🔴 🇯🇵 Genetic analysis of a Yayoi individual from the Doigahama site provides insights into the origins of immigrants to the Japanese Archipelago

"One of the important findings of this study is that, in all analyses, among modern populations, the Korean population exhibited more genetic similarity to the Doigahama Yayoi individual than any other East Asian populations, except for the Japanese. This suggests that immigrants to the Japanese Archipelago during the Yayoi period primarily originated from the Korean Peninsula."
