Scientists analyzing the genomes of thousands of people across Japan discovered evidence for a previously overlooked third ancestral group, challenging the long-accepted “dual origins” theory. The newly identified ancestry appears linked to the ancient Emishi people of northeastern Japan. Researchers also uncovered inherited Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA connected to conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
A genetic analysis conducted by RIKEN researchers has revealed the existence of a third ancestral group in the Japanese population, challenging the widely accepted theory of dual origins. The study, which involved sequencing the genome of more than 3,200 individuals, suggests that ancestry is linked to the ancient Emishi, inhabitants of northeastern Japan. Genetic analysis challenges the theory of dual origins. For decades, the origin of the Jap…
