>>10745459One misconception anons claim here is that Jomon =/= Yayoi, this is false
The theory that native Jomons were systematically exterminated and displaced by the mainland Yayoi invaders has been recently ruled out from archaeological and DNA studies
Yayois are simply Jomon people who abandoned the nomadic hunter-gather lifestyle and adopted agriculture, hence why their facial and bone structure altered due to their change in diet
There were indeed some other Mongoloid races from the mainland that migrated to the Japanese archipelago but it was rather limited (due to the ocean acting as a barrier), hence why the Japanese are distant from the Chinese and Mongolians.
