**"Analyzed the DNA of ancient humans and disseminated new knowledge to the world."**

Molecular anthropologist, Doctor of Medicine. Kenichi Shinoda, former director of the National Museum of Nature and Science and a visiting professor at the Open University of Japan and Kyoto University, is noted for his research on human origins and ancient social structures.

Shinoda's representative research involves analyzing mitochondrial DNA from Jomon human remains in Japan and ancient human remains from neighboring countries, investigating the migration routes by which modern humans, originating in Africa, spread across the globe. He also analyzed the mitochondrial DNA of South American mummies to study the social structure of Andean indigenous peoples before the Spanish conquest.

Shinoda states, "I want to discover new insights into the origins of the Japanese people and deepen our self-awareness as Japanese." His books include "Ancestors Who Became Japanese" and "A DNA-Based Theory of Japanese Origins."

English Summary

**"We analyzed the DNA of ancient humans and spread new wisdom to the world"**

Molecular anthropologist, Doctor of Medicine. Kenichi Shinoda, a former director of the National Museum of Nature and Science and a visiting professor at the Open University of Japan and Kyoto University, is attracting attention for his research on human origins and ancient social structures.

Dr. Shinoda's representative research involves analyzing mitochondrial DNA from Jomon human bones in Japan and ancient human bones from surrounding countries, and investigating the route by which modern humans, which arose in Africa, spread across the globe. In addition, we analyzed the mitochondrial DNA of South American mummies to study the social structure of Andean indigenous people before the Spanish conquest.

Shinoda says, ``I want to discover new wisdom about the origins of the Japanese people and deepen my awareness of being Japanese.'' His books include ``The Ancestors Who Became Japanese'' and ``A Theory of Japanese Origins Based on DNA.''
