Ancient genomic DNA analysis of Jomon people

To investigate the genetic relationship among two Jomons and HGDP-CEPH East
Eurasians, Melanesians, and Native Americans I carried out PCA. I observed that two Jomon
individuals clustered with present-day East Eurasians, but they were relatively closer to
Melanesians than other East Eurasians (Figure 4.5a).No European gene flow was observed in Shikkariabe Jomons as well as Sanganji
Jomons.Finally, one of the most important discoveries is the existence of genetic
relationship between Jomon people and archaic humans. I observed the genetic relationship
between not only Jomon and Vindija Neanderthal but also Jomon and Denisovan.The existence of Denisovan DNA material in Jomon people will be one of the center of debate
connected to not only the history of Japanese but also the origin and population structure of East
Eurasian.
