I look for this from time to time but haven't been able to find anything conclusive. I've seen studies on Japanese vs. Korean genetics and they don't appear to be that similar, or any more similar to say Korean vs. Chinese. However, I haven't found any that compare people from the south of Korea to people from Kyushu in Japan, and I wonder how genetically similar they are. The �Ҿƾ� family from ���� ruled the western part of Japan for about 100 years and the dialects down there resemble each other...

Anybody know the answer to this?

THe genetics shouldn't be that different, should it? I mean the migrations of people moved from china to korea then on to Japan. I imagine the Japanese people mixed with the aboriginal people who were there and that would avvount for some genetic diversity.

Well, for one, the Japanese Emperor is part Korean.

This is an undisputable fact, supported by the extensive genealogical records kept by the Imperial family.

Several centuries back, before the Japanese started considering the Koreans to be "sub-human", several of the Japanese Emperors married Korean women. The current Emperor can count several Koreans among his ancestors.

Ooooh, I can see this one getting juicy. I'm interested in seeing how this thread develops.

Koreans are pure blooded!! there never has been, nor will there ever be, any mixing of mongrel blood with the chosen blood...in the history of 800 or so invasions of the motherland, there has NEVER been any mixing of the blood....our women never allowed themselves to bed down with the mongrels...God forbid!!!

Korean women marrying foreigners and having babies? those are pure-blooded Han babies adopted by the couple..no Korean woman in her right mind would dare mix her blood with those mongrels!!!

Japan occupied Korea for the first part of the 20th century. Their genetics are going to be awfully close.

I read a newspaper article maybe last year that stated a Korean geneticist had doned conclusive research on the genetic origins of Koreans. He stated that Koreans structures are linked closely to Japanese, and lesser (though still linked) to Chinese.

It might also be important to consider that ever-so-nationalistic Koreans never admit that the Goguryeo people spoke a language that was incomprehensible to the Korean-folk on the rest of the peninsula, but that it was understood by the Paekje royal folk (sent from Goguryeo to Paekje), and Japanese groups. This is supported in ancient Chinese texts on the matter.

Using current Korean logic, then why don't the Japanese claim Korea as part of its history, since the Japanese royal family is apparently of Korean origin!! (just as the Koreans claim Goguryeo). For these reasons, I think the Korean arguments are absurd.

It's all about keeping the women like herding cattle.

The men here don't want any to "stray."
