Broadcast in August 2011 Homo sapiens was born in Africa tens of thousands of years ago. When and how did our ancestors, who left Africa and spread across the world about 100,000 years ago, come to Japan? New science, such as digital analysis of the morphology of fossil human bones discovered in the Japanese archipelago and surrounding areas, and analysis of mitochondrial DNA extracted from the bones of Jomon people, have revealed new facts that overturn conventional theories. We approach the latest scenario of the birth of the Japanese people through interviews with leading researchers. Main interviewees: Yuji Mizoguchi (National Museum of Nature and Science) Hiroyuki Sato (University of Tokyo) Yosuke Kaifu (National Museum of Nature and Science) Kenichi Shinoda (National Museum of Nature and Science) ********************************************************************************* <Galileo X program website> https://www.web-wac.co.jp/program/gal...
