    3000 years ago, the mainland of the Chinese was filled with dense forests and very suitable environments for elephants, rhinoceros, anacondas, lizards, crocodiles. Ancients Chinese hunted elephants & rhinoceros, and wore handmade armor that made their bone, and have ancestral rites with human sacrifice after capturing whose neighboring tribes.

    There's a new genomics paper describing what it termed the Southern Chinese Cluster that comprises southern Han Chinese, Austronesians, Kra-Dai, and Hmong-mien. The paper Genomic Insights Into the Demographic History of the Southern Chinese published Jun2022 lines up with the leading research going back decades. But it also said that Austronesians are equally as close to Hmong-miens genetically as they are to Kra-Dai which lines up. These groups have the highest incidence of the MC1R gene (Neanderthal Origin ... MC1R in Modern Humans by Qiliang Ding et al. Fig. 3) which can be seen in their lips, nippls, hair, etc. If you look closely at their hair these groups commonly have a more reddish brown tone as compared to the jet black of other Asians and some of their facial hairs come out prominently red often. I remember my Cantonese classmates would get reddish hair in the summer, Hmong-miens are sometimes born blond and blondism also occurs in Filipinos. It's thought that Caucasian red and blond hair came about from Asians or from a common ancestor

    It would be interesting to know who and where the Yi 夷 were. The Classical Chinese meaning of this character is "barbarian", but originally it denotes an ethnicity living in the east of the Chinese realm, which might point to Shandong.
    Traditionally they are located in Shandong and the region between the lower Yellow river and the Yangtze delta (there are the southern Yi 南夷). Close to the sea they might have been seafaring.
    In Shang oracle bone inscriptions, the Yi are mentioned as human sacrifices very often (maybe as prisoners of war). The numbers are sometimes staggeringly high.
    The Shang were defeated by the Zhou (strangely called "western barbarians" 西夷 in the Bamboo Annals), while the Shang military was campaigning in the land of the Yi.
    I surmise that the Shang treatment of the Yi might might have bordered on overall genocide, but I am not sure about the archeological record regarding actual population decline.
    It is generally suggested that the Yi spoke a different language and were foreign to the Shang. They might have originated from a people coming from the lower Yangtze, as prehistoric Shandong cultures cultived rice.
    Moreover, according to Vovin (based on genetic evidence that links Yangtze people with modern populations in Japan and Korea), the Proto-Japonic languages might have spread from the lower Yangtze to Shandong, the Korean Peninsula and lastly Japan, as he links the spread of rice cultivation in that area with the Proto-Japonic or Proto-"Yayoi" culture.
    Therefore the Yi might have been close relatives or identical with the people that migrated to the Japanese islands in the Yayoi period.
    On the other hand, Shandong later became a center of Chinese culture with little to no remnants of the Yi.
    Confucius was born in the state Lu 魯國, which lies in modern Shandong (though more inland) and according to himself he was also a decendant of the Shang (who are said to have been widely exterminated by the Zhou).
    We can therefore say that in Zhou times, the real Yi in Shandong might already have been close to extinction.
    On the other hand it is also said that Taibo 泰伯/太伯, the great-uncle of the founder of the Zhou dynasty, king Wu of Zhou, let his younger brother reign over the Zhou as his father wanted and went south to the lower Yangtze to found the kingdom of Wu 吳.
    This might have been the place where the southern Yi (or Huai Yi) originally lived.
    Taibo also is said to have adopted the customs and haistyle of the local people, including tattoos and short (cut) hair (originally Chinese people, especially the aristocracy, wore long hair).
    Interestingly, these customs and other reasons lead Chinese scholars (beginning with the Tang dynasty) and later Japanese scholars (in the Edo period, notably Hayashi Razan) to believe that Taibo was the ancestor of the Japanese emperors.
    There are also some mentions of the Yi in Chinese mythology.
    Mengzi said that Shun 舜, one of the legendary sage kings most prominately revered in Confucianism, came from the Eastern Yi (東夷之人).
    The hero Houyi 后羿 is mentioned in the poem Tianwen 天問 (heavenly questions) and he also is said to originate from the Eastern Yi.
    This hero kills the god of the Yellow River, Hebo 河伯 (the god of the Yellow River civilization?, he is mentioned in oracle bone incriptions), marries his daughter and becomes king in China. He is potrayed as an enemy of the Xia dynasty and is later dethroned by the cunning schemes of an Yi woman (from another Yi tribe) named Chunhu 純狐, who could be seen as the origin of the Nine-taled fox myth in Chinese mythology
    (even though there are two different Houyis in Chinese mythology, this Houyi is also likely to be the husband of the moon goddess Chang'e 嫦娥).
    It is also interesting that Chinese proto-writing originates partly from the Dawenkou and Longshan sites in Shandong, which might suggest that the Yi were involved in the invention of the Chinese characters, even though the Jiahu characters found in Henan are much older. It may also be possible that they had their own set of logograms.
    Similar signs have been found in the Liangzhu culture close to the Yangtze delta. This also links Shandong to the cultures of the lower Yangtze.
    We see that the Yi as a people might have been very culturally significant to the early development of ancient China.
    Classical authors simply identify the character Yi 夷 with the eastern direction and therefore deny that the mentioned cultural heros were not Chinese.
    This is also important because the character denotes "barbarians" in Classical Chinese, and in Neo-Confucianism this word even can denote an existence below humanity and close to an animal.
    But these are likely later explanations.
    If we take all of this together, it is possible to reach the following conclusions:
    - In early times the Yi were a rival civilization to the sinitic Yellow-River civilization.
    - They likely originated from the lower Yangtze, cultivated rice and might have spoken a dialect close to the ancestor if Proto-Japonic
    - Beginning with the formation of the Shang dynasty (around 1600 BC) they were gradually conquered and colonized (sacrificed and genocided)
    - This and further developemnts lead to massive migrations to the Korean peninsula (Mumun people; beginning in 1500 BC) and later to the Japanese islands (Yayoi; beginning between 1000 and 600 BC)
    - After the fall of the Shang dynasty, Shang remnants (lead by Jizi, the uncle of the last Shang king) conquered Northern Korea and established Gojoseon.
    - This and further migrations by the Proto-Koreanic speakers lead to the Sino-Koreanic colonization of the Korean peninsula (this is very tentative), continued by the Han- and Tang-dynasties military presence in the region in later centuries.
    A lot of place names in Goguryeo (mentioned in the Samguk Sagi) point to a Japonic origin, which suggests that Japonic languages had been spoken in that area. Chinese sources also state that the languages of Goguryeo and Baekje were similar, while differing from the language of Silla which later would end up uniting Korea.
    The last remnant of the Japonic speaking people might have been the Gaya confederace, which had good relations with the Japanese court.
    This might explain why Empress Jingū (reigned 201-269) tried to conquer (or reconquer?) the Korean peninsula, creating a region called Mimana 任那 (which might be identical to the Gaya confederacy) and why the Japanese court was so infuriated about the joint conquest and unification of the Korean peninsula by the kingdom of Silla and the Tang dynasty.
    - This of course is heavily influenced by Vovins suggestions and doesn't take into account the possibilities of cultural mixing, creolization and a common origin of Japonic and Korean. I don't think that the present Yi people 彝族 (originally 夷) in Chinas far south (close to Yunnan) and South East Asia have any relation to the original Yi, as they were likely just called "barbarians" at that point. Still according to Suwa Haruo 諏訪春雄 among the Baiyue 百越 barbarians below the Yangtze, there were a people called Wo 倭, which might have a relation to the original Chinese name for the Japanese (also 倭 "small/dwarf", later changed to Wa 和 "harmony" in Japan). Even though some Japanese scholars are seriously searching for similarities between Chinese minorities below the Yangtze and early Japanese culture, these similarities could have only originated from the time of the Majiabang culture or a bit earlier (with both peoples sharing a common origin from the lower Yangtze) and are likely just genetic, or otherwise mostly superfluous.

      @@xXxSkyViperxXx Thank you for that hint.
      "The Dawenkou interacted extensively with the Yangshao culture. "For two and a half millennia of its existence the Dawenkou was, however, in a dynamic interchange with the Yangshao Culture, in which process of interaction it sometimes had the lead role, notably in generating Longshan." (Wikipedia)
      This really adds up to my thesis that the Yi (Dawenkou/Longshan) had an early rivalry with the Sinitic people (Yangshao culture). The character Houyi might be based on a really historical person from period in which the Dawenkou/longshan culture dominated the Yangshao culture.
      I also found this (it might not be scholarly, but I sounds rather... convincing...):
      "Dong-Yi Culture was the most advanced culture in Neolithic China
      (1) The writing system of Dong-Yi was one of the oldest writing systems in Neolithic
      China. It was an important source of the Shang Oracle bone script. Some of the
      characters,like ‘旦 [ sun and cloud motiff that you mentioned]、鉞 (钺) 、斤、皇、封、酒、拍、昃’ were still used in Chinese
      characters. The discovery of Changle Bone Inscriptions [昌樂骨刻文] which were found in Changle,
      Qingzhou, Shouguang, Huantai, Linzi and Zouping, belonged to Longshan culture
      and were regarded as recording characters in Neolithic China. They were about 1,000
      years earlier than Shang Oracle bone script.
      (2) Dong-Yi People were inventors of arrows. (Zuo Zhuan, Shuowen Jiezi had similar
      records about this).
      [...]"
      The Dong-Yi People as the "inventors of arrows" would add up to the Houyi story, as he is told to be a an excellent archer.
      The same "publication" also says
      "Confucius (551BCE-479BCE), an offspring of the Shang Emperors, who were offspring of the Dong-Yi People, had clear Caucasoid racial characteristics."
      which is completely wrong.
      But I actually have a Chinese friend who believes in the theory that the Shang descend from the Dong-Yi. This theory just fits nicely into the worldview that the true Chinese people (the Zhou) never did any human sacrifices and are mostly irreligious. But this theory has nothing to do with the archeological evidence. The Shang and the Zhou both likely were very similar in culture and genetics, while the Dong-Yi were very different.
      Still, you find that theory all over the place, even on Chinese Wikipedia (with no credible sources).
      The main point of argument is apparently that the early Shang were heavily influenced by the Yueshi culture. Further, the Shang are portrayed as a confederation of Dong-Yi tribes. I find this very confusing, given the evidence that the Shang likely were the arch-nemesis of the Dong-Yi.
      One scholar (张国硕 Zhang Guoying) speaks of a Shang-Yi alliance to overthrow the earlier Xia dynasty. This might make some sense, but is also is mostly based on later historical evidence. What I like is that he is sure to differentiate the Shang and the Dong-Yi, while he also explains that Yi 夷 as well as Yin 殷 (a name for the Shang) could mean "east" from the viewpoint of the Xia, which makes sense (geographically). I think that this is the main reason why they got wrongly identified with each other.
      The Yueshi culture is often identified with the easter Yi. It likely got replaced by the Erligang (Shang) culture. It is very much possible that there was some kind of war going on. Cohen, on the other hand, argues that the Yueshi culture still continued until the upper Erligang period (until the 13th century BC).
      I also found this in a review article:
      "Whereas Dawenkou- and Longshan-period finds all over Shandong reflect a high level of social complexity, the area subsequently experienced stagnation or decline during the early Bronze Age, when it be came the core area of the Yueshi culture." (The Chinese Neolithic: Trajectories to Early States by Li Liu)
      We even have a historcial document that describes a Shang campaign against the Yi (though a bit late, from the 11th century BC):
      "In the early 11th century BC, oracle bone inscriptions refer to campaigns by the late Shang king Di Yi against the Rénfāng (人方), a group occupying the area of southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu. Scholars often identify the Renfang with the Dongyi ("Eastern barbarians") mentioned in later Zhou dynasty documents, and thus many Chinese archaeologists apply the historical name "Dongyi" to the archaeological Yueshi culture." (Wikipedia)
      I also have to correct one thing:
      During the Spring and Autumn period there still existed some Yi states in Shangdong, though they likely were heavily sinicized (there also still existed some stateless "barbarians" in Shandong; there were also the Huai Yi 淮夷 near the Huai river). Notable are the states Lai and Ju (the last of which at one point bordered Lu). At this point, it might have already been difficult to differentiate between Chinese and Yi, but the word was frequently used to insult a political opponent as a barbarian.
      Confucius (or rather the author of the Spring and Autumn Annals) used this the term already in a rather universal way to denote a barbarian instead of a certain ethnicity, suggesting that a Chinese person that behaves immorally (contrary to the rites, 非禮) turns into a barbarian.
      But Confucius in one of his darkest hours even said that he would prefer to go to the Nine Yi (九夷) instead of staying in China, saying that the real "barbarians" might not be as morally corrupt as the Chinese were at his time (this was later used by actual foreign people that invaded China to legitimize their rule over China. The Japanese scholar Itō Jinsai also stated that the Yi in this passage can denote Japan).
      I think that it is this period in which the myth of Chiyou 蚩尤 originated, the leader of the Yi and the enemy of the Yellow emperor (the mythical founder of China). He might have been based on a historical person, the last Yi rebel against Chinese dominance.
      All of the land of the remaining Yi was conquered by the state of Qi, which is known for its cruelty. Starting with the unification by the Qin dynasty, I guess the Yi as an ethnicity had been wiped out.

    I agree with the comments pointing out the similarities between Austronesian-like Dawenkou and proto-Japonics and them possibly being ancestral to one another. I also thought about how Hemudu had sun worship and that Dawenkou had the sun and moon on their pottery. The Japanese imperial clans are said to have descended from the sun goddess Amaterasu and Austronesians have a strong matriarchal bent to their culture. The proto-Japanese word for fire and sun also matches Austronesian. The Japanese have a sun on their flag and are the "land of the rising sun" and Philippines has a sun on their flag and "child of the sun returning" and "land of the morning" is in their national anthem. The Ise Shrine dedicated to Amaterasu matches Austronesian architecture. The mtdna haplogroups of Austro-Tais and Japanese have interesting overlaps as well. There are many more similarities researchers have found

      They also noticeably exhibited behaviors associated with the "southern barbarians" like the Austro-Tai hanging cliff and boat-shaped coffin and haniwa burial customs, and teeth blackening or what they call 'ohaguro'. These were traditions even practiced by elites, geisha, and samurai sometimes exclusively so. Han Chinese looked down upon such traditions

      Also another matriarchal trait, according to CNN, female rulers were common in ancient Japan. Women "who were buried alongside iron weapons and tools, were competent political, military and religious leaders. Tombs for male chieftains only began appearing in the fifth century"

      @Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation yes but I also greatly appreciate all the nuance which Asia has a fcuk ton of and humanity in general; it's what makes us powerful. I think Han Chinese mostly had its beginnings in Longshan? Which I find interesting

      Dawenkou is likely where the Jiulli a Dongyi tribe descended from, but they were eventually subjugated by the Sinitic speaking tribe Yanhuang in the Longshan period. There was like a war happening which is why you see rammed earth structures from these cultures.

      ≪수서≫에 고죽국이 기자조선이 되었다는 내용이 있는데 고죽국이 멸망한지 천년이나 지난 뒤에 처음 언급되는 거라 신빙성은 많이 떨어진다고 봅니다. 고고학적으로도 초기 고조선은 차오양~랴오양 일대에 위치했었고 고죽국은 연나라한테 패망했다는 기록이 더 앞서니까요.
      또한 ≪수서≫가 당나라 초에 쓰여졌다는 걸 봤을때 당의 고구려 정벌을 정당화하기 위해 넣은 내용일 가능성도 고려해야 한다고 생각합니다.
