Japanese people are not an individual ethnic group, and they have a connection with the people of the Chinese mainland and the Korean peninsula.

There is no ethnic group that is not genetically diverse, although some are more diverse than others. Statistically, it is a high probability that all of the peope alive a 3-4thousand years ago (whos lineages did not die out) are a direct descendent of everyone alive today. The number of possible different discendents double with each successive generation. You have two parents, four grandparents, eight greatparents and etc. This creates a exponential curve that explodes in numbers over time. Assuming 4 generations per century, you potentially have 16 different ancestors alive in the same generation 100 years ago, 256 alive 200 years ago, 1,048,576 ancestors in the generation 500 years ago, 1,099,511,627,776, 1,000 years ago, 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 potentially different ancestors alive at the time of Christ and etc.
