“…The existence of this haplogroup in Hokkaido Jomons suggests genetic ties between Hokkaido Jomons and the above-described northern populations. However, this haplogroup is not observed in other East and Southeast Asian populations (Yao et al, 2002;Maruyama et al, 2003;Tanaka et al, 2004;Trejaut et al, 2005;Umetsu et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2006;Hill et al, 2007;Nohira et al, 2010). Judging from its coalescence time (14,392 6 3,855 years, Derenko et al, 2007), this haplogroup may have been brought to Hokkaido after migration of people with N9b mtDNA.…”

“…We assigned each Hokkaido Jomon mtDNA to the relevant haplogroup according to the HVS and coding region data, by using previously published data and the classification tree (Starikovskaya et al, 1998;Schurr et al, 1999;Ingman et al, 2000;Derbeneva et al, 2002;Kivisild et al, 2002;Yao et al, 2002;Maruyama et al, 2003;Tanaka et al, 2004;Starikovskaya et al, 2005;Trejaut et al, 2005;Kong et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2006;Derenko et al, 2007;Hill et al, 2007;Volodko et al, 2008;Van Oven and Kayser, 2009;Nohira et al, 2010), so that each mtDNA was allocated to the smallest named haplogroup. Because several segments of the same mtDNA sample were analyzed independently, utmost caution was exercised to avoid artificial recombination of the results.…”

To clarify the colonizing process of East/Northeast Asia as well as the peopling of the Americas, identifying the genetic characteristics of Paleolithic Siberians is indispensable. However, no genetic information on the Paleolithic Siberians has hitherto been reported. In the present study, we analyzed ancient DNA recovered from Jomon skeletons excavated from the northernmost island of Japan, Hokkaido, which was connected with southern Siberia in the Paleolithic period. Both the control and coding regions of their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed in detail, and we confidently assigned 54 mtDNAs to relevant haplogroups. Haplogroups N9b, D4h2, G1b, and M7a were observed in these individuals, with N9b being the predominant one. The fact that all these haplogroups, except M7a, were observed with relatively high frequencies in the southeastern Siberians, but were absent in southeastern Asian populations, implies that most of the Hokkaido Jomon people were direct descendants of Paleolithic Siberians. The coalescence time of N9b (ca. 22,000 years) was before or during the last glacial maximum, implying that the initial trigger for the Jomon migration in Hokkaido was increased glaciations during this period. Interestingly, Hokkaido Jomons lack specific haplogroups that are prevailing in present-day native Siberians, implying that diffusion of these haplogroups in Siberia might have been after the beginning of the Jomon era, about 15,000 years before present.

Obtaining genetic information about early humans is indispensable to our understanding of the demographic history of mankind. In the present study, we performed a detailed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis of a skeleton of the initial Jomon era unearthed from the Yugura cave site in Nagano, Japan, which was dated to 7920-7795 calBP by direct 14 C dating. mtDNA of the Yugura skeleton was designated to haplogroup D4b2, which is widely observed in present-day East Asians, including the Japanese, but is absent in Hokkaido Jomon people. This finding indicates that the basal population of Japan was heterogeneous with respect to their mtDNA lineage. This is the first report on the genotype of the people from the initial phase of the Jomon period.

To fill remaining gaps in mitochondrial DNA diversity in the least surveyed eastern and western flanks of Siberia, 391 mtDNA samples (144 Tubalar from Altai, 87 Even from northeastern Siberia, and 160 Ulchi from the Russian Far East) were characterized via high-resolution restriction fragment length polymorphism/single nucleotide polymorphisms analysis. The subhaplogroup structure was extended through complete sequencing of 67 mtDNA samples selected from these and other related native Siberians. Specifically, we have focused on the evolutionary histories of the derivatives of M and N haplogroups, putatively reflecting different phases of settling Siberia by early modern humans. Population history and phylogeography of the resulting mtDNA genomes, combined with those from previously published data sets, revealed a wide range of tribal- and region-specific mtDNA haplotypes that emerged or diversified in Siberia before or after the last glacial maximum, ∼18 kya. Spatial distribution and ages of the "east" and "west" Eurasian mtDNA haploclusters suggest that anatomically modern humans that originally colonized Altai derived from macrohaplogroup N and came from Southwest Asia around 38,000 years ago. The derivatives of macrohaplogroup M, which largely emerged or diversified within the Russian Far East, came along with subsequent migrations to West Siberia millennia later. The last glacial maximum played a critical role in the timing and character of the settlement of the Siberian subcontinent.
