High-Coverage Jomon Genomes Provide Insights into Population Structure and Genetic Traits of Ancient Japanese Hunter-Gatherers

2025-12-16

Abstract excerpt

We analyzed eight high-coverage Jomon genomes spanning 9,000–2,800 years ago across the Japanese archipelago. Population genomic analyses revealed substantial genetic homogeneity across time and space reflecting post-glacial isolation, yet temporal stratification emerged: Initial Jomon (Iyai) individuals formed the earliest branch with weaker affinities to present-day Japanese. Using genomes from Todoroki and Chid...
