Abstract excerpt

Prehistoric population movements played a central role in shaping the genetic diversity across Eurasia. As the eastern terminus of the Eurasian continent, the Japanese archipelago provides a pivotal context for reconstructing the genetic interplay between prehistoric indigenous lineages and continental migrations. However, high-resolution genomic evidence from mainland Japan is limited due to poor DNA...
