This study analyzes 42 genomes from Jomon hunter-gatherers to show they adapted to cold environments through positive selection during the Last Glacial Maximum.

The paper reports Denisovan leg bones from Taiwan, showing large body size and some modern human-like features, challenging Bergmann's rule and suggesting gene flow or behavioral similarities.

This study analyzes the habitat and diet of a Denisovan from Late Pleistocene Taiwan using radiocarbon dating and stable isotopes, revealing a C4-dominated environment and a diet rich in animal protein.

This study investigates the factors behind the failed invasion of pigs on Rebun Island using archaeological data, identifying reduced propagule pressure, cold climate resistance, and resource scarcity as key contributors.

This study sequenced ancient and modern genomes from the Ryukyu Archipelago to show genetic differentiation between Ryukyu Jomon and Hondo populations, with admixture occurring around 1,000 YBP.

This study analyzes eight high-coverage Jomon genomes to reveal genetic continuity and phenotypic traits of ancient Japanese hunter-gatherers, showing their genetic influence on present-day Japanese populations.

This study analyzes carbon and nitrogen isotopes in primate hairs to assess dietary patterns and variability in Kalinzu Forest Reserve, Uganda, revealing intra-individual changes and differences among species.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Classic Copan, revealing a genetic continuum with dual ancestral structure between Mesoamerican and South American Farmer ancestry.

The paper estimates the demographic history of the Jomon people using complete mitogenomes, revealing an effective population size increase during the Incipient-Initial phase not seen in present-day Japanese populations.

The paper uses next-generation sequencing to assess endogenous DNA preservation in ancient bones by correlating collagen residual ratios with mapping ratios in Jomon remains.

The paper analyzes the genome of a Jomon individual to infer migration patterns into East Asia, finding multiple waves and a coastal route from Southeast Asia.
