    Mitochondrial DNA shows us that the Japanese and the Chinese are two completely different races that have ended up in the same area:
    http://www.utexas.edu/features/2007/ancestry/graphics/ancestry5_medium.jpg shows the Japanese settling around 50,000 years ago and the Chinese settling 35,000 years ago. They look similar because that what happens when you live in the same area - a person from Lithuania and a person from Scotland will both develop a New Yorker's accent if they moved there. Same goes for physiological adaptations to the region over many generations.
