Who Are the Japanese Really? New DNA Discoveries Rewrite Japan’s Origins

For centuries, scientists believed that the Japanese people were formed from just two ancient groups: the Jomon hunter-gatherers and the Yayoi farmers. But recent breakthroughs in DNA research are completely rewriting this story. In this video, we explore how modern genetic studies — including discoveries by Japan’s RIKEN Institute, the University of Tokyo, and Kanazawa University — reveal a far more complex picture of Japan’s origins. New evidence suggests multiple waves of migration, a possible “third gene,” and continuous mixing over thousands of years. You’ll learn: Who the Jomon and Yayoi people really were How their physical traits, lifestyles, and genes differed Why modern Japanese populations vary by region What ancient DNA reveals about Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestry The shocking discoveries at the Aoya-Kamijichi site Why old theories are being challenged by modern science This is the fascinating story of how DNA is transforming our understanding of Japanese history — and why the past is far more complex than we once believed.
