"Japanese people are homogeneous." "Japanese people want pure blood." These are all big lies invented by vulgar Westerners to make Japanese people out to be racists. This is probably a self-portrait of Anglo-Saxons, like white Americans and British people, who were once obsessed with eugenics just like the Nazis. They projected their own flaws onto the Japanese. The Japanese themselves don't claim this.
¿Red Ainu? They should have met the Russians for the first time before even becoming a Republic in 1917. In the Meiji Restoration probably, and in that time there was no communist Russia or something. That myth is probably just that
No-no, I'm talking about red hair:) In Russian it's different words: krasnyi (red) and ryzhij (close in meaning to orange/for example red hair), but Google translates so.
@@gorzux2829 I doubt that the "red" designation was due to the Russians being Communists. It was probably because of the "ruddy" complexion (red faced western eurasian character) of the Russians. ..then again, I don't know when the Japanese first saw these "red" Russians. Maxim (Максим), do you know when the designation "Red Ainu" was first noted?
Japanese American here. Great Great grandparents moved from Japan to Hawaii in the 1890's. We did some DNA test and our results showed Far East Russian/Siberia, mostly Japanese, some Korean, and some mixture of Polynesian/Hawaiian due to the move to Hawaii as my family is "hapa"

Total of 207,183 Taiwanese served in the military of Imperial Japan. The Chinese Nationalist Party, its officers and approximately 2 million troops took part in the Great retreat to Taiwan; in addition to many civilians and refugees, fleeing from the advances of the Communist PLA. Nowadays, according to government figures, over 95% of Taiwan's population of 23.4 million consists of Han Chinese.
It is interesting that in Kyushu there are a range of Japanese people who have different facial features and some dialects that are almost unintelligible to those who only know the Edo dialect (modern standard Japanese). In Nagasaki the locals have a very Chinese facial feature whereas southern prefectures they have a much more Austronesian facial features (especially in Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Kagoshima).
in japanese culture and japanese inspired culture. i see sekiro's dad. sometimes in yakuza series side characters and others have that austronesian features. must be something. i might be wrong here. sorry for disappointing examples here.
In Kyushu, there were known non-Yamato ethnic groups that were conquered by the Yamato king. They were called "Kumaso (熊襲)", "Hayato(隼人)", and "Tsuchigumo (土蜘蛛)". They had different languages and physical characteristics. For example, Tsuchigumo people are said to have had longer limbs. Prolly they were Austronesian.
Recent genome studies have confirmed now. The Jomon are not related to Australo-Melanesians or Africans. They are closest to Eurasian populations (basal branch). The Jomon cluster is distinct from all others, but relative closer to (Basal) East Asians. Autosomes and nucleus DNA confirm their unique position. Following studies can further help to understand the population history of Eurasia.
That does not make any sense. Austro-Melanesians are part of the Eurasian branch. Within that branch, they group together with asians, excluding caucasians. www.nature.com/articles/srep29890 How could the jomon not be related to Austro-Melanesians, but be closest to eurasian populations?
@@ali40589 Is that your personal opinion, or is it based on evolutionary history? The link I posted above contains a tree showing the order of divergence for most human populations.

And second they are the remnants of first group of people that migrated out of Africa, at that time they were migrating the ancestors of all Eurasian, (Western and Eastern Eurasians) are probably still in Africa.
@@ali40589 That is your opinion. Mtdna shows that Austro-Melanesians and all other Eurasians descend from L3. Additionally, they all descend from subranches of L3 that diversified near India. This means they came from the same wave out of Africa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mitochondrial_DNA_haplogroup#/media/File:Human_migrations_and_mitochondrial_haplogroups.PNG Y-dna tells a similar story, with austro-melanesians and asians grouping together. www.pnas.org/content/104/21/8726
Hoàng Kim Việt - Correct. The Ainu people of Japan are from Panopolis called Khemmis too They are Y DNA D-M174 from Khemenu to Elephantine Hamites who are Khemites.

Quinten Whyte ( Im putting this everywhere to educate people on Ainus ) I’m partially Ainu, partially Polynesian, and partially Chukchi (Chukotkan-Kamchadal of Siberian Far East) There is an even toss up between Ainus being either from haplogroup C (Australian aborigine) or from haplogroup D (the first people out of Africa to settle Asia) For those of you wondering about the cultural similarities between North American Eskimos and Ainus: (keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are part of the Eskimo ethnic and cultural family) The Ainu language is a Paleo-Siberian language. A couple of other Siberian tribes who speak a Paleo-Siberian language include: Koryaks, Chukchis, and Itelmen (just to name a few) Languages in the Paleo-Siberian linguistic family very similar to Eskimo-aleut languages. However, they are classified as different families due to structure. All Siberian tribes that speak a language from the Paleo-Siberian family tend to be indigenous to either Chukotka, or the Kamchatka peninsula. The indigenous people of Chukotka and Kamchatka are all ethnically and culturally related. (If not, the same) They are what we would call “Chukotkan-Kamchadals” and Chukotkan-Kamchadals, are a part of the general ethno-cultural group we call “Eskimo” which is why there are big similarities between North American eskimos and Chukotkan-Kamchadals. They are both “Eskimo” However, Ainus are not ethnically related to Chukotkan-Kamchadals or North American eskimos. The reason that Ainu people speak a paleo-Siberian language is because of how close the Ainu live to other Paleo-Siberian speaking groups. (Ainus, geographically, are classified as inhabitants of Siberia, after all) This leads us into the next segment: Culture: Ainu people’s traditional music is the same as general Siberian traditional music. They use a jaw-harp, and Ainu melodies sound very similar to Siberian melodies (or more specifically Chukotkan-Kamchadal ones) All of the cultural and linguistic similarities between Chukotkan-Kamchadals, and Ainus are from how close they are to each other. There obviously would have been great linguistic and cultural influence. PLEASE READ THIS, AS BACKGROUND INFO ON SIBERIANS, CHUKOTKAN-KAMCHADALS AND ESKIMOS: Keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadal culture is similar to that of Siberian Turkic culture (Yakut, Evens, etc) Chukotkan-Kamchadals culture is the midpoint between Turkic Siberian and North American Eskimo culture. ( _keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are Eskimo, ethnically and culturally wise. However, I will continue to refer to them as Chukotkan-Kamchadals to avoid confusion._ ) ON THE TOPIC OF LIGHT HAIR AND EYES: I am not white by any means. However, my eye color is olive and my hair is auburn/ginger. (My hair is dyed in my prof pic and I have contact lenses in) This is a genetic mutation. People can have genetic mutations that give them light hair and eyes, but not have even a drop of European blood. Ainus can have blue eyes, but this by no means makes them white. Let’s look at the Solomon Islanders: The Solomon Islands are in Melanesia. 60,000 to 100,000 years ago, Africans set sail and became the first people to settle the Melanesian islands. Melanesians are basically African (black) and their haplogroups line up with that conclusion. Either way, melanesians being from Sub-Saharan Africa is a fact. People from the Solomon Islands may inherit a genetic mutation that gives them blonde hair and blue eyes. _This does not make them white, nor does it mean that they are partially white._ I brought this up to show us that you do not have to be white to have these types of features. Asia and genetic mutations: It is a common occurrence that once in a while in Central Asia, a person will be born with either green or blue eyes, or maybe auburn or red hair. The same goes for Siberia. GENETIC MUTATIONS HAPPEN. They just do. It means nothing about race. Bottom line: The genetic mutations causing light hair and eyes in non-white people, is a completely different gene than the one that is passed on through white people that can lead to blonde hair and blue eyes etc. Eye and hair color does not indicate the racial identity of a certain ethnic group. *_JUST BECAUSE A COUPLE MONGOLIANS HAVE RED HAIR AND GREEN EYES, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE SECRETLY WHITE. NOR DOES IT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE RACE OF THE PEOPLE. IF THEY ARE ASIAN THEY ARE ASIAN. HAIR AND EYES COLOR DOESNT CHANGE THAT._* Genghis Khan having red hair and green eyes, does not mean he was white. whatsoever. Plus, it probably was more of a tint, than full on red and green. Ainus having blue eyes does not prove that they are “secretly white” In addition, there is plenty of haplogroup evidence to back up that they are not descendants of Europeans or white. Thank youuu :) Edit: another argument for Ainus being white are the fact that some Ainus can be lighter skinned. Pure Ainus can range from tan to light. While pure Ainus are usually mostly tan, they can still be very pale. This is due to the fact that Ainus are geographically siberians. In Siberia, people _can_ be very tan (the sun actually is pretty prominent in the summer. And in winter, light bounces off of the snow) however, most siberians are light skinned due to the fact that they need to absorb more vitamin D from the atmosphere. Again, light skin does not prove race. It is a environmental adaptation.

Ryukyuan (Okinawan) here. I too, am interested to hear more. I know personally, I have a mix of native Ryukyuan (high level of jomon/austronesian ancestry most likely. Similar phenotype, hairy and all that) and Han Chinese who began to inhabit Okinawa in the 13th century, forming a scholar-bureaucrat aristocratoc class that developed the art of Karate. Of course, when Japan took over, a lot of our history, culture, and language was supressed, sadly.
@@nicholasjohnson91That sounds very interesting. I hope that one day Okinawan history will finally be brought to light.

While growing up, my mom would refer to being Uchinanchu. She spoke her dialect with her brothers and sisters, half of whom had stronger facial features than the others. I would love to learn more about the Uchinanchu people.
Even though I've never been anywhere in Japan or East Asia, and I've just read about those parts, I love Hokkaido. It's quite similar in climate and many other physical aspects to New England, Upstate New York, and adjacent portions of Canada (e.g. Montreal, where I live). It's way less crowded than the rest of Japan, and the original ethnic stock (Ainu) is much different from much of the rest of Japan. Don't get me wrong, I love Japanese culture as a whole and I love the rest of Japan, but Hokkaido is something else.
Because of the ocean currents, East Asia's climate is pretty similar to North America's east coast at the same latitudes. Tokyo is at about the latitude of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sapporo is about level with Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Southern Kyushu is about level with Charleston, South Carolina. This is why Japan, Korea, and China have such humid summers compared with the relatively dry summers in the western USA.
Vermont here, Also, on the other end of the world, southern New Zealand is at 45 south which matches the N45 parallel going through Swanton, VT just south of QC where you are. In fact there was an incident a couple years ago where there was so much snow in southern NZ that the roof of the local auditorium collapsed which sounds like something that would happen to us up here in QC/VT.
Funny enough, the Ainu didnt even settle into Hokkaido until the 13th century when they were separated from the original Emishi in the tohoku region. Hell, they didnt even call themselves “Ainu” until then.
If you do get a chance to visit Hokkaido, definitely go see Upopoy Ainu Culture Museum and Park! It's brand new but hasn't seen many visitors because of the pandemic.
You can't get accurate information from a video. The origins of people is always controversial and you can't expect to get the information from a video which even don't have listed reference. I don't know if other information is accurate but one thing for sure, cantonese people are never just as.. people adopted Chinese culture. They have as.. mix with han people.
Ryukyuans still think of themselves as ethnically distinct. My mom, who was born and raised in Okinawa, didn't forget to teach me and my siblings that. Genetic studies also suggest that Ryukyuans have more Jomon extraction. I myself share many features with the Ainu, namely body and facial hair.
A lot of ur info about the Jomon/Ainu is wrong. They weren't taller and lighter than the Yayoi; in fact, the opposite was true. They were darker and shorter.
Yes. That explains the main physical difference between the Koreans and the Japanese. Quite similar looking but the Japanese are shorter overall, the Ainu input most likely. Don't know about darker. I don't think Ainu were that much darker to make a significant difference. Japanese spoken language is very similar to Korean which is very similar to Mongolian. Koreans are a mix btwn northern Mongol/Altaic input and the South East Asian input from Indian regions. Japanese are mostly ancient and modern Koreans. Just like the Anglo-Saxons who replaced the original Druid inhabitants by multiple migrations from the Viking regions of the North, there are records of continual movement of ppl from the Korean peninsula throughout history to the Japanese isles, mostly ppl who were fleeing the peninsula after their kingdoms were over thrown. There are still towns of ppl made of descendants of the Goguryeo, and Baekjae, the two kingdoms in Korea that were defeated by the kingdom of Shilla. Older Ainu inhabitants of South East Asian origin, apparently share the same fate as the Druids. They were replaced by disease, battle, colonization and assimilation. Their modern estimate according to Wiki is 25K to 200K(assumed)
@@jacobh9487 In old Japanese paintings, the Emishi/Ainu were consistently depicted as dark and hairy, several shades darker than the Japanese themselves, so that tells you something about their skin color. And also Koreans don't have significant SE Asian or Indian admixture. Overall both the Koreans and the Japanese are fairly northern, more northern than the Chinese. The closest East Asian population to SE Asians is the South Chinese.
The ainu were taller and hairier. Ppl from Taiwan moved throughout the mainland and some ended up in Japan. He didn't really talk about Okinawans. They're beautiful ppl.
The people called the Yamato people are a mixed race of the indigenous Jomon people who came to the Japanese archipelago about 38,000 years ago and the Yangtze people (South China), an agricultural people who came to Japan about 5,000 years ago. After that, about 1500 years ago, when Baekje on the Korean Peninsula was about to be destroyed, a large number of Han refugees came in and mixed blood to form the current Japanese.

Japanese hate to admit the Yayoi came from Korea, and insist they some how came from China. NOT possible. people did not have navigational skill to jump from China to Japan over open sea back then. They had to go through Korean peninsula and cross into Japanese Islands via narrow straight. massive immigration of Southern Chinese into Japan, without going through alread heavily populated Korean peninsula is just simply not possible.
Yayoi came from southeastern China. Than they lived on southern part of "korean" peninsular. Than proto-Koreans from Manchuria invaded them and most proto-Japanese migrated to Japan. But some stayed. They are named "Peninsular-Japonic". Many recent studies say Pre-Baekje, Pre-Silla, Gaya and Tamna was Peninsular-Japonic before the Koreans came. So Yayoi can not be ethnic Koreans, as Koreans were located in Manchuria during the Yayoi Invasion of Japan.
@@Kenny-fh3om They came from Korea , not wrong but needs to be corrected. Direction wise its true but ethnicity at the time is different from those who are now living in Korea.
@soji okita clearly, there were people in Japan before Far East Asian looking people came over from Korean Peninsula. These people came into Japan during the ice age when there was land bridge between Japan and Okinawa, Taiwan, all the way to Philipins and beyond. they look totally different from Far East Asians. Most of thse "Native" Japanese were killed off, and what remains were intermarried. That's why today's Japanese look like Far East Asian, and Not like South East Asians or Austronesians. Obviously there are some Japanese who have these Austronesian features, but most Japanese look like Chinese/Korean/Mongolian.

Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of the perjury, calumny, and fraud rates in S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.

All the latest genetic studies have eliminated any possible Andamanese connection. If you look at these two ethnic groups it's not hard to see why there must have been a huge error in the original data.
Which ethnic group do you believe is older? The Andamanese have been referred to as the children of Adam. They have no genetic admixture; 100% homosapien -sapien; or wise man..im an etymology geek.
The majority of modern Japanese has ancestry from the Yayoi People (average 90%). (range from 80 to 100%). Yayoi People were present on parts of the Korean peninsula since about 1500 BCE, before they either lived in southeastern China (possibly the Wu state) or around the Yan state. The Yayoi were not related to the proto-Koreans who arrived from Korea in the southern Korean peninsula at around 300 BCE causing the Yayoi Migration/Invasion in Japan.
The first Japanese known as Jomonjin (Jomon people) were in fact two tribes. One proto-Mongoloid and one Caucasoid group. They mixed more than 10,000 years ago. Thus Jōmon show connections to both Mongoloids and Caucasoids.
Do you have any documentation? When Japanese do genetic testing it as an overwhelming whole show basically no 'Caucasoid' ancestry. Can you share more on this?
@@AdNG1 Because only Jomon people in the North had Caucasoid ancestry. And those Jomon people were only 15% Caucasoid. Japanese people are 12% Jomon on average. This means a Japanese person is 1.8% Caucasoid on average if all of his or her Jomon ancestry is from the North. But the problem is that there's no Japanese people all of whose Jomon ancestry is from the North except for some Ainu people. The non-Ainu Japanese ancestors of all non-Ainu Japanese people in Hokkaido or Tohoku originally came from other regions pretty recently. So the only Japanese people whose DNA results would show statistically significant amounts of Caucasoid ancestry are Ainu Japanese people, which I'm pretty sure none of the Japanese people you saw show their DNA results are.
Very interesting. I had a Japanese restaurant in my UWS neighborhood which’s name was Riyku. Could this refer to that area of the Japanese archipelago that you outlined? The food was amazing there.

In this video no mention was made of the possible Japanese - Hungarian connection. The Grammatical structure of Japanese is fundamentally identical with the Uralic Languages. Hungarian belongs to this group as a language. There are numerous Japanese words which acquaint with hungarian eg. cho - Snow Tabi - eat nourish, sui - sour, hon - country etc, Hungarian sounds or words may sound japanese but their meaning is different. A similar religious aspect may also interest readers of this column. According to Japanese beliefs the Sun is a Japanese God and similarly in ancient Hungarian the Sun was also revered as God. According to Professor Mitsuo Matsumoto of Asaka, the closest relatives to the Hungarians are the Japanese.
Japanese words and names are very similar and sometimes exactly the same as Luganda words (from Uganda) and the neighbouring Bantu language words. For example names like Kato (Kato is a name given to the male twin born last in luganda), Kagawa (we have Nagawa and Kagwa), Jinja which is a shrine in Japanese means "stone" in luganda, "iiyee" means "no" in Japanese but "iiyee" means "yes" in Luganda. Kyoto means a fire place in Luganda etc
Okinawa or Osaka. Okinawan/Ryukyuan people are the closest population to Ainu. And after WWII, many Ryukyuans went to Osaka to find work. Google Ken Hirai, and Kenji Honnami. Both of them are from Osaka.
Recent Nature publications point to the Liao river (North eastern LiaoNing province in China) millet farmers of 9000 years ago being the original people who developed all the Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Mongolian language.
It's amazing how climate and environment radically change the physical characteristics of ethnic groups... Who'd imagine the Andamanese, The Tibetan, and the Ainu are genetically related?
There's a lot of conflicting information regarding the (pure/original) Ainu. Some people argue that they're Caucasoid but some say they're Australoid (and some say that the Australoid are actually a branch of the Caucasoid group). However, a lot of modern research has shown that they're closely related to the Mongoloid groups.
That has been solved, Jomon were mostly modern East Asian ("Mongoloid") but they carried an important percentage of Ancient North Eurasian from Siberia, Ancient North Eurasian was 70% Gravettian (European) but also 30% Early East Asian and by Early East Asian I mean people more related to Papuans, Melanesians, Aeta/Negritos and Australasians, also Gravettian Europeans looked different than Europeans today, they leaned towards looking a bit more Australoid hence the confusion, also these Basal East Asians diverged into the modern East Asians we see today that's why Basal and Modern populations related genetically can cause this type of confusion.
@@karinano1stan In the sense that they all have haplogroup D, but they're genetically very different from the Ainu. The Ainu are much closer to Japanese than to Tibetans.
Gotta be a Mongolian connection to the Yamato. Look at many of the Mongolian sumo stars in Japan such as Hakuho. They are indistinguishable from Japanese. Besides, they easily learn Japanese like Dutch and Scandinavians pick up English.
That's because they have common ancestors. But that doesn't make it correct to say Japanese have "Mongolian ancestors" because the ancestors that Japanese share with Mongolians weren't "Mongolians."
This video is important since many of Japan-related videos completely ignore how Japan started. Japan was formed when Yayoi that were ancient Chinese at one point merged with Jamon who were earlier settlers. Chinese nationalist loves to say "They have stolen from us.." when Japan simply have 60% of its ancestral root in ancient China. Funny thing is, modern Chinese are barely related with ethnic group of ancient Chinese civilization. Not even racially connected for Yin. They are a group of people who invaded, killed and expelled ancient Chinese.
Your statement isn't based on academic researches though. Yayoi were thought to be a group of Japonic speaker and their closest ethnicity was ancient Korean, not Chinese. Japanese and Korean share Y-haplogroup O1b2, which is rarely seen among Chinese.
Japan formed with the arrival of the recent East Asian related migrants, but modern Japanese are Ainu mixed with East Asians. Japanese are NOT Chinese. If a half Black half Japanese existed, you would not be calling that thing a Japanese person. 😊
How different are the people of Western Japan and Kyushu from the people of Eastern Honshu? How much did the European influx in the 16th century affect the genetics of Japanese.

It always instructive and entertaining to watch your videos Masaman! If you are looking for new ideas, may I suggest a video about the Berber people. In my opinion their history gets less attention than the Roman conquest of North Africa and later the Arab conquest. In fact many Tunisians like myself are/were unaware of their Berber origin and consider themselves as Arab primarily because the Tunisian language is an Arab language.

The “first Japanese”, known as Jomon had multiple origins, but most came from Siberia (southern Siberia). They were likely connected with European hunter gatherers which where also found in parts of Siberia. Modern Ainu still show relative closer relation to Siberians than to any other group.
They were connected with Ancient North Eurasians (ANE) from the Rhinoceros Horn Site of Siberia, the ANE were different from Hunter Gatherers in that they mastered the hunt of the Wooly Mammoth and could keep a lifestyle very different from European Hunter Gatherers. The ANE took East Asian wives and populated the Americas but they also went west, mixed with European Hunter Gatherers and birthed the Eastern Hunter Gatherer, that's when Blonde Hair started being selected in Europe. ANE was patriarchal and very militaristic like and conflictive making blades for spears, I'm sure their interactions with East Asians in Japan were not friendly until they settled completely in Hokkaido.

C1a1 - original settlers of Southern half of Japan (seems to be related with C1a-haplogroupped Sungir' culture of West Russia ~30K years BP, which means they were original North Eurasian inhabitants; another possibility could be related with Australian-Oceanian original population, however currently they show C1* and C1b only), 2. D1b (major) + C2a (minor) haplogroups = Ainus (probably came from North via Sakhalin island) 3. O2b (major) + O3 (minor) haplogroups = former inhabitants of Korea & Manchuria (they differ from current Koreans and Manchu by absense of additional waves of O3 and C2a migrants into these regions).
The connection between Korean and Japanese is almost certain. Like Japanese, the Korean language is suspected of originating from the Dravidian language family of southern India or the Austronesian language family. Although Japanese and Korean are different languages, no one can deny the fact that they are the two most similar languages on Earth.

Korean and Japanese are only similar by Grammar, but I wouldn’t say they are the most similar than any language, both Chinese and Korean are similar to Japanese and some Austronesian language are also similar to Japanese. But as Korean, after I hear that Korean language originating from Dravidian language, I searched about Dravidian language, only some word sound like Korean, but the grammar system or the spelling are not really identical to Korean.
The ancestors of the Ainu are the Jōmon people, the natives of Japan. They had multiple origins. Some East Asian, Central Asian and West Eurasian. Ainu preserved West Eurasian phenotypes from one of their ancestors, which were related to paleolithic Europeans. So in other words they were predominantly Caucasoid. A Caucasoid-related component is found in modern Ainu, and in very minor percentage also in Japanese, Native Taiwanese and Ulchi of Siberia.
I mean I see that many Japanese people have very bony noses and body hair. But this is probably due to them being related to a Eurasian ancestor,not so much as a Caucasian ancestor.
Japanese are 96,7% Yayoi (East Asian). Jōmon may be related to Europeans, but they are extinct nearly today. Most Ainu even have mostly East Asian ancestry today.
To be specific, they were originally the Emishi from the tohoku region that separated in the 13th century. They only came to be known as “Ainu” after they settled into Hokkaido later on.
I am Japanese. Japanese people have very different faces, so the biggest identity for Japanese people is "language". A person who speaks fluent Japanese is considered "Japanese". A person whose father and mother are Japanese but cannot speak Japanese is not considered Japanese. During World War II, when the Japanese army took control of Southeast Asia, Japan built schools there, taught Japanese, and gave them Japanese names. In Manchukuo, which was created by the Japanese army, Chinese, Russians, Koreans, Mongolians, and Manchus coexisted in addition to the Japanese. The myth that "the Japanese are pedigreeists" is a hoax created by the Western media. It's the Westerners' own fault. The Japanese have little resistance to mixed races.
all of ryukyuan and yamato japanese have austronesian influence. some even say that they are related to austronesian and call it "para-Austronesian". Currently we know that Austronesian tribes lived in parts of southern Japan (Kyushu and Shikoku) and this tribes joined the Yamato people.
@@janettaschuch3591 Yes just a lot more transhumanism going on in ten years, you know those touch screens you could implant in your for arm, imagine that times 100. 🙃
The Jōmon population during the Jōmon period in Japan is a mix of proto-Mongoloid and Caucasoid groups. The Yayoi population is Mongoloid from mainland East Asia. The Yayoi are the early Japonic speakers. Modern Japanese are primarily descendants of the Yayoi. Jōmon admixture is very minor. The Jōmon exhibited paternal haplogroups D-M55, C1a1 and C2. D-M55 is only found in Japan, C1a1 also only in Japan (C1a2 is found in Europeans and Arabs (minor)), and C2 is common in Siberia and Japan. The Yayoi exhibit O1, O1b2, and O2, which are common in all East Asia, Southeast Asia and some other areas. For further information please see Japanese history textbook or online library, Tokyo national museum, Tokyo University, Kyoto university, Osaka, Sapporo, and other scientific journals.
Very wrong troll, there are no anthropologic or genetic studies the support your claims. Jōmon were not Australoid and Japanese have no Australoid DNA. There is also no Australoid admixture in other Asians. Only some Southeast Asians and Polynesians have admixture. But in Southeast Asia not more than 5 to 10% and Polynesians have not more than 20%. Some even have zero. Again, get some facts.
3:03 On the left: Jomon face (indigenous Jomon-era people who lived in the islands of Japan, not Siberia), on the right: Yayoi face = typical person immigrated from the continent. In modern Japan, you see people with the Jomon face, those with the Yayoi face and those with mixed face.
There is a theory that the native language of Guarani might have some connection to Japan, Australia or Siberia. Thats what this famous Paraguayan writer said - ruclips.net/video/5hF41v8GKr4/видео.htmlm37s
Japanese are the ones who propagated this false narative that Ainu are some how Caucasoid. Ainu ARE NOT white people. If you look at old Japanese paintings done 300 years or older, Ainu are always depicted as dark skined short and hairy people, in contrast to Japanese. Also Japanese insist that Ainu came down from Siberia into Northern Japanese island, which is a lie. Ainu occupied Japanese island, and only pushed North by the Modern Japanese immigration. Ainu people entered Japanese Islands from the South, during the ice age when there was landbridge between Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Philippine, all the way down to Austaralia.

Recent genome studies have confirmed now. The Jomon are not related to Australo-Melanesians or Africans. They are closest to Eurasian populations (basal branch). The Jomon cluster is distinct from all others, but relative closer to (Basal) East Asians.
Autosomes and nucleus DNA confirm their unique position. Following studies can further help to understand the population history of Eurasia.
That does not make any sense. Austro-Melanesians are part of the Eurasian branch. Within that branch, they group together with asians, excluding caucasians.

"The Ethnic Origin of the Japenese"
George Takei: "Oooooooh, My!"
Quinten Whyte ( Im putting this everywhere to educate people on Ainus )
I’m partially Ainu, partially Polynesian, and partially Chukchi (Chukotkan-Kamchadal of Siberian Far East) There is an even toss up between Ainus being either from haplogroup C (Australian aborigine) or from haplogroup D (the first people out of Africa to settle Asia)
For those of you wondering about the cultural similarities between North American Eskimos and Ainus:
(keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are part of the Eskimo ethnic and cultural family)
The Ainu language is a Paleo-Siberian language. A couple of other Siberian tribes who speak a Paleo-Siberian language include: Koryaks, Chukchis, and Itelmen (just to name a few) Languages in the Paleo-Siberian linguistic family very similar to Eskimo-aleut languages. However, they are classified as different families due to structure.
All Siberian tribes that speak a language from the Paleo-Siberian family tend to be indigenous to either Chukotka, or the Kamchatka peninsula. The indigenous people of Chukotka and Kamchatka are all ethnically and culturally related. (If not, the same) They are what we would call “Chukotkan-Kamchadals” and Chukotkan-Kamchadals, are a part of the general ethno-cultural group we call “Eskimo” which is why there are big similarities between North American eskimos and Chukotkan-Kamchadals. They are both “Eskimo”
However, Ainus are not ethnically related to Chukotkan-Kamchadals or North American eskimos. The reason that Ainu people speak a paleo-Siberian language is because of how close the Ainu live to other Paleo-Siberian speaking groups. (Ainus, geographically, are classified as inhabitants of Siberia, after all) This leads us into the next segment:
Culture:
Ainu people’s traditional music is the same as general Siberian traditional music. They use a jaw-harp, and Ainu melodies sound very similar to Siberian melodies (or more specifically Chukotkan-Kamchadal ones)
All of the cultural and linguistic similarities between Chukotkan-Kamchadals, and Ainus are from how close they are to each other. There obviously would have been great linguistic and cultural influence.
PLEASE READ THIS, AS BACKGROUND INFO ON SIBERIANS, CHUKOTKAN-KAMCHADALS AND ESKIMOS:
Keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadal culture is similar to that of Siberian Turkic culture (Yakut, Evens, etc) Chukotkan-Kamchadals culture is the midpoint between Turkic Siberian and North American Eskimo culture. ( _keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are Eskimo, ethnically and culturally wise. However, I will continue to refer to them as Chukotkan-Kamchadals to avoid confusion._ )
ON THE TOPIC OF LIGHT HAIR AND EYES:
I am not white by any means. However, my eye color is olive and my hair is auburn/ginger. (My hair is dyed in my prof pic and I have contact lenses in) This is a genetic mutation. People can have genetic mutations that give them light hair and eyes, but not have even a drop of European blood.
Ainus can have blue eyes, but this by no means makes them white.
Let’s look at the Solomon Islanders:
The Solomon Islands are in Melanesia. 60,000 to 100,000 years ago, Africans set sail and became the first people to settle the Melanesian islands. Melanesians are basically African (black) and their haplogroups line up with that conclusion. Either way, melanesians being from Sub-Saharan Africa is a fact.
People from the Solomon Islands may inherit a genetic mutation that gives them blonde hair and blue eyes. _This does not make them white, nor does it mean that they are partially white._ I brought this up to show us that you do not have to be white to have these types of features.
Asia and genetic mutations:
It is a common occurrence that once in a while in Central Asia, a person will be born with either green or blue eyes, or maybe auburn or red hair. The same goes for Siberia. GENETIC MUTATIONS HAPPEN. They just do. It means nothing about race.
Bottom line:
The genetic mutations causing light hair and eyes in non-white people, is a completely different gene than the one that is passed on through white people that can lead to blonde hair and blue eyes etc. Eye and hair color does not indicate the racial identity of a certain ethnic group.
*_JUST BECAUSE A COUPLE MONGOLIANS HAVE RED HAIR AND GREEN EYES, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE SECRETLY WHITE. NOR DOES IT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE RACE OF THE PEOPLE. IF THEY ARE ASIAN THEY ARE ASIAN. HAIR AND EYES COLOR DOESNT CHANGE THAT._*
Genghis Khan having red hair and green eyes, does not mean he was white. whatsoever. Plus, it probably was more of a tint, than full on red and green.
Ainus having blue eyes does not prove that they are “secretly white” In addition, there is plenty of haplogroup evidence to back up that they are not descendants of Europeans or white.
Thank youuu :)
Edit: another argument for Ainus being white are the fact that some Ainus can be lighter skinned. Pure Ainus can range from tan to light. While pure Ainus are usually mostly tan, they can still be very pale. This is due to the fact that Ainus are geographically siberians. In Siberia, people _can_ be very tan (the sun actually is pretty prominent in the summer. And in winter, light bounces off of the snow) however, most siberians are light skinned due to the fact that they need to absorb more vitamin D from the atmosphere. Again, light skin does not prove race. It is a environmental adaptation.

@@nicholasjohnson91That sounds very interesting. I hope that one day Okinawan history will finally be brought to light.

Even though I've never been anywhere in Japan or East Asia, and I've just read about those parts, I love Hokkaido. It's quite similar in climate and many other physical aspects to New England, Upstate New York, and adjacent portions of Canada (e.g. Montreal, where I live). It's way less crowded than the rest of Japan, and the original ethnic stock (Ainu) is much different from much of the rest of Japan. Don't get me wrong, I love Japanese culture as a whole and I love the rest of Japan, but Hokkaido is something else.
Because of the ocean currents, East Asia's climate is pretty similar to North America's east coast at the same latitudes. Tokyo is at about the latitude of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sapporo is about level with Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Southern Kyushu is about level with Charleston, South Carolina. This is why Japan, Korea, and China have such humid summers compared with the relatively dry summers in the western USA.
Vermont here, Also, on the other end of the world, southern New Zealand is at 45 south which matches the N45 parallel going through Swanton, VT just south of QC where you are. In fact there was an incident a couple years ago where there was so much snow in southern NZ that the roof of the local auditorium collapsed which sounds like something that would happen to us up here in QC/VT.
Hokkaido is very nice indeed👍
Funny enough, the Ainu didnt even settle into Hokkaido until the 13th century when they were separated from the original Emishi in the tohoku region. Hell, they didnt even call themselves “Ainu” until then.

A lot of ur info about the Jomon/Ainu is wrong. They weren't taller and lighter than the Yayoi; in fact, the opposite was true. They were darker and shorter.
Yes. That explains the main physical difference between the Koreans and the Japanese. Quite similar looking but the Japanese are shorter overall, the Ainu input most likely. Don't know about darker. I don't think Ainu were that much darker to make a significant difference. Japanese spoken language is very similar to Korean which is very similar to Mongolian. Koreans are a mix btwn northern Mongol/Altaic input and the South East Asian input from Indian regions. Japanese are mostly ancient and modern Koreans. Just like the Anglo-Saxons who replaced the original Druid inhabitants by multiple migrations from the Viking regions of the North, there are records of continual movement of ppl from the Korean peninsula throughout history to the Japanese isles, mostly ppl who were fleeing the peninsula after their kingdoms were over thrown. There are still towns of ppl made of descendants of the Goguryeo, and Baekjae, the two kingdoms in Korea that were defeated by the kingdom of Shilla. Older Ainu inhabitants of South East Asian origin, apparently share the same fate as the Druids. They were replaced by disease, battle, colonization and assimilation. Their modern estimate according to Wiki is 25K to 200K(assumed)
@@jacobh9487 In old Japanese paintings, the Emishi/Ainu were consistently depicted as dark and hairy, several shades darker than the Japanese themselves, so that tells you something about their skin color.

Yayoi did not originate from Korea but the Southern part of China.
Japanese hate to admit the Yayoi came from Korea, and insist they some how came from China.
NOT possible. people did not have navigational skill to jump from China to Japan over open sea back then.
They had to go through Korean peninsula and cross into Japanese Islands via narrow straight.
massive immigration of Southern Chinese into Japan, without going through alread heavily populated Korean peninsula is just simply not possible.
Yayoi came from southeastern China. Than they lived on southern part of "korean" peninsular. Than proto-Koreans from Manchuria invaded them and most proto-Japanese migrated to Japan. But some stayed. They are named "Peninsular-Japonic". Many recent studies say Pre-Baekje, Pre-Silla, Gaya and Tamna was Peninsular-Japonic before the Koreans came. So Yayoi can not be ethnic Koreans, as Koreans were located in Manchuria during the Yayoi Invasion of Japan.
@@Kenny-fh3om They came from Korea , not wrong but needs to be corrected.
Direction wise its true but ethnicity at the time is different from those who are now living in Korea.
@soji okita clearly, there were people in Japan before Far East Asian looking people came over from Korean Peninsula. These people came into Japan during the ice age when there was land bridge between Japan and Okinawa, Taiwan, all the way to Philipins and beyond. they look totally different from Far East Asians. Most of thse "Native" Japanese were killed off, and what remains were intermarried. That's why today's Japanese look like Far East Asian, and Not like South East Asians or Austronesians. Obviously there are some Japanese who have these Austronesian features, but most Japanese look like Chinese/Korean/Mongolian.
He is Japanese!! Why you have to argue with, he knows better than you!! Koreans have huge cheekbones, southern Chinese and Japanese don't, now get lost

All the latest genetic studies have eliminated any possible Andamanese connection. If you look at these two ethnic groups it's not hard to see why there must have been a huge error in the original data.
Which ethnic group do you believe is older? The Andamanese have been referred to as the children of Adam. They have no genetic admixture; 100% homosapien -sapien; or wise man..im an etymology geek.
Very interesting. Have one friend of Japanese descent. She is great to be around and discuss their culture.
The majority of modern Japanese has ancestry from the Yayoi People (average 90%). (range from 80 to 100%). Yayoi People were present on parts of the Korean peninsula since about 1500 BCE, before they either lived in southeastern China (possibly the Wu state) or around the Yan state. The Yayoi were not related to the proto-Koreans who arrived from Korea in the southern Korean peninsula at around 300 BCE causing the Yayoi Migration/Invasion in Japan.
Spot on, but for some nationalistic reason it is disputed by the Japanese of the present time.
The first Japanese known as Jomonjin (Jomon people) were in fact two tribes. One proto-Mongoloid and one Caucasoid group. They mixed more than 10,000 years ago. Thus Jōmon show connections to both Mongoloids and Caucasoids.
Do you have any documentation? When Japanese do genetic testing it as an overwhelming whole show basically no 'Caucasoid' ancestry. Can you share more on this?
@@AdNG1 he made it up
@@AdNG1 Because only Jomon people in the North had Caucasoid ancestry. And those Jomon people were only 15% Caucasoid. Japanese people are 12% Jomon on average. This means a Japanese person is 1.8% Caucasoid on average if all of his or her Jomon ancestry is from the North. But the problem is that there's no Japanese people all of whose Jomon ancestry is from the North except for some Ainu people. The non-Ainu Japanese ancestors of all non-Ainu Japanese people in Hokkaido or Tohoku originally came from other regions pretty recently. So the only Japanese people whose DNA results would show statistically significant amounts of Caucasoid ancestry are Ainu Japanese people, which I'm pretty sure none of the Japanese people you saw show their DNA results are.
Great video. I'm definitely interested in more about the Ryukyuan. :)

In this video no mention was made of the possible Japanese - Hungarian connection. The Grammatical structure of Japanese is fundamentally identical with the Uralic Languages. Hungarian belongs to this group as a language. There are numerous Japanese words which acquaint with hungarian eg. cho - Snow Tabi - eat nourish, sui - sour, hon - country etc, Hungarian sounds or words may sound japanese but their meaning is different. A similar religious aspect may also interest readers of this column. According to Japanese beliefs the Sun is a Japanese God and similarly in ancient Hungarian the Sun was also revered as God. According to Professor Mitsuo Matsumoto of Asaka, the closest relatives to the Hungarians are the Japanese.
Japanese words and names are very similar and sometimes exactly the same as Luganda words (from Uganda) and the neighbouring Bantu language words. For example names like Kato (Kato is a name given to the male twin born last in luganda), Kagawa (we have Nagawa and Kagwa), Jinja which is a shrine in Japanese means "stone" in luganda, "iiyee" means "no" in Japanese but "iiyee" means "yes" in Luganda. Kyoto means a fire place in Luganda etc
Where do we find the japanese poeple with the most Jomon admixture outside of the ainu?

It's amazing how climate and environment radically change the physical characteristics of ethnic groups...
Who'd imagine the Andamanese, The Tibetan, and the Ainu are genetically related?
There's a lot of conflicting information regarding the (pure/original) Ainu. Some people argue that they're Caucasoid but some say they're Australoid (and some say that the Australoid are actually a branch of the Caucasoid group). However, a lot of modern research has shown that they're closely related to the Mongoloid groups.
I think that they are somewhat close to Tibetans and Sentinelese.
That has been solved, Jomon were mostly modern East Asian ("Mongoloid") but they carried an important percentage of Ancient North Eurasian from Siberia, Ancient North Eurasian was 70% Gravettian (European) but also 30% Early East Asian and by Early East Asian I mean people more related to Papuans, Melanesians, Aeta/Negritos and Australasians, also Gravettian Europeans looked different than Europeans today, they leaned towards looking a bit more Australoid hence the confusion, also these Basal East Asians diverged into the modern East Asians we see today that's why Basal and Modern populations related genetically can cause this type of confusion.
@@karinano1stan In the sense that they all have haplogroup D, but they're genetically very different from the Ainu. The Ainu are much closer to Japanese than to Tibetans.
Gotta be a Mongolian connection to the Yamato. Look at many of the Mongolian sumo stars in Japan such as Hakuho. They are indistinguishable from Japanese. Besides, they easily learn Japanese like Dutch and Scandinavians pick up English.
Exactly
That's because they have common ancestors. But that doesn't make it correct to say Japanese have "Mongolian ancestors" because the ancestors that Japanese share with Mongolians weren't "Mongolians."
before that you have to go thru korea lol
Korean is a more accurate connection to Yamato. Almost all Korean and Japanese have the same O2 or M-176 DNA.
This video is important since many of Japan-related videos completely ignore how Japan started. Japan was formed when Yayoi that were ancient Chinese at one point merged with Jamon who were earlier settlers. Chinese nationalist loves to say "They have stolen from us.." when Japan simply have 60% of its ancestral root in ancient China. Funny thing is, modern Chinese are barely related with ethnic group of ancient Chinese civilization. Not even racially connected for Yin. They are a group of people who invaded, killed and expelled ancient Chinese.
Japanese people are Chinese
Your statement isn't based on academic researches though. Yayoi were thought to be a group of Japonic speaker and their closest ethnicity was ancient Korean, not Chinese. Japanese and Korean share Y-haplogroup O1b2, which is rarely seen among Chinese.
Japan formed with the arrival of the recent East Asian related migrants, but modern Japanese are Ainu mixed with East Asians. Japanese are NOT Chinese. If a half Black half Japanese existed, you would not be calling that thing a Japanese person. 😊

If you are looking for new ideas, may I suggest a video about the Berber people. In my opinion their history gets less attention than the Roman conquest of North Africa and later the Arab conquest. In fact many Tunisians like myself are/were unaware of their Berber origin and consider themselves as Arab primarily because the Tunisian language is an Arab language.

Fit Fat Boyz the Ainu were poorer then the Japanese and mostly work in the fields as farmers and it’s called a tan. Ainu nobility were light af.
The “first Japanese”, known as Jomon had multiple origins, but most came from Siberia (southern Siberia). They were likely connected with European hunter gatherers which where also found in parts of Siberia. Modern Ainu still show relative closer relation to Siberians than to any other group.
They were connected with Ancient North Eurasians (ANE) from the Rhinoceros Horn Site of Siberia, the ANE were different from Hunter Gatherers in that they mastered the hunt of the Wooly Mammoth and could keep a lifestyle very different from European Hunter Gatherers. The ANE took East Asian wives and populated the Americas but they also went west, mixed with European Hunter Gatherers and birthed the Eastern Hunter Gatherer, that's when Blonde Hair started being selected in Europe. ANE was patriarchal and very militaristic like and conflictive making blades for spears, I'm sure their interactions with East Asians in Japan were not friendly until they settled completely in Hokkaido.

I do not think, but there was a huge trade between these countries in ancient times
Y-DNA table shown on 3:40 makes me to think about 3 waves of settlement:
1. C1a1 - original settlers of Southern half of Japan (seems to be related with C1a-haplogroupped Sungir' culture of West Russia ~30K years BP, which means they were original North Eurasian inhabitants; another possibility could be related with Australian-Oceanian original population, however currently they show C1* and C1b only),
2. D1b (major) + C2a (minor) haplogroups = Ainus (probably came from North via Sakhalin island)
3. O2b (major) + O3 (minor) haplogroups = former inhabitants of Korea & Manchuria (they differ from current Koreans and Manchu by absense of additional waves of O3 and C2a migrants into these regions).
The connection between Korean and Japanese is almost certain. Like Japanese, the Korean language is suspected of originating from the Dravidian language family of southern India or the Austronesian language family. Although Japanese and Korean are different languages, no one can deny the fact that they are the two most similar languages on Earth.

The ancestors of the Ainu are the Jōmon people, the natives of Japan. They had multiple origins. Some East Asian, Central Asian and West Eurasian. Ainu preserved West Eurasian phenotypes from one of their ancestors, which were related to paleolithic Europeans. So in other words they were predominantly Caucasoid. A Caucasoid-related component is found in modern Ainu, and in very minor percentage also in Japanese, Native Taiwanese and Ulchi of Siberia.
I mean I see that many Japanese people have very bony noses and body hair. But this is probably due to them being related to a Eurasian ancestor,not so much as a Caucasian ancestor.
Japanese are 96,7% Yayoi (East Asian). Jōmon may be related to Europeans, but they are extinct nearly today. Most Ainu even have mostly East Asian ancestry today.
To be specific, they were originally the Emishi from the tohoku region that separated in the 13th century. They only came to be known as “Ainu” after they settled into
Hokkaido later on.

The Jōmon population during the Jōmon period in Japan is a mix of proto-Mongoloid and Caucasoid groups. The Yayoi population is Mongoloid from mainland East Asia. The Yayoi are the early Japonic speakers. Modern Japanese are primarily descendants of the Yayoi. Jōmon admixture is very minor. The Jōmon exhibited paternal haplogroups D-M55, C1a1 and C2. D-M55 is only found in Japan, C1a1 also only in Japan (C1a2 is found in Europeans and Arabs (minor)), and C2 is common in Siberia and Japan. The Yayoi exhibit O1, O1b2, and O2, which are common in all East Asia, Southeast Asia and some other areas. For further information please see Japanese history textbook or online library, Tokyo national museum, Tokyo University, Kyoto university, Osaka, Sapporo, and other scientific journals.
They are not. Get some basic facts.
Very wrong troll, there are no anthropologic or genetic studies the support your claims. Jōmon were not Australoid and Japanese have no Australoid DNA. There is also no Australoid admixture in other Asians. Only some Southeast Asians and Polynesians have admixture. But in Southeast Asia not more than 5 to 10% and Polynesians have not more than 20%. Some even have zero. Again, get some facts.

Ainu ARE NOT white people. If you look at old Japanese paintings done 300 years or older, Ainu are always depicted as dark skined short and hairy people, in contrast to Japanese. Also Japanese insist that Ainu came down from Siberia into Northern Japanese island, which is a lie. Ainu occupied Japanese island, and only pushed North by the Modern Japanese immigration. Ainu people entered Japanese Islands from the South, during the ice age when there was landbridge between Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Philippine, all the way down to Austaralia.
