At about 35,000 B.C. some of these people took this route and entered Japan. They became the first Humans to inhabit the Japanese Islands. Later, another group, known to us as the Ainu, followed. Today, their genes can still be found in 40% of modern Japanese, as well as Mongolians and Tibetans- Past and Present Kings & Queens.
