Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We present nucleotide sequence data for mitochondrial DNA extracted from ancient human skeletons of the Yayoi era (ca. 2,000 BP) excavated from the Takuta‐Nishibun site in northern Kyushu of Japan. Nucleotide sequence diversity showed that the Yayoi people of the Takuta‐Nishibun site were not a genetically homogeneous population. This site shows a diversity in the burial style. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a statistically significant correlation between burial style and the genetic background of the Takuta‐Nishibun individuals, and revealed no discrete clustering patterns for the Yayoi individuals, for early modern Ainu, or for the Jomon people. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.</jats:p>
