First I want to thank you all for the support and the 100 subs! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰ I took the feedback on my last video in consideration and did some last-minute changes in the video (hope it doesn’t affect the flow of it too much). Since some people have trouble understanding me because of my accent the videos now have manual subtitles as well, so feel free to turn them on. Images at 02:34, 02:39, 05:56, 11:41, 11:45, 16:48, 17:24 are merely illustrative. 08:21 - These are Dugout canoes at Kierikki Stone Age Centre, Yli-Ii, Oulu. It was the only image of old boats I could find, and it is on the video as a mere example. 12:23 - 12:30 - Actually the first image is an Ancient North Eurasian and the second an Ancient Northern East Asian (ANEA). Please kindly ignore them and just attend to the explanation instead. I struggled really hard on this part and it crossed my mind way too late I could simply not use images.
9:02 is it certain that the Kuroshio current would have already been a significant challenge to rafting during a time that the sea levels where much lower?
That is an interesting question. I assumed that if the study counted the Kuroshio current as a variant, then that meant that it was a factor even back then. But I did some further investigation. Kuroshio's current is very very old. The Kuroshio Current seems to have reached its present latitude (35 °N) by ~3 Ma (which is way before humanity reached the island of Japan). Ocean modeling and geochemical proxies suggest that the Kuroshio Current path may have been similar during glacials and interglacials, although this is not presented as a fact, but rather as a hypothesis. Also, the interglacial/glacial cycles (~1 Ma) seem to have been associated with increased Kuroshio Current intensity. So long story short, it seems possible Kuroshio current had an influence back then.

Very interesting, thank you 🙂
Your style is very unique. Good videos .
Thanks for clarifying, really interesting stuff!
