively measure the extent to which such an affinity is present.
Haplogroup C1a1 (M8) is mostly unique to the Japanese archipelago, and its migration route is enigmatic. C1a1 is estimated to be one of the common haplogroups among the Jōmon people (about 30% or more), next to D1a2a, D1a1, C2, K, and F. [15]
Japanese people (Japanese: 日本人, Hepburn: Nihonjin) are an East Asian ethnic group native to the Japanese archipelago. [15] [16] Japanese people constitute 97.3% of the population of the country of Japan. [1] Worldwide, approximately 124 million people are of Japanese descent, making them one of the largest ethnic groups.
Carriers of Haplogroup C among the later Jōmon people of Japan and certain Paleolithic and Neolithic Europeans carried C1a, C1b, and C1a2. Whereas Haplogroup D is found at high frequencies only amongst Tibetans, Japanese peoples, and Andaman Islanders, and has been found neither in India nor among the aboriginal inhabitants of the Americas or ...
