The irony is that they weren't traditionally hunter gatherers but a sedentary people with plant cultivation before their lands were seized. There is also good evidence that they either were the Yayoi or were a similar or related group.
Yamato, Ainu, and Okinawans are ancient Jomon people with the same Jomon genes (haplogroup D). (By the way, Chinese and Koreans do not have the Haplogroup D gene.) The Jomon period lasted for 10,000 years, there were no wars, and everyone lived in peace and harmony. After the Jomon period, during the Yayoi period, the Yamato Jomon people were invaded by military immigrants from the Korean Peninsula and China, and the Yamato Jomon people mixed with them and became Yayoi people. As a result, mixed-race Yayoi people became physically different from Ainu people, but that doesn't change the fact that both Ainu people and general Yamato people are Japanese. The Ainu people have assimilated into the Japanese population, and most people do not even know that they have Ainu blood. There are almost no pure Ainu people left in Japan.
@@alkanchannel5630 I took 23&me and my ancestors migrated Arabia India Siberia Japan so I believe they mated throughout their migration. 23&me won’t show you these dna in your test percentages because after 5th generation it no longer shows. But your haplogroups still shows these genes so yes japanese are mixed with one of these countries they passed through.
