As an ethnic Siberian native, I wish I could go to Siberia! I always got asked if I'm Chinese at school (I live in Ireland) and we didn't know! I did a DNA test to find out. Thanks for this video, it taught me so much about my history.
I agree. What’s harder is when you grow up your entire life looking into Chukotka, but because of international politics cannot enter. I’m from St. Lawrence Island, USA. A majority of our population has relations on both sides of the strait.
@@Scarizza whoah whoah. . . some of those are alleged. Yeah polynesian finding their way to the far shores of the americas is not that farfetched. The vikings did make it there. soultreans or the glacial land bridge hypothesis is just that - conjecture. Africans might have gotten there but no big dick evidence has been found for them. To further my polynesian posit, if they can find easter island they can find the americas. The ancient past is unformed and convoluted almost like those memories of early chilhood.
@@Scarizza no. What im saying is there is single genome ethnicity of Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. Native American is not African, Asian, European or Oceanian but Native American (Alaska to Chile). Yes present day western hemisphere living you will see mixing of genomes (ethnicities)... but there still remains multitudes of single genomes (ethnicities) in mixed person. So no Africans did not contribute to Native American ethnicity (they are 2 seperate ethnicities), no Asians do not contribute to Native American ethnicity (they are 2 different ethnicities) & no Oceanian people largely have not contributed to the Native American genome (they are 2 different ethnicities) with the exception of the Karitiana tribe in the Amazon but still that is only one of the many tribes in the Amazon. So in short Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, Africans, Asians, Europeans & Oceanians are all different major Ethnic groups in the world. Now if someone is "mixed" that is a different subject as much of todays world populations *are of mixed individuals... but those mixed individuals are comprised of multiple single genome markers (ethnicities)
An example: a person participating in Ancestry.com gets 50% Native American, 30% Spanish, 5% English, 5% European Jewish, 5% Congo & 5% Siberian. What this tells clearly is all of the above ethnicities i mentioned as an example are indictive of those ethnicities being their own unique Genome marker and not the same [those ethnicities i mentioned as an example are *actual possible ethnicities one can receive when taking Ancestry.com; which is Number 1 rated]
@@yaknotnud It's not one third of Native Americans that descend from that group, it's that the average Native American (most Native Americans) derives one third of their DNA from that group: so most Native Americans are two thirds East Asian (a majority of their ancestry) and one third ancient/early Western Eurasian (a significant minority). Their East Asian and Western Eurasian ancestors had already mixed in Siberia before they came to America, creating a mixed population (so it's not that there was one fully Western Eurasian wave that came over). Also, the Western Eurasian ancestral component probably came from somewhere around Western Siberia or somewhere just West of west Siberia/northern Eurasia rather than any particular origin in the Levant (The article says that group was related to Europeans and Middle Easterners because those groups are Western Eurasian too.).
This is very interesting as a Finn. We had similar shamanistic practices as many Siberian groups and the DNA is also distantly related. Some of our local shamans today have actually learned a lot from Siberians who were able to keep it more thriving.
No wonder. The original habitat of the Finno-Ugoric people was around the Urals, between the Volga and the Ob rivers. (thats why we are also called as "Uralic") AFAIK the Finns are closer related to the western branch, (like Mordvins or the Mari people, also called Volga-Finns) while Hungarians are more related to the eastern, Ugoric branch (Khanty, Mansi).
Actually I am from Siberia and many people who earn some money run away and buy properties in warm areas of Russia or even abroad because living 8 months in a raw fighting with snow and cold is devastating, if people from warm placeis reading this, guys you are luckiest people
People might freeze to death there, but here, people get third degree burns from touching the ground. The locals here run around like nothing matters, but during the day, I don't go outside. I am nocturnal now
From Canada. We know how you feel. Many will run down to Arizona and Florida to wait out our winters. I moved to the Pacific coast, where it is quite mild. We might get snow for a few days a year. Now I miss it.
n Lin ydna N and Q is also found in majority of native Americans and Turks and N is found in majority of tungusic n Finnish-ugric people’s.....and they are not samoyedic...lol en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoyedic_peoples Eskimos are Eskimo-Aleut peoples and sami are Finno-ugric peoples. Haha
Please make videos about this Are Koreans & Native Siberians related? Are Japaneses & Austronesians related? Altaic peoples Are Dravidians & Native Aussies related? Are Celts & Israelis related? What happened to Hayato People? Austronesians in Japan
actually All Asians(east ,south east asians ,Austronesians,central asians ) including native Americans stem from Same paleo Siberian root it all began by people around 60,000 years ago who made separate journey from the Middle East Perhaps by following mammoth and bison herds over the Asian steppes, or grassy plains and when they arrived in southern Siberia by 43,000 years ago during that period The isolation of humans in the severe north produced the Mongoloid racial type. This race is best suited to survive extreme cold, with stocky build, small extremities, relatively little body or facial hair, flat faces, and fat padded eyes. and later as revealed by discoveries of ancient tools Developed during the Neolithic period the retreat of the ice in nomads of the steppes. made Several expansions towards to Asia. who eventually became chinese ,Austronesian,Japanese etc but at same time one particular people who further spread farther north and east Those descendants will make the first trip to the Americas about 20,000 years later
many people were displaced by Indoeuropeans: old Europeans (of whom Basques seem to be the only survivors), Dravidians in the north of India, Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians
@Avery Holt absolutely. You were not aware that the English settlers who displaced Australian aborigines from their land are Indoeuropeans (just like most Europeans, except Hungarians, Finns, Estonians and Basques)? Same with the displacement of Native Amerindians in the Americans.
@Avery Holt it is a fairy tale (denied not only by genetic evidence but by the historical record), that Indoeuropean language expanded by peaceful intermarriage between different groups. Tell that to Australian aborigines or Native Americans! The Yamnaya expansion into Europe was also associated in the archeological and genetic records with the disappearance of what Gimbutas called "Old Europe". Same with the expansion of Indo-Aryan languages in India. (that you believe that Sanskrit is the original proto-indo European language shows you are not very up to date in these issues). But if you want to believe fairy tales, that's fine
You can feel it only travelling by train :) I went from Moscow to Novosibirsk by train, it took 2 days, but I saw plains of the European part, Ural Mountains, swamps and salt lakes of Omsk region. It was unforgettable, really.
It was very interesting to know about the back history of Siberia, I'm adopted from Siberia, and I'm specifically Nanai. I don't really know much about my birth background.
Fascinating video. I've been curious about this particular topic for quite some time; and although it can be a little confusing due to migrations, diversity of Siberian ethnic groups and eventual conquest of the region, you were very clear and succinct in stating the distinctions whilst doing your best in explaining theories about the contemporary make-up of these groups. Excellent work Masaman.
im fine with being called a asian latino because we have many spanish influence, we just dont speak spanish because they stopped teaching it and made it into an optional language but i am learning spanish because of spanish movies
Well some Siberians came to what is now Canada, as far as the Atlantic. And some of their descendants married French and Scottish soldiers who stayed in Canada after the conquest of Quebec. They are called "Métis", mixed people who adopted European culture.Most Métis probably do not know they are mixed. I didn't until age 75. There exists in Canada today, spread from coast to coast bits of the Siberian genome, probably more in aggregate than before Europeans arrived.
My dad tells me our family is part "Samoyed Nenet" which no one ever seems to talk about. Apparently they were heavily repressed by the USSR. It would be great to see your style of research on them.
With these Siberians it's close to what the Inuits wear - what the cold climate necessitates. Often from the reindeer, northern deers and seals - fom animals adapted to the cold.
@@zibongo6720 They are black. My grandparents here in north america have straight hair and they say they're the original native Americans. The siberians came after them and they shared the land together. This a proven scientific fact.
Most hetrogenous group of people: the turks in modern turkey. They are so mixed, they constantly have to shout how turkish they are because they are insecure.
@jeffery allen Often times though these nomadic groups simply conquer the more thriving lands and it comes back to bite the non-nomadic types in the ass.
Hey Mason, anthropologist for Siberia and the Far North here! I have some remarks you might find interesting: 1.) Ainu people have been living in southern Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands, not just on Sakhalin (where there are actually about a hundred persons claiming to be Ainu). So no wonder that their genetics are being found around the Okhotsk sea. 2.) Since Russian politics and even social sciences self-censor on the term of 'colonisation' (instead, they use 'voluntary affiliation'. No joke.), it would have been great to dedicate a few seconds to the cruelty with which the Cossacks conquered the peoples of the Northeast. Further reading: contemporary witness Georg W. Steller describing the genocide on the Itelmen people in his travelogue. 3.) Siberian Eskimos are actually remigrants from Alaska. Weird paardox here: first contact with the white man in Siberia was with American, so in Siberian Yupik 'cow' phonetically resembles the English word, while in Alaskan Yupik the same term is a phonetic assimilation of Russian 'korova'. 4.) Pomors are not recognized by Russian legislation as an own people. Moreover, a few years ago there have been raids against Pomor leaders to keep any national movement down. 5.) Chukchees were still not that long ago into bridenapping. Still in the 1950s there were reports on abducted Russian teachers in the region, and even of abducted negro women from Alaska. Not a real contribution to any of your points made, but maybe still interesting, as you obviously have some interest in fun facts of anthropology. 6) Great example of ethnic and linguistic shifts in Siberia are the Soyots: initially having been Sayan-Samoyeds, they have been first turkicized by Khakas and Tuvans (other Samoyedic People thus fled from Southern Siberia to the Far North, see Nganasan people), and then monogolicized. So they have a mix of everything: Samoyedic DNA, a Turkic dialect, and Mongolic customs.
What happened to them what do you mean what happened to them; they are not extinct they are still here you can literally go to Siberia and visit them. And, I highly recommend it. It is a fascinating trip that will reside with you for a lifetime. Also why do people always talk about the Siberians like they are gone.
From what I have heard in history class, Native Americans do have distant connections to Siberians, but the Bering Strait land bridge was more like a huge landmass of its own that was somewhat cut off from the rest of north Asia, which is why even though they are the closest relatives to Native Americans, Siberians are still very distinct genetically. Idk
William Khumalo what do you mean they’re black? They’re the first people of our species on the American continent to really spread out. They’re not black, they don’t even resemble black people unless they’re mixed.
11:02 - you're slightly wrong here. Local culture was never really intentionally "suppressed" in Siberia. In the pre-1917 Russian Empire, the pressure was rather to "civilize" the natives. Nevertheless, they were allowed their tribal self-governance. In the USSR, the local cultures were actually promoted and sponsored. However, the natives mostly suffered because of the ecological policies of the state. There was also some pressure to "educate" the natives in modern professions (like, tailors and tractor drivers), which also adversely affected their culture.
This guy speaks the truth!!!! I'm Siberian, we were never oppressed, just given other possibilities to CHOOSE from. At the end, no one cared if you wanted to stay in clay hut and pray to the river god. It's all stupid Western propaganda to give the view of "racist russia" when they at the same time were lynching blacks and putting Natives in re-education schools.
@@alicehawkins5491 Siberian with that name? Are you siberian descent? I live here in Republic of Sakha, Siberia and I'm siberian ethnicity myself Sakha(Yakut). During soviet regime indigenous people wasn't allowed to speak in their language in cities, practice their religion(shamanism, tengrism) and their traditions. During Russian Empire era natives were forced to change their religion to christianity, although natives wasn't truly followed it. Also the first russian conquerers "Cossacks" were no better than robbers and killers. They usually kills hundred of people to scare natives and did many other atrocities, natives were forced to pay "yassak" - hide of fur animals. In 1941 most of natives were sent to war with Nazy Germany and most of them died. In 1942 people from local area Churapcha were forcefully moved to arctic area of republic in order to get more fish. 5000 men and women, included their childs, were moved to a place without any stuff, they have to get everything themselves. 1747 of them died in total. The remaining people were moved back only in 1947. My father is from Churapcha region, although his family wasn't deported to arctic areas, his grandfather were imprisoned in Gulag for year after he was freed from german concentration camp by american soldiers. He then was declared as traitor, but thanks to our god Tanghara, he back to live and made family.
@@kirilll7806Firstly I said over the years not by over the days and secondly who knows maybe those 2% of the population(the homosexuality communities aka gays) will continue to increase in high rates due to the increasingly support it got mostly from Europe and the west ? and Honestly from my point of view i do not want them to spread in big numbers really instead i want these weird communities to disappear from exist
As a Peruvian with high Native American blood, it’s cool to see how much Native Americans have evolved. And it’s cool to see how the last wave of Siberian’s that are now known as Arctic Native Americans (eskimos) that came to the Americas look less evolved and look more similar to Siberian’s. This is all so fascinating because you can even see the resemblance that Native Americans and Siberian’s have (the eyes and the big cheeks). There’s a familiarity and similarity :)
@@milekrizman They probably wouldn't do so well, the climate has changed, a lot of the flora and fauna has changed, ecosystems are just not the same anymore, even if they were here only 3,600 years ago.
Very good video. Thank you. However, there can be no direct comparison between colonisation of Siberia by Russian Empire and colonisation of other continents by Christian nations, especially North America. My own grandfather was from a small Western Siberian people who lived in what is modern Tomsk region. My grandmother's ancestors were the first cossacks who claimed that territory for the Russian Empire in 1602. The history of my family is well documented and I can tell you that there was NO genocide. There was no forced conversion to Christinanity either. My grandfather's ancestors became Christian in 1762, this is 160 years after they were officially counted and recorded for tax purposes and basically left to their own devices. The small peoples of that region before the Russians came paid taxes to Tatar khans who protected them from the nomads. So it was normal for them to swear allegiance to another power and carry on. The number of "conquering Russians", who in fact were ethnically very diverse, was very small they built fortresses and relied on the natives to make up the numbers to protect the new frontier against the nomadic raiders from the south and south-east (called collectively Kirgiz/ though this is not quite accurate, of course). Some more numerous peoples in Eastern Siberia and Russian Far East did put up a resistance. For example, Chukcha people. It took them approximately 150 years to warm up to the other peoples in the Russian Empire, not just Russians. Maybe sometimes the interests of the Empire took precedence over the interests of the native peoples of Siberia, but they were never deiberately suppressed as is evidenced by so many prominent and famous people in Russian history who came from their midst. Over time there were a lot of intermarriages with settlers coming to farm in Siberia from Central areas of the Russian Empire as is evidenced by the tens of thousands of Church records I have studied just for Tomsk region alone. Yes, there were millions of people who made a long journey with their families to resettle in Siberia as many areas of this vast territory are very fertile. The cliche about people ending up in Siberia only against their will is outdated. Think of it as Australia. Yes, they too sent criminals there, but this is only a small part of the country's history. In 1878 in Tomsk there was a University and only 2 prisons. During Soviet Union ethnic minorities as they were called were given a lot of attention including priority for education and development. They were accepted into top universities without exams. Their culture was promoted, they were given opportunity to develop their own literature. Tomsk University has traditionally supported research of Ket and Selkup (very small local ethinc groups) languages and folklore. I spent 5 years in Kamchatka (Russian Far East) as a child. I went to a typical kindergarten along with children of many nationalities including children from local ethnic groups. We learnt about the culture of the local coastal and tundra peoples and their dances, songs and customs, including shamanic. I do remember that the children of the raindeer herders were sometimes forcibly taken from their families to be put into boarding schools. This was done because primary and junior education was compulsory. Compare this to not letting your child go to school in the UK, or even simply letting them play truant - you will be prosecuted, and in worst cases your children will be taken away by Social Services. I also remember that some children were not used to certain foods and complained about digestive problems. Again, the school meals had to be balanced and the same for everyone. Perhaps these issues, and some other ones could have been handled better. But apart from newborn nationalists I can't imagine anyone from the Siberian ethnic minorities who has actually lived during the Soviet times honestly claiming there was a drive to make them extinct. I was brought up to respect every human being, ehtnic group and people and encouranged to learn about them.This would not be possible in the country with a history of colonial arrogance.
Exactly! Ignorant Americans without any knowledge & experience of Russian/Siberian history, make baseless assumptions that Russia = American colonisation. They just fill in the blanks with their own American history. Russia is very “unracist” compared to divisionist politics in America. It has never been subject to any mass ideological issues with regards to racism, since Russians had been in close contact with many other ethnic groups on its modern territory way back in time. That being said, there were armed conflicts before, however, the numbers of deaths were exceptionally small and on both sides. Part of the reason the smaller groups could be easily conquered as part of Russian Empire was because they were in constant fighting in between each other though. The other part was the gradual settlement of Russians further to the east, as the contacts were already established, so the Russian population outnumbered.
Christianity is known for either forced co versions or state mandated conversions. It never adopted the original Hebrew/Israelite (a Jewish, to the ignorant) dictate, straight from the original Bible, of no force. No corrosion. Mo conversion by any means. We lead by example. Not force.
Update: lots of Buryats were sent to die in the War for Putin, you russians are the same as the Americans, canadians, British, portuguese, spanish etc, always trying to get rid of minorities, such a shame that this comment has so many likes, only lies and chauvinism
There's no such thing as "good colonisation", if russia is so good to indigenous people, why they dont have any kind of autonomy? Why indigenous leaders in Russia are labeled as "foreign agents"? (the irony in this is almost laughable), people only believe in this because the West is uneducated about Russian colonialism in north Asia, Caucasus and central Asia, Russians are no exception, they're colonialists just like the British.
I’m half Russian (Siberian) from my mom’s side since she was raised and born there. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the Siberians, thank you for the video ^^
My husbands mother was from the Ulch tribe, and my grand-grandmother and her family also originally from Siberian Far East (Now called Russian Far East), I was born and raised there too, its so nice to finally find some great info about our families roots, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
No such thing as a mixed person. This is a western idea that goes against the very book they claim to abide by. You are whatever your father is. The woman has zero bearing on ethnicity on the child. Numbers 1:18 [18]And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
Nice! Got a lot of material that's been suggested covered in this video. Some brainstorming: 1. My usual reiterations of what you have not done yet (thank you for doing many of them btw) 2. Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Assam, Nagaland, Tibet, etc. 3. World's Esperantist population (and other artificial languages that actually form a community) 4. Vikings of the Baltic/Ingria Region/Alands/Bornholm/Gotland, Saaremaa, etc.-the lesser known areas of northern Europe with some fascinating backgrounds. This is where you can analyze Doggerland as well. Also, the Tornedalians and Jamtland might be interesting to analyze as well. 5. Nan Modal on the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia 6. Nauru, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, etc. (you can discuss the upcoming independence referendum on Bougainville Island on 10/15/2019 in this) 7. ****The LESSER known islands and peoples of Indonesia (or the Philippines as well for that matter) 8. Seychelles-The Seychellois are a creole type group that I think would fit well with this. 9. What is a "Chicano"? (One definition I've studied is that after the Mexican American War, people of Mexican descent living in areas that became the USA remained there and became the indigenous Hispanic culture of the USA. Is there truth to that?) 10. I still think analyzing the people's of the Southeast Pacific would be fascinating. You'd obviously include The Galapagos and Easter Island, but there are other inhabited areas that are really interesting as well. 11. French America in New England (look up French Azilum in Pennsylvania as well). The former independent countries of this area (such as the Vermont Republic) would be interesting. 12. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creole_peoples 13. Jews of China, India, and East Asia (Kaifang Jews, Cochin Jews, etc.) 14. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Islands_Americans 15. ruclips.net/video/Pb3DQ4uCJSc/видео.html 16. ruclips.net/video/jdYwMLSNHnU/видео.html 17. Bulgaria 18. Western Mediterranean Islands 19. Ethnic minorities in North Korea (yes, there are a few, which is why I am suggesting it) 20. Last of the Mohicans-the true story
Why “Latinos of Asia”? Serious and genuine question. When I hear Latinos, I imagine people who speak Spanish, as oppose to Lusophone culture, or speakers of Portuguese. So if the Central Asians are Latino, what are the Lusófonos in your context? Am I missing something?
Yet that also shows that Native American & Siberian are 2 different Ethnicity groups with their **own genetic signature. ~Native American & Siberians are 2 different groups Ethnically
That’s from the mix of Spanish blood since most of the Spaniards that came from Spain are from andulusia which was a city state for the Berbers of Moroccoo hence why some hispanics like myself look Arab
I had a small celebrity crush on a girl from Yakutsk and made a painting from one of her instagram posts. My friends could not believe me when I said that she was Russian!

They have a small but burgeoning pop-culture, underrated and tucked away from view from the rest of the world

One of the largest Ethnic groups in the world are Bangalis, but they are always just grouped with Indians by ignorant people. Please do a seperate video on the Bengali people.
@@gamehacker2801 indians arent exactly one giant ethnic group either. I would love a video on all the various ethnic groups of south Asian from Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
I would like to learn about the Ket, Evenki, Nenets, Mansi, and Mari peoples. I would also like to learn of the origins of the turkic peoples and about the origins of the N haplotype and why it spread so far. And also about whether there are any ancient haplotypes like F or P still in Siberia ( as well as C of course)
Siberians are East Asians....made of up the following groups and other smaller groups without going into a dna analysis....chinese, korean, japanese, mongolian, vietnamese, thai, lao, burmese, even native americans have east asian features. Welcome home my Siberian brothers and sisters. You are not alone, you are a part of the rest of us.
@LanguagesPro You stop it! North asians like Siberians, Finns, Eskimos have Haplogroup N, and very close to Haplogroup O evolutionally! N&O was divided from Haplogroup K. Haplogroup Q&R came originally from Haplogroup P that was divided directly from K. Your Haplogroup C like Mongolians are too far from North and East Asians! Don't say them to be Mongolians! Your Y-DMA is very close to Aborigines who has Haplogroup C like you!
"The fact that Russians living in Siberia are descended from Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, etc... does call into the question the ethnic identity of Russians as a whole". Why? Show me one Europan or other ethnic group that is different in that regard?
Yes, there are very few homogeneous ethnic groups out there. Even the Germans, Italians and French had many different subgroups in the past, and even today to a lesser extent.
It's pretty much the same mess as in EU or USA, different nations which are living together and slowly mixing into each other, not a big deal, from my experience, if you speak fluent russian, you are considered to be russian for russian people, noone really cares what ethnicity you are, it causes a lot of confusion and frustration for a lot of people, because noone really knows what is like to be russian. There is even a funny exception: word ""russian"" is an adjective in russian while ""german,chiness,polish etc..."" are nouns. In fact anyone can become a russian. I see a lot of similarities in this case with USA. Which is funny :)
@@bakuretsutroll There are two seperate words for "ethnic Russian" and "citizen of the Russian federation" that sound pretty similar, isn't there? Also, the EU is not like that. It might be that slowly, and only very slowly, the various peoples of Europe are starting to mix. However, as it stands right now, the EU is comprized of completely seperate peoples. And the EU isn't one country either, it's just a union. No one calls themselves "European" as a term to descrive their ethnicity.
@@virding232 Yes, and I was talking about the word which describses the ethnicity. so? I am living in Netherlands, this country adopted various of cultures. In big cities every 5 th person is a foreigner. A lot of people from France come to Netherlands for example, and I am not even talking about refugies here. It's not about deeper integration just yet, although there are already disscussion on having a mutal EU army for example, the process is indeed slow, but in my opinion it's clearly happening, EU is very mixed up right now. And Russia just started this process ealier. We will all end up mixed up I think in one way or another. People can have different opinions on that, but this is what it is.
Yes Asians mongoloids just wipe out the previous inhabitants or heavily mix them out like they did with the Ancient North Eurasians caucasoids(white people) in siberia and central asia. Or in the case of all of southeast Asia , Indonesia, Japan , Philippines, and possibly the new world Asian mongoloids completely wiped out the Australoid race(think Ainu or Australian aboriginals). They never had the choice to assimilate or live on a res. The people you just mentioned are litetally reverse mestizos.
@@woohooo7634 yes ancient Siberian = caucasoid. mongoloids didn't show up until much much much later. Everyone with ANE admixture is either pure caucasoid are mixed mongoloid/caucasoid from recent mongoloid invasions.
Would be great if you'll cover an entire video about the Uralo-Yukaghir hypothesis, and in particular the Yukaghirs, because they used to inhabit most of the Russian Far East and now they are reduced to small pockets made up of few non-assimilated individuals.
You lead into this video beautifully in the last couple weeks introducing uralics first, then mongols and now the Siberians. I have very much enjoyed your coverage here 😊

Siberians went to the Americas and became Native Americans Siberians were pushed by Russians from the west Native Americans were pushed other Europeans form the east Generally, Siberians were pushed by Europeans :-0
Ian Miles Sorry bro but Native Americans have got Asiatic genes.(C and Q dna haplogroups). It’s not my personal idea , the studies proved that today Native American people migrated from Siberia.
@@AD-yq8rl Did you not watch the video? The amerindian genome is the result of thousands of years of mixing. Its a combination of Siberian (asian), Ancient North East Asian (divergent western eurasian), and some very small percentage of indoeuropean. Native Americans are related to asians, but they are not asian themselves. Its obvious because asians tend to have flat noses and native americans have noses that project outward, usually hooked roman noses. Its basically a hybrid race that was isolated for thousands of years and became its own thing.
I’m from Siberia. Krasnoyarsk Russia and I look Asian. It’s very interesting to know what I could be and I’ve learned a lot with this video and other videos about Asians in Russia
A fascinating video about an intriguing subject. But the Buryats are not the northernmost Turkic-speaking ethnicity; the Buddhist Buryats are ethnic Mongols. The northernmost Turkic-speaking ethnicity would be the Arctic Yakuts. Now, how about videos on the Finno-Ugric peoples?
I'm a Chilean and probably have some % of Siberian heritage 🤔🤔 The local natives developed some specific features though. For Example, Peruvian natives are different to Chilean natives and Amazonic natives. It's quite intriguing!
I would HIGHLY recommend looking into the history of the Chukchi in particular, because the Chukchi accomplished something pretty crazy - for a short time, at least, they were the natives that won. While the Russians were eventually able to crush pretty much every other tribe, the Chukchi actually beat the Russian invaders several times, to the point where the Russians (from what I've read) abandoned their post in the area, gave up trying to conquer the Chukchi by force, and in the end they actually reached a treaty to grant the Chukchi Russian citizenship in a peaceful manner rather than through conquest. Of course, The USSR's policies hit the Chukchi as badly as they did everyone else in Siberia, but through sheer willpower, positioning, fierce determination, and plain old luck, the Chukchi actually legitimately beat the Russian Empire. (Obviously I'm not an expert on the Chukchi whatsoever, but from what I have read, they've actually had a really neat history.)
@Jiraiya Sennin You’re right, I’m not an expert, just someone who likes to learn. If you could elaborate on where I was wrong, I would appreciate it! (Also, yes, I definitely did use a pretty strong word there - “crush” was probably a bit much.)
@Jiraiya Sennin I see! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this to me, I really appreciate it! I had no idea about the role of religion and how long some groups held onto both Orthodoxy and pagan religions.
@Jiraiya Sennin Firstly, thanks for the information on Yakutia, I didn’t know that and it was neat to hear! As for culture, well, I suppose all I can say is that I think you can preserve your Turkic culture and be a part of the global culture as well. You may live in warmth now, but there are still traditions and customs, stories and celebrations that you can keep alive. Of course, you can’t really stop the evolution of culture and you can’t really cut people off from the “global culture” (besides, there are plenty of modern conveniences that would suck to lose out on), but you can definitely keep your culture alive while not just living in the past, too. The world would be pretty lame if we were all the same, after all, and there are so many interesting places and peoples out there! I’m sort of rambling, I guess, so I’m sorry. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I don’t think you need to worry too much about what culture you belong to. You’re Yakut, right? And you’re Turkic, and you’re part of the global interconnected world as well. (Defining people by continent like “Asian” or “European” is kind of dumb anyways, I think.) Obviously that’s just my perspective though, the entire concept of “culture” means a lot less here in the United States where I live. But in any case, the world could always use more kind souls like yourself willing to talk and to teach! Thank you for speaking with me.
You got all your facts wrong. Too many, for me to even take time explaining everything from scratch. And there were actually other groups who had quite a few wins during their attacks on Russians.
@@nl4941 Well, how am I supposed to learn the correct facts, then? I've tried doing research on the Chukchi, but there's only so much information out there, and a lot of it is contradictory. Could you at least please point out a couple of the major issues for me, or point me to a site with information about the Chukchi or other Siberian peoples? (Also, I absolutely believe that other groups managed wins against the Russians - I apologize if I implied that no other groups ever won any battles in my original comment!)
@d puski I'm pretty sure Europeans did genocides, Africans had written languages and basically everyone had slaves again your spewing random bullshit and I was talking about native Siberians at first
My 23and Me results say I am a small percentage Siberian, which is news to me. I have stories of Cherokee/Creek ggg grandmother, but Siberian? Hmm, very interesting
Because in the past , Native American people were living in Siberia.They migrated to west and they settled in America.And also they’ve got asiatic genes.
Masamančik, would be nice to make a video about Manchu people, their language, and how they ruled China for over 3 centuries being in absolute minority. Are they like a compromise between Mongols and Han?
Northeast Asia mixed with Ancient North Eurasian, gave rise to Beringians and Paleo-Amerindians, Beringians went extinct and Paleo-Amerindians gave rise to modern Amerindians (Native Americas)
I’m half indigenous Siberian, my mom is Khakas. I’ve always been raised with more Russian culture though because my mom was raised during the Soviet Union and couldn’t really connect with her culture. I want to ask her more about my Khakas culture but I always feel embarrassed, especially because I don’t look like her side at all (even though I’m half Asian I look fully white lmao)
@LanguagesPro Yenisei Krygz people were Turkic tho not european, their language, culture etc were Turkic, but I can guess why people like you tend to classify them as european 😂
@LanguagesPro The Dingling (Chinese: 丁零) were ancient people who lived in Siberia, mentioned in Chinese historiography in the context of the 1st century BCE. They are assumed to have been related to Na-Dené and Yeniseian speakers,[1] to be early Proto-Turkic people[2][3][4][5] or ancestors of Tungusic speakers among the Shiwei.[a][7][8]
mahmut mahmutoglu Turkic IS Siberian. Siberians are the original Turkic people. The Mongolians used to be Turkic, but they heavily mixed with East Asians, and spread the mixed Turkic/East Asian genes throughout the world creating part Turkic groups (such as ones you find in Central Asia)
@anthony k No. Mongolians came from Turkic people. Turkic people live in Siberia. Mongolians spread the Turkic DNA throughout central asia. Central asians on average are 45% west asian and 55% turkic.
Yeah East Asian expansion to Mongolia is pretty recent. The Mal'ta Boy Masaman mentins and lived in Mongolia 24 000 years ago he was not East Asian. When exactly did the East Asians expand to Inner Mongolia (which is in China) and Mongolia, is a bit dim: it depends if the Xiongnu were East Asians. Before the Xiongnu though Mongolia and Western China were inhabited by Indo-Iranian languages speaking Caucasian peoples.
First of all, we Mongols are not East Asian, we are central Asians from the Ural, Siberia, Baikal and Altai mountains. Uralian people are Mongol people. Stop this non-sense information try to make out that Mongol people are East Asian and different Mongol tribes from western Mongolia are like some kind of a race on its own. The Mongol Empire was vast and as the different Mongol tribes had emerged as their own governed people. For instance, Americans and Australians who are essential Anglo people. They might be from the USA and Australia, people who created their own government and the country does not change their ethnicity. Now people are all trying to divide all Mongol people like some kind of different races. Uralic, Altaic and the other western Mongol people, we are all the nomadic tribes that were united under the name of Mongol. There was no such thing as a Mongol race essentially, so we are all Mongols including people from the Altai and Uralic mountains. Yes, we Mongols have somewhat mixed ethnicity because of our geographical location being in the middle of Europe and Asia. So much false information is circulating on the internet is amazing. But luckily some new evidence is been surfaced to put all this to rest soon. What upset me is there so much anti-Mongol made up history is been taught throughout the world and made us look like these barbaric monsters who raped and eat people and as a result of this false history, the nations who might have some Mongol DNA feel almost ashamed of this origin. We are only Asian race and the biggest Empire that impacted the white privileged world it is not a surprise that they hated us hence taught and created this somewhat feared false history version of Mongols. We never tried genocide or completely wipe out the nations. We accepted them with their religions and beliefs. We left some Mongols behind to govern the country and that was the most we did. That is why there are still Hazara people and many Mongols you see still living on the other side of the world. Besides Mongols done so much for human advancement for trade, cultures to interact and learn from each other etc... Who knows what kind of world it would be today if there was not the Mongol Empire...
Dude, I am rewatching videos, and I think they are great I hope you start doing them again some mentioned you had health problems so if are dead Mey earth not be heavy on you
if you apply this with all the ethnic groups Europeans could declare war only against africans and arabs, since everyone else has too much similarity to Indo-Europeans or is mixed with them

If we survive as a species, some thousands years in the future (nothing compared to our long past) they would be mystified of how many ethnic groups (and relative phenotypic differences) once existed among humans. That is, if any non ephemeral record last to those days to give a perspective.
If aliens found us, they'd probably be surprised at how similiar we all look. Compared to other animals, humans are eerily phenotypically and genetically homogenous. It's probably because we're comparatively such a young species.

Can you do one on Hmong people. I am told they originated from Siberia and migrated south into China and pushed further south into South East Asia. When I look at pictures of Mongols and native Siberians, they all have very similar features. Their clothing and clan patterns also look to have originated from one area (long ago).. Hmong clothing are more similar to that of Mongols and Siberians than the Chinese. Keep up the good work!
Hmong is 苗族 in China.There are 10 millions 苗族 in China. They share more genes with the Southern Han and other southern minorities. The Han nationality has two gene groups, the Northern Han and the Southern Han ( different genes,same culture). Mongols share more genes with the Northern Han Chinese. However, Han civilization developed much faster than the nations around it. The clothing and culture of the Han people often change. Hmong在中国叫苗族。中国有1000万苗族人。 他们与南方汉族和其他南方少数民族共享更多基因。 汉族有两个基因组，北方汉族和南方汉族（不同基因，相同文化）。 蒙古人与北方汉人共享更多基因。 然而，汉族文明的发展速度远远超过周围的其他民族。 汉族的服饰和文化经常发生变化。
So your saying Chinese is not similar to Mongols what about the Chinese who live in inner Mongolia Are they not related? China is big and diverse you know
My ex wife was trying to prove her Jewish ancestry because her grandmother was in a concentration camp and claimed her father was of German Jew ancestry living in Ukraine. My wife's father was Ukrainian and her mother "Russian" from St. Petersburg. The result was kind of a shock since her DNA was mostly Finish, Ukrainian/Russian and some splatter of Nivkh, Iran, Uzbeks and few more I have forgot, no Jew. But this I never told her, is that we are related and DNA confirm's a link to a person in Russia with her family name which is an unusual surname is realated to me. Some Russian/Finnish soldier raped a Swedish Uppland women in the 1809 war and this is the link. Eventually the sister of her grandmother turned up in Siberia married to a Korean. She died shortly afterwards so the sisters never met after the camp experience. The only none Viking DNA I have is forced upon me!

Thank you for covering this topic @Masaman. I've been curious about the Russian interaction/conquest of the Siberian peoples recently. Would you (or anyone) know of any good books on the subject?
Jacob Bowlin I am Siberian. The Russian “conquest” is incomparable to the European conquests in other places. Russians were much better about it. Thanks
Hi there! Bit late with a reply but I’ll recommend “East of the sun” by Benson Bobrick as a good overview and “ The Shamans Coat” by Anna Reid for more of a 20th century focus.
"Oblast" is a district, russian republics are closer to american states. Finno-ugric ethnic groups are widely spread on the territory, for instance "ostyaks" near the Ob river in Siberia.
Most ethnicities in Russia have their own states, like Tatarstan, Shaka, Altai, Bashkiristan, Tuva, Buriatia...So it is like making the Navajo reserve in USA an American state. That is the difference un Russian colonizaron.
Furthermore Russian conquest of Siberia was based, since Siberia held the Rusians long under their boots, unlike in Americas where just random European came to random indo, never seeing each other before.
As an ethnic Siberian native, I wish I could go to Siberia! I always got asked if I'm Chinese at school (I live in Ireland) and we didn't know! I did a DNA test to find out. Thanks for this video, it taught me so much about my history.
Omg!! I never see other Siberian’s on the internet!

My fiance is Native American, and I'm always fascinated to learn more about her ancestry, no matter how distant. Thanks for the info!
Her Ancestry would not be Siberian but rather Native American (2 different Ethnicities)
@@Scarizza he is reffering to the beringian migration a really distant time of migration across an ice age landbridge
@@Scarizza whoah whoah. . . some of those are alleged. Yeah polynesian finding their way to the far shores of the americas is not that farfetched. The vikings did make it there. soultreans or the glacial land bridge hypothesis is just that - conjecture. Africans might have gotten there but no big dick evidence has been found for them. To further my polynesian posit, if they can find easter island they can find the americas. The ancient past is unformed and convoluted almost like those memories of early chilhood.
@@Scarizza no. What im saying is there is single genome ethnicity of Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. Native American is not African, Asian, European or Oceanian but Native American (Alaska to Chile). Yes present day western hemisphere living you will see mixing of genomes (ethnicities)... but there still remains multitudes of single genomes (ethnicities) in mixed person. So no Africans did not contribute to Native American ethnicity (they are 2 seperate ethnicities), no Asians do not contribute to Native American ethnicity (they are 2 different ethnicities) & no Oceanian people largely have not contributed to the Native American genome (they are 2 different ethnicities) with the exception of the Karitiana tribe in the Amazon but still that is only one of the many tribes in the Amazon. So in short Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, Africans, Asians, Europeans & Oceanians are all different major Ethnic groups in the world. Now if someone is "mixed" that is a different subject as much of todays world populations *are of mixed individuals... but those mixed individuals are comprised of multiple single genome markers (ethnicities)
An example: a person participating in Ancestry.com gets 50% Native American, 30% Spanish, 5% English, 5% European Jewish, 5% Congo & 5% Siberian. What this tells clearly is all of the above ethnicities i mentioned as an example are indictive of those ethnicities being their own unique Genome marker and not the same [those ethnicities i mentioned as an example are *actual possible ethnicities one can receive when taking Ancestry.com; which is Number 1 rated]
Yes, the Siberian tribes and the native Americans are very closely related genetically .
So are the Samis, Mansis and Khantys, you all live in tepees.
Native Americans are genetically closer to East Asians than to present day Siberians with the exception to the Kets and other ANE descendants
@@hank4920 that is an interesting point
@@yaknotnud It's not one third of Native Americans that descend from that group, it's that the average Native American (most Native Americans) derives one third of their DNA from that group: so most Native Americans are two thirds East Asian (a majority of their ancestry) and one third ancient/early Western Eurasian (a significant minority). Their East Asian and Western Eurasian ancestors had already mixed in Siberia before they came to America, creating a mixed population (so it's not that there was one fully Western Eurasian wave that came over). Also, the Western Eurasian ancestral component probably came from somewhere around Western Siberia or somewhere just West of west Siberia/northern Eurasia rather than any particular origin in the Levant (The article says that group was related to Europeans and Middle Easterners because those groups are Western Eurasian too.).

This is very interesting as a Finn. We had similar shamanistic practices as many Siberian groups and the DNA is also distantly related. Some of our local shamans today have actually learned a lot from Siberians who were able to keep it more thriving.

No wonder. The original habitat of the Finno-Ugoric people was around the Urals, between the Volga and the Ob rivers. (thats why we are also called as "Uralic") AFAIK the Finns are closer related to the western branch, (like Mordvins or the Mari people, also called Volga-Finns) while Hungarians are more related to the eastern, Ugoric branch (Khanty, Mansi).

actually All Asians(east ,south east asians ,Austronesians,central asians ) including native Americans stem from Same paleo Siberian root
it all began by people around 60,000 years ago who made separate journey from the Middle East Perhaps by following mammoth and bison herds over the Asian steppes, or grassy plains and when they arrived in southern Siberia by 43,000 years ago during that period The isolation of humans in the severe north produced the Mongoloid racial type. This race is best suited to survive extreme cold, with stocky build, small extremities, relatively little body or facial hair, flat faces, and fat padded eyes.
and later as revealed by discoveries of ancient tools Developed during the Neolithic period the retreat of the ice in nomads of the steppes. made Several expansions towards to Asia. who eventually became chinese ,Austronesian,Japanese etc but at same time one particular people who further spread farther north and east Those descendants will make the first trip to the Americas about 20,000 years later

The Native Siberians
many people were displaced by Indoeuropeans: old Europeans (of whom Basques seem to be the only survivors), Dravidians in the north of India, Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians
@Avery Holt absolutely. You were not aware that the English settlers who displaced Australian aborigines from their land are Indoeuropeans (just like most Europeans, except Hungarians, Finns, Estonians and Basques)? Same with the displacement of Native Amerindians in the Americans.
@Avery Holt it is a fairy tale (denied not only by genetic evidence but by the historical record), that Indoeuropean language expanded by peaceful intermarriage between different groups. Tell that to Australian aborigines or Native Americans! The Yamnaya expansion into Europe was also associated in the archeological and genetic records with the disappearance of what Gimbutas called "Old Europe". Same with the expansion of Indo-Aryan languages in India. (that you believe that Sanskrit is the original proto-indo European language shows you are not very up to date in these issues). But if you want to believe fairy tales, that's fine

Excellent work Masaman.

Respect for all the different groups of people around the world.
Well some Siberians came to what is now Canada, as far as the Atlantic. And some of their descendants married French and Scottish soldiers who stayed in Canada after the conquest of Quebec. They are called "Métis", mixed people who adopted European culture.Most Métis probably do not know they are mixed. I didn't until age 75. There exists in Canada today, spread from coast to coast bits of the Siberian genome, probably more in aggregate than before Europeans arrived.

Hey Mason, anthropologist for Siberia and the Far North here! I have some remarks you might find interesting:
1.) Ainu people have been living in southern Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands, not just on Sakhalin (where there are actually about a hundred persons claiming to be Ainu). So no wonder that their genetics are being found around the Okhotsk sea.
2.) Since Russian politics and even social sciences self-censor on the term of 'colonisation' (instead, they use 'voluntary affiliation'. No joke.), it would have been great to dedicate a few seconds to the cruelty with which the Cossacks conquered the peoples of the Northeast. Further reading: contemporary witness Georg W. Steller describing the genocide on the Itelmen people in his travelogue.
3.) Siberian Eskimos are actually remigrants from Alaska. Weird paardox here: first contact with the white man in Siberia was with American, so in Siberian Yupik 'cow' phonetically resembles the English word, while in Alaskan Yupik the same term is a phonetic assimilation of Russian 'korova'.
4.) Pomors are not recognized by Russian legislation as an own people. Moreover, a few years ago there have been raids against Pomor leaders to keep any national movement down.
5.) Chukchees were still not that long ago into bridenapping. Still in the 1950s there were reports on abducted Russian teachers in the region, and even of abducted negro women from Alaska. Not a real contribution to any of your points made, but maybe still interesting, as you obviously have some interest in fun facts of anthropology.
6) Great example of ethnic and linguistic shifts in Siberia are the Soyots: initially having been Sayan-Samoyeds, they have been first turkicized by Khakas and Tuvans (other Samoyedic People thus fled from Southern Siberia to the Far North, see Nganasan people), and then monogolicized. So they have a mix of everything: Samoyedic DNA, a Turkic dialect, and Mongolic customs.
What happened to them what do you mean what happened to them; they are not extinct they are still here you can literally go to Siberia and visit them. And, I highly recommend it. It is a fascinating trip that will reside with you for a lifetime. Also why do people always talk about the Siberians like they are gone.
Cause he's American. He's trying to make an equation: conquest of Siberia = genocide of American Native.
I would like to learn more about the Yeniseian peoples, if possible :) And also, thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
From what I have heard in history class, Native Americans do have distant connections to Siberians, but the Bering Strait land bridge was more like a huge landmass of its own that was somewhat cut off from the rest of north Asia, which is why even though they are the closest relatives to Native Americans, Siberians are still very distinct genetically. Idk
Diego Rentsch the native American are black how can they be original Americans when they migrated that doesn't make sense
William Khumalo what do you mean they’re black? They’re the first people of our species on the American continent to really spread out. They’re not black, they don’t even resemble black people unless they’re mixed.
@@williamkhumalo5325 they weren't black. You just have an identity crisis.
11:02 - you're slightly wrong here. Local culture was never really intentionally "suppressed" in Siberia. In the pre-1917 Russian Empire, the pressure was rather to "civilize" the natives. Nevertheless, they were allowed their tribal self-governance. In the USSR, the local cultures were actually promoted and sponsored. However, the natives mostly suffered because of the ecological policies of the state. There was also some pressure to "educate" the natives in modern professions (like, tailors and tractor drivers), which also adversely affected their culture.
This guy speaks the truth!!!! I'm Siberian, we were never oppressed, just given other possibilities to CHOOSE from. At the end, no one cared if you wanted to stay in clay hut and pray to the river god. It's all stupid Western propaganda to give the view of "racist russia" when they at the same time were lynching blacks and putting Natives in re-education schools.

As a Peruvian with high Native American blood, it’s cool to see how much Native Americans have evolved. And it’s cool to see how the last wave of Siberian’s that are now known as Arctic Native Americans (eskimos) that came to the Americas look less evolved and look more similar to Siberian’s.

Very good video. Thank you. However, there can be no direct comparison between colonisation of Siberia by Russian Empire and colonisation of other continents by Christian nations, especially North America. My own grandfather was from a small Western Siberian people who lived in what is modern Tomsk region. My grandmother's ancestors were the first cossacks who claimed that territory for the Russian Empire in 1602. The history of my family is well documented and I can tell you that there was NO genocide. There was no forced conversion to Christinanity either. My grandfather's ancestors became Christian in 1762, this is 160 years after they were officially counted and recorded for tax purposes and basically left to their own devices. The small peoples of that region before the Russians came paid taxes to Tatar khans who protected them from the nomads. So it was normal for them to swear allegiance to another power and carry on. The number of "conquering Russians", who in fact were ethnically very diverse, was very small they built fortresses and relied on the natives to make up the numbers to protect the new frontier against the nomadic raiders from the south and south-east (called collectively Kirgiz/ though this is not quite accurate, of course). Some more numerous peoples in Eastern Siberia and Russian Far East did put up a resistance. For example, Chukcha people. It took them approximately 150 years to warm up to the other peoples in the Russian Empire, not just Russians. Maybe sometimes the interests of the Empire took precedence over the interests of the native peoples of Siberia, but they were never deiberately suppressed as is evidenced by so many prominent and famous people in Russian history who came from their midst. Over time there were a lot of intermarriages with settlers coming to farm in Siberia from Central areas of the Russian Empire as is evidenced by the tens of thousands of Church records I have studied just for Tomsk region alone. Yes, there were millions of people who made a long journey with their families to resettle in Siberia as many areas of this vast territory are very fertile. The cliche about people ending up in Siberia only against their will is outdated. Think of it as Australia. Yes, they too sent criminals there, but this is only a small part of the country's history. In 1878 in Tomsk there was a University and only 2 prisons. During Soviet Union ethnic minorities as they were called were given a lot of attention including priority for education and development. They were accepted into top universities without exams. Their culture was promoted, they were given opportunity to develop their own literature. Tomsk University has traditionally supported research of Ket and Selkup (very small local ethinc groups) languages and folklore. I spent 5 years in Kamchatka (Russian Far East) as a child. I went to a typical kindergarten along with children of many nationalities including children from local ethnic groups. We learnt about the culture of the local coastal and tundra peoples and their dances, songs and customs, including shamanic. I do remember that the children of the raindeer herders were sometimes forcibly taken from their families to be put into boarding schools. This was done because primary and junior education was compulsory. Compare this to not letting your child go to school in the UK, or even simply letting them play truant - you will be prosecuted, and in worst cases your children will be taken away by Social Services. I also remember that some children were not used to certain foods and complained about digestive problems. Again, the school meals had to be balanced and the same for everyone. Perhaps these issues, and some other ones could have been handled better. But apart from newborn nationalists I can't imagine anyone from the Siberian ethnic minorities who has actually lived during the Soviet times honestly claiming there was a drive to make them extinct. I was brought up to respect every human being, ehtnic group and people and encouranged to learn about them.This would not be possible in the country with a history of colonial arrogance.
Exactly! Ignorant Americans without any knowledge & experience of Russian/Siberian history, make baseless assumptions that Russia = American colonisation. They just fill in the blanks with their own American history. Russia is very “unracist” compared to divisionist politics in America. It has never been subject to any mass ideological issues with regards to racism, since Russians had been in close contact with many other ethnic groups on its modern territory way back in time. That being said, there were armed conflicts before, however, the numbers of deaths were exceptionally small and on both sides. Part of the reason the smaller groups could be easily conquered as part of Russian Empire was because they were in constant fighting in between each other though. The other part was the gradual settlement of Russians further to the east, as the contacts were already established, so the Russian population outnumbered.
Christianity is known for either forced co versions or state mandated conversions. It never adopted the original Hebrew/Israelite (a Jewish, to the ignorant) dictate, straight from the original Bible, of no force. No corrosion. Mo conversion by any means. We lead by example. Not force.
Still colonisation hahaha
Update: lots of Buryats were sent to die in the War for Putin, you russians are the same as the Americans, canadians, British, portuguese, spanish etc, always trying to get rid of minorities, such a shame that this comment has so many likes, only lies and chauvinism
There's no such thing as "good colonisation", if russia is so good to indigenous people, why they dont have any kind of autonomy? Why indigenous leaders in Russia are labeled as "foreign agents"? (the irony in this is almost laughable), people only believe in this because the West is uneducated about Russian colonialism in north Asia, Caucasus and central Asia, Russians are no exception, they're colonialists just like the British.
We moved to Canada. ;) on concert of The Hu in Toronto I was so surprised to see my fellow Siberian First Nations

8. Seychelles-The Seychellois are a creole type group that I think would fit well with this.
9. What is a "Chicano"? (One definition I've studied is that after the Mexican American War, people of Mexican descent living in areas that became the USA remained there and became the indigenous Hispanic culture of the USA. Is there truth to that?)
10. I still think analyzing the people's of the Southeast Pacific would be fascinating. You'd obviously include The Galapagos and Easter Island, but there are other inhabited areas that are really interesting as well.

Bill Y Yes and that’s true, however native Americans are from the very first wave of Siberian immigrants into America

Welcome home my Siberian brothers and sisters. You are not alone, you are a part of the rest of us.
Siberians are northern Asians
@LanguagesPro You stop it!
North asians like Siberians, Finns, Eskimos have Haplogroup N, and very close to Haplogroup O evolutionally!
N&O was divided from Haplogroup K.
Haplogroup Q&R came originally from Haplogroup P that was divided directly from K.
Your Haplogroup C like Mongolians are too far from North and East Asians!
Don't say them to be Mongolians!

What are you talking about? Semoyod Nenets, Turkic Hakas, Altai, Tuva, Sakha, Mongolic Buryat, Halha, Oirat Chukchi people are native Siberian.
"The fact that Russians living in Siberia are descended from Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, etc... does call into the question the ethnic identity of Russians as a whole".
Why? Show me one Europan or other ethnic group that is different in that regard?
Yes, there are very few homogeneous ethnic groups out there. Even the Germans, Italians and French had many different subgroups in the past, and even today to a lesser extent.
Russians are Finno-Ugrics and Turkics who pretend to be Slavs.
It's pretty much the same mess as in EU or USA, different nations which are living together and slowly mixing into each other, not a big deal, from my experience, if you speak fluent russian, you are considered to be russian for russian people, noone really cares what ethnicity you are, it causes a lot of confusion and frustration for a lot of people, because noone really knows what is like to be russian. There is even a funny exception: word ""russian"" is an adjective in russian while ""german,chiness,polish etc..."" are nouns. In fact anyone can become a russian. I see a lot of similarities in this case with USA. Which is funny :)
@@bakuretsutroll There are two seperate words for "ethnic Russian" and "citizen of the Russian federation" that sound pretty similar, isn't there? Also, the EU is not like that. It might be that slowly, and only very slowly, the various peoples of Europe are starting to mix. However, as it stands right now, the EU is comprized of completely seperate peoples. And the EU isn't one country either, it's just a union. No one calls themselves "European" as a term to descrive their ethnicity.
@@virding232 Yes, and I was talking about the word which describses the ethnicity. so? I am living in Netherlands, this country adopted various of cultures. In big cities every 5 th person is a foreigner. A lot of people from France come to Netherlands for example, and I am not even talking about refugies here. It's not about deeper integration just yet, although there are already disscussion on having a mutal EU army for example, the process is indeed slow, but in my opinion it's clearly happening, EU is very mixed up right now. And Russia just started this process ealier. We will all end up mixed up I think in one way or another. People can have different opinions on that, but this is what it is.

Yes Asians mongoloids just wipe out the previous inhabitants or heavily mix them out like they did with the Ancient North Eurasians caucasoids(white people) in siberia and central asia. Or in the case of all of southeast Asia , Indonesia, Japan , Philippines, and possibly the new world Asian mongoloids completely wiped out the Australoid race(think Ainu or Australian aboriginals). They never had the choice to assimilate or live on a res. The people you just mentioned are litetally reverse mestizos.
Andrew Love white people were never the original native siberians. What are you on.

Ian Miles Sorry bro but Native Americans have got Asiatic genes.(C and Q dna haplogroups).
It’s not my personal idea , the studies proved that today Native American people migrated from Siberia.
@@AD-yq8rl Did you not watch the video? The amerindian genome is the result of thousands of years of mixing. Its a combination of Siberian (asian), Ancient North East Asian (divergent western eurasian), and some very small percentage of indoeuropean. Native Americans are related to asians, but they are not asian themselves. Its obvious because asians tend to have flat noses and native americans have noses that project outward, usually hooked roman noses. Its basically a hybrid race that was isolated for thousands of years and became its own thing.
@Ian Miles have you ever seen a native????????
I’m from Siberia. Krasnoyarsk Russia and I look Asian. It’s very interesting to know what I could be and I’ve learned a lot with this video and other videos about Asians in Russia

Good video massaman the last three videos have been great thanks for touching on some points I have been asking about I appreciate it.
I would HIGHLY recommend looking into the history of the Chukchi in particular, because the Chukchi accomplished something pretty crazy - for a short time, at least, they were the natives that won. While the Russians were eventually able to crush pretty much every other tribe, the Chukchi actually beat the Russian invaders several times, to the point where the Russians (from what I've read) abandoned their post in the area, gave up trying to conquer the Chukchi by force, and in the end they actually reached a treaty to grant the Chukchi Russian citizenship in a peaceful manner rather than through conquest. Of course, The USSR's policies hit the Chukchi as badly as they did everyone else in Siberia, but through sheer willpower, positioning, fierce determination, and plain old luck, the Chukchi actually legitimately beat the Russian Empire. (Obviously I'm not an expert on the Chukchi whatsoever, but from what I have read, they've actually had a really neat history.)
@Jiraiya Sennin You’re right, I’m not an expert, just someone who likes to learn. If you could elaborate on where I was wrong, I would appreciate it! (Also, yes, I definitely did use a pretty strong word there - “crush” was probably a bit much.)
@Jiraiya Sennin I see! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this to me, I really appreciate it! I had no idea about the role of religion and how long some groups held onto both Orthodoxy and pagan religions.
@Jiraiya Sennin Firstly, thanks for the information on Yakutia, I didn’t know that and it was neat to hear! As for culture, well, I suppose all I can say is that I think you can preserve your Turkic culture and be a part of the global culture as well. You may live in warmth now, but there are still traditions and customs, stories and celebrations that you can keep alive. Of course, you can’t really stop the evolution of culture and you can’t really cut people off from the “global culture” (besides, there are plenty of modern conveniences that would suck to lose out on), but you can definitely keep your culture alive while not just living in the past, too. The world would be pretty lame if we were all the same, after all, and there are so many interesting places and peoples out there!
I’m sort of rambling, I guess, so I’m sorry. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I don’t think you need to worry too much about what culture you belong to. You’re Yakut, right? And you’re Turkic, and you’re part of the global interconnected world as well. (Defining people by continent like “Asian” or “European” is kind of dumb anyways, I think.) Obviously that’s just my perspective though, the entire concept of “culture” means a lot less here in the United States where I live. But in any case, the world could always use more kind souls like yourself willing to talk and to teach! Thank you for speaking with me.
You got all your facts wrong. Too many, for me to even take time explaining everything from scratch. And there were actually other groups who had quite a few wins during their attacks on Russians.
@@nl4941 Well, how am I supposed to learn the correct facts, then? I've tried doing research on the Chukchi, but there's only so much information out there, and a lot of it is contradictory. Could you at least please point out a couple of the major issues for me, or point me to a site with information about the Chukchi or other Siberian peoples?

I am from Mongolia but my 23andme test says i am 31.3% Siberian. Wierd since both my parents are Mongols and so are their parents (my grandparents).
Because, the Siberians are Mongols.
mahmut mahmutoglu Turkic IS Siberian. Siberians are the original Turkic people. The Mongolians used to be Turkic, but they heavily mixed with East Asians, and spread the mixed Turkic/East Asian genes throughout the world creating part Turkic groups (such as ones you find in Central Asia)
@anthony k No. Mongolians came from Turkic people. Turkic people live in Siberia. Mongolians spread the Turkic DNA throughout central asia. Central asians on average are 45% west asian and 55% turkic.
Yeah East Asian expansion to Mongolia is pretty recent. The Mal'ta Boy Masaman mentins and lived in Mongolia 24 000 years ago he was not East Asian. When exactly did the East Asians expand to Inner Mongolia (which is in China) and Mongolia, is a bit dim: it depends if the Xiongnu were East Asians. Before the Xiongnu though Mongolia and Western China were inhabited by Indo-Iranian languages speaking Caucasian peoples.
First of all, we Mongols are not East Asian, we are central Asians from the Ural, Siberia, Baikal and Altai mountains. Uralian people are Mongol people. Stop this non-sense information try to make out that Mongol people are East Asian and different Mongol tribes from western Mongolia are like some kind of a race on its own. The Mongol Empire was vast and as the different Mongol tribes had emerged as their own governed people. For instance, Americans and Australians who are essential Anglo people. They might be from the USA and Australia, people who created their own government and the country does not change their ethnicity. Now people are all trying to divide all Mongol people like some kind of different races. Uralic, Altaic and the other western Mongol people, we are all the nomadic tribes that were united under the name of Mongol. There was no such thing as a Mongol race essentially, so we are all Mongols including people from the Altai and Uralic mountains. Yes, we Mongols have somewhat mixed ethnicity because of our geographical location being in the middle of Europe and Asia. So much false information is circulating on the internet is amazing. But luckily some new evidence is been surfaced to put all this to rest soon. What upset me is there so much anti-Mongol made up history is been taught throughout the world and made us look like these barbaric monsters who raped and eat people and as a result of this false history, the nations who might have some Mongol DNA feel almost ashamed of this origin. We are only Asian race and the biggest Empire that impacted the white privileged world it is not a surprise that they hated us hence taught and created this somewhat feared false history version of Mongols. We never tried genocide or completely wipe out the nations. We accepted them with their religions and beliefs. We left some Mongols behind to govern the country and that was the most we did. That is why there are still Hazara people and many Mongols you see still living on the other side of the world. Besides Mongols done so much for human advancement for trade, cultures to interact and learn from each other etc... Who knows what kind of world it would be today if there was not the Mongol Empire...
Dude, I am rewatching videos, and I think they are great I hope you start doing them again some mentioned you had health problems so if are dead Mey earth not be heavy on you
Personally this is the best clip so far,,,,, I love history and genetics,,,
“Therefore modern Europeans are more closely related genetically to indigenous Siberians and native Americans.”
No more brother wars 😤
if you apply this with all the ethnic groups Europeans could declare war only against africans and arabs, since everyone else has too much similarity to Indo-Europeans or is mixed with them
That's not true
Maybe true, but there will still be war without them.
Agree!
NutMegaTable 13 Italian was this guys user name. I wrote arab next to it. My bad writing nothing else. I didn't mean italians arabs.
Thought people livin in Malta and southern Italy do have significant middle-eastern mixture.
If we survive as a species, some thousands years in the future (nothing compared to our long past) they would be mystified of how many ethnic groups (and relative phenotypic differences) once existed among humans. That is, if any non ephemeral record last to those days to give a perspective.
If aliens found us, they'd probably be surprised at how similiar we all look. Compared to other animals, humans are eerily phenotypically and genetically homogenous. It's probably because we're comparatively such a young species.
According to recent studies, Finns and Samis actually have a substantial amount of relatively recent Siberian admixture, Finns roughly 6%.
Finns have not got it . It is a lie.
Recent researches tell finns are the lightest ppl in the world.
6% is barely anything
Yes, Nganasan
@@blackcoffeebeans6100 they can still be very light, blonde, blue-eyed, because of the natural selection + that Ngansan part is a very small part anyway.
idk if anyone's pointed this out already but the reconstruction at 2:47 is actually of the 35-40,000 year old Kostenki man; he was a distant ancestor the Mal'ta boy, but predated him by over 10,000 years, before Ancient North Eurasians really developed
Agreed! Malta boy never had a reconstruction and his skeleton was barely complete
Can you do one on Hmong people. I am told they originated from Siberia and migrated south into China and pushed further south into South East Asia. When I look at pictures of Mongols and native Siberians, they all have very similar features. Their clothing and clan patterns also look to have originated from one area (long ago).. Hmong clothing are more similar to that of Mongols and Siberians than the Chinese. Keep up the good work!
Hmong is 苗族 in China.There are 10 millions 苗族 in China. They share more genes with the Southern Han and other southern minorities. The Han nationality has two gene groups, the Northern Han and the Southern Han ( different genes,same culture).
Mongols share more genes with the Northern Han Chinese.
However, Han civilization developed much faster than the nations around it. The clothing and culture of the Han people often change.
Hmong在中国叫苗族。中国有1000万苗族人。 他们与南方汉族和其他南方少数民族共享更多基因。 汉族有两个基因组，北方汉族和南方汉族（不同基因，相同文化）。
蒙古人与北方汉人共享更多基因。
然而，汉族文明的发展速度远远超过周围的其他民族。 汉族的服饰和文化经常发生变化。
So your saying Chinese is not similar to Mongols what about the Chinese who live in inner Mongolia
Are they not related?
China is big and diverse you know
My ex wife was trying to prove her Jewish ancestry because her grandmother was in a concentration camp and claimed her father was of German Jew ancestry living in Ukraine. My wife's father was Ukrainian and her mother "Russian" from St. Petersburg. The result was kind of a shock since her DNA was mostly Finish, Ukrainian/Russian and some splatter of Nivkh, Iran, Uzbeks and few more I have forgot, no Jew. But this I never told her, is that we are related and DNA confirm's a link to a person in Russia with her family name which is an unusual surname is realated to me. Some Russian/Finnish soldier raped a Swedish Uppland women in the 1809 war and this is the link. Eventually the sister of her grandmother turned up in Siberia married to a Korean. She died shortly afterwards so the sisters never met after the camp experience. The only none Viking DNA I have is forced upon me!
Does anyone have the image of the sun god Pugu of the Yukaghires? or something that talks about Yukaghires mythology? why here in Brazil there is very little information.
Thank you for covering this topic @Masaman. I've been curious about the Russian interaction/conquest of the Siberian peoples recently. Would you (or anyone) know of any good books on the subject?
Jacob Bowlin I am Siberian. The Russian “conquest” is incomparable to the European conquests in other places. Russians were much better about it. Thanks
Hi there! Bit late with a reply but I’ll recommend “East of the sun” by Benson Bobrick as a good overview and “ The Shamans Coat” by Anna Reid for more of a 20th century focus.
@@jobrimar8291 Thank you I appreciate it! Also, better late then never. LoL
Who are the Australasians ? I keep digging your channel and can't stop enjoying it, it's awesome ! Wish you the best bro ;)
"Oblast" is a district, russian republics are closer to american states. Finno-ugric ethnic groups are widely spread on the territory, for instance "ostyaks" near the Ob river in Siberia.
Most ethnicities in Russia have their own states, like Tatarstan, Shaka, Altai, Bashkiristan, Tuva, Buriatia...So it is like making the Navajo reserve in USA an American state. That is the difference un Russian colonizaron.
Ahora ya Yeah. Russia was 10000x better with its indigenous people than any western country was
because those people were Horde in the past, who intimidated the Russians 😅
Furthermore Russian conquest of Siberia was based, since Siberia held the Rusians long under their boots, unlike in Americas where just random European came to random indo, never seeing each other before.
