Principal component analysis of ancient human bone genome data. (IMAGE)
Caption
Each symbol indicates an individual, and all modern human populations except the modern Japanese population are shown in gray. Modern populations are roughly divided into three classes: Central and South Asia, Siberia, Southeast and East Asia. The human bones excavated from the archaeological sites are shown in different symbols and colors. For example, the Jomon are indicated by a red triangle, the Yayoi by an orange triangle, and the Kofun by a blue triangle. Crosses indicate individuals of the Paleolithic period. It can be seen that the genetic affinity with the continental population increases with the passage of time from the Jomon.
