| Research Abstract |
In East Asia, the most distinctive outliers are Jomon and Ainu in Japan. Ainu shows close affinities with Native northwest Americans. On the other hand, Jomon shares similar characteristics with Early Southeast Asians on the one hand, and Ainu as well as some Native Americans on the other hand. Such findings suggest that the morphological diversity of the prehistoric populations distributed in relatively vast region from Southeast Asia to northern part of Japanese Archipelago might not have been so large. The intraregional variation in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Northeast Asia is parallel with each other. This indicates a deep rooting for the relationship among the three population groups. Genetic drift are taken into consideration, however, it is far from obvious whether the Southeast Asians and East/Northeast Asians are separate phylogenetic units.
