East Asian ethnic group native to the Korean Peninsula. As of 2021, there were an estimated 7. 3 million ethnic Koreans residing outside Korea. People of Joseon” The term “Joseon” is derived from the “Joseon dynasty”, a Korean kingdom founded by Lee Seong-gye that lasted for approximately five centuries from 1392 to 1910. Goryeo, a Korean dynasty spanning from 918 to 1392.

The largest concentration of dolmens in the world is found on the Korean Peninsula. Japanese series, which was a series that spanned from the Yayoi period to modern times, formed a single branch with Korea. Koreans are closer craniometrically to Kazakhs and Mongols than Koreans are close craniometrically to the populations in China and Japan. Koreans, along with Japanese and Tungusic speakers are generally considered a Northeast Asian group. Korean populations showed close relationships with Manchurians, Japanese, Mongolians and northern Han Chinese but not with Southern East Asians. Y-chromosomal distances showed a close relationship to most East Asian groups, including Southeast Asian ones.

Studies of polymorphisms in the human Y-chromosome have so far produced evidence to suggest that the Korean people have a long history as a distinct, mostly endogamous ethnic group, with successive prehistoric waves of people moving to the peninsula and two major Y-chromosome haplogroups. According to a genetic distance measurements from a large scale genetic study from 2021 titled ‘Genomic insights into the formation of human populations in East Asia’, Koreans are genetically closest to Japanese, followed by a larger margin by Northern Han on FST genetic distance measurements. Korea Foundation Associate Professor of History, Eugene Y. Park said that many Koreans seem to have a genealogical memory blackout before the twentieth century. North Korea and South Korea share a common heritage, but the political division since 1945 has resulted in some divergence of their modern cultures. The language of the Korean people is the Korean language, which uses Hangul as its main writing system.

In June 2012, South Korea’s population reached 50 million and by the end of 2016, South Korea’s population has surpassed 51 million people. Estimating the size, growth rate, sex ratio, and age structure of North Korea’s population has been extremely difficult. In 1989, the Central Bureau of Statistics released demographic data to the United Nations Population Fund in order to secure the UNFPA’s assistance in holding North Korea’s first nationwide census since the establishment of the state in 1948. 2017, excluding the undocumented and uncounted, roughly 1. Significant Korean populations are present in China, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, and Canada as well. Koreans in Germany used to outnumber those in the UK until the late 1990s.

In Australia, Korean Australians comprise a modest minority. Pak Noja said that there were 5,747 Japanese-Korean couples in Korea at the end of 1941. Pak Cheil estimated there to be 70,000 to 80,000 “semi-Koreans” in Japan in the years immediately after the war. Kopinos are people of mixed Filipino and Korean descent. The proliferation of Kopinos in the Philippines has been a source of controversy as many Kopinos are born to South Korean fathers who impregnate Filipino women and then abandon them. Lai Đại Hàn is a Vietnamese term referring to mixed children born to South Korean men and South Vietnamese women during the Vietnam War. These children were largely conceived as the result of wartime rape.

He also suggests that the arrival of Koreanic in Korea was associated with the spread of the Korean-style bronze dagger culture from present-day northeast China to Korea around 300 BCE. While pottery styles clearly differ between northeast China and the Korean Peninsula, an influx of northeast Chinese pottery styles into Korea has not been detected, and the styles of the two areas remain distinct long after the appearance of millet with little change in Chulmun pottery styles over time. Even if millet was brought by some migrants from northeast China to Korea, archaeological evidence demonstrates that the scale of migration was probably not large enough to lead to a fundamental linguistic change or the dispersal of a linguistic family.
