A groundbreaking genetic study conducted by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences has uncovered new evidence that challenges the longstanding belief in a dual-origin model of Japanese ancestry. This study shows that their genetic legacy persists, with their ancestry decreasing as one moves westward across Japan.

We leveraged modern human–introgressed sequences in the Neanderthal genome to refine estimates of Neanderthal ancestry in contemporary humans by decomposing IBDmix-detected segments into those attributable to human-to-Neanderthal (H→N) versus Neanderthal-to-human (N→H) gene flow in 2000 modern human individuals.
