| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genomic DNA was extracted from 22 protohistoric Kofun skeletons excavated from Tohoku and Kanto region of Japan, and their mtDNA haplogroups and their frequencies were compared to those of the Tohoku Jomon skeletons and modern-day individuals inhabited Tohoku region. Consequently, mtDNA haplogroups and their frequencies of the Kofun skeletons were much more similar to modern-day individuals than to Tohoku Jomon people. This result suggests the fact that the genetic influence of the Yayoi immigrants had already become evident in Eastern Japanese people in the Kofun era.
