- What are the origins and genetic history of the Dravidians, India's oldest surviving people? Though a touchy subject, the history of the continent has always been one of migration, assimilation and conquest, and the genetic history of Southern India and all of South Asia is possibly more complicated than any other region.
Putting aside political controversies, today we will look at the real history of the Dravidians, their relation to the surrounding groups such as the Indo-Aryans, natives of Southeast Asia and the much older groups of Adivasis and Veddas still scattered in the interior. Thanks for watching!

God, the Dravidians just had to take the coolest name in history
As a North Indian i look to South India with great admiration for being the centre of culture and developing the great carnatic music and the dance forms that have become the symbol of Indian culture around the world. Love and respect from Himachal.
The people of South India are also some of the greatest architects on earth, the temples of the region are world wonders. These edifices balance design, size and artistic details wonderfully, and should be considered on par with the more widely discussed architecture of Europe and East Asia.
My mother tongue is Telugu. I found Japanese extremely easy to speak and understand. I recently found out that Japanese and Telugu share a unique feature of ending every word and sentence with a vowel and use agglutination. There's an absurd amount of similarities between the two languages in terms of spoken-structure, not vocabulary.
The theory that Dravidian languages are related to Korean/Japanese actually makes sense. If you compare Tamil and Korean, there are quite a few words that have similar pronounciations and meanings. For example, the word "day" has the same pronunciation/meaning both languages.
I'm a Tamil native and I watch a bit of anime, and I've noticed similarities in certain words and expressions of the Japanese language with Tamil. Glad to see it wasn't just me!
Man I've lived in Australia for more than a decade and traveling through the country and meeting indigenous people and their languages it's sounds so close to Tamil , they look similar to Tamil people as well ,I'm so sure there must me a Dravidian influence on Australian indigenous people.
I am a tamil south Indian and watch a lot of Korean dramas and I noticed there are many like seriously like many similarities in the Korean language with the Tamil language
I love my Chocolate Asiatic Brothas from South India.
Malayali is what the people are called, Malayalam is the language
As I've said before the sheer amount of information that is presented is nuts in any video presented by Mason. It is just impressive dude. I studied Anthropology and Archaeology at Uni but this takes years of research to learn and present. So much respect.
Wow! You dealt with a complex subject and multiple issues in a very succinct and informative way. Nice job ! Did you make this video as part of a college research study?
The Andamanese have been found to have the closest DNA relationship to the Ainu of Japan than any other group. This is almost certainly not because one group traveled to the other location, but because they both represent branches of a very early human settlement of Asia.
I came to watch because I'm half Tamil(a Dravidian ) and half Austranesian
Thank you Masaman for your channel offering us dense and sharp insight on the human trajectories.
Excellent presentation, after a great deal of research in depth. Thank you for posting.
A big warm thank you for making this video😍😍 The moment you say India, people usually associate it with Hindi , Bollywood, Holi etc. Thank you for the rare spotlight & thoughtful represention of our Dravidian culture, langauge, genetics to show that India is more than aforementioned stereotypes.😉😉
Man I love this channel, such a breath of fresh air , not many like it.
Very interesting . My Parents were born in Mauritius and both Telagu. I think my family originally came from Andrapradesh before they went to Mauritius when slavery was abolished.
Africans from Somalia-Sudan region known as Australoids migrated to India and mixed with migrating Iranian farmers, this formed Indus valley civilization, after the fall of the civilization, they migrated South probably because of invading Aryan groups. Today, the group of Iranian farmers mixed with Australoids which is now mostly living in South India and commonly known as Dravidians are called ASI. The invading Aryans mixed Northern Indians which made themselves the higher caste is known as ANI.
