Research Abstract

In order to propose a new scenario for the formation process of Japanese, it was re-examined, using morphological and DNA data, how the physical characteristics of inhabitants in the Japanese Archipelago have changed from the Paleolithic times to the Jomon and Yayoi Periods. As a result, the possible Northeast Asian origin of the Hokkaido Jomon people, the importance of Australia in searching for Jomon ancestors, the necessity of re-examination for the genealogical relationship between the Minatogawa and Jomon peoples, etc. were pointed out. This is a new step toward the scenario reconstruction.
