>There are also many similarities with the Jomon, the ancient Japanese (before the Yayoi farmers) who were also Siberian, as opposed to Chinese.<

The Jomon are not ancient 'Japanese', they may even have been of Caucasian stock whose origins are still unclear but who were possibly the ancestors of the Ainu. The Yayoi (ancestors of the modern Japanese) share a common linguistic/cultural origin with the Koreans, Mongolians and Tibetans (but not, of course, to the Ainu or Chinese).

For those interested there is a lecture tomorrow by Prof. Joseph Kreiner at the Sainsbury Institute in Norwich entitled <b>The Ainu of Japan: European Images of an Enigmatic People</b>.
