- Who are the people of Oceania and what is their history? Today we'll be looking at the native people of Oceania, the many islands of the Pacific and where they come from, including the Melanesians, Micronesians and Polynesians as well as the people who came before that have since largely been washed away by subsequent migration from East Asia, that being the indigenous inhabitants of Sundaland; a unique race of people related to both native Oceanians such as Papuans as well as indigenous tribal Adivasi peoples of South Asia. Over time, various waves of migration and colonization has created a very unique demographic situation in most of Oceania with connections to people groups in Asia, Europe and even the Americas.

What do you think of indigenous peoples of the former Sundaland and their modern descendants in Southeast Asia and why do you think they have received so little attention from outsiders? Why do you think most people from outside Southeast Asia have no idea they even exist?

Population geneticist here. You really need to update your terminology to current standards in human population genetics. You keep talking about human races, and thoroughly imply in several of your videos (even titles and thumbnails) that human races do exist and that they are biological entities, not social constructs. You come across as deeply racist and the language you use would be rejected in most scientific journals nowadays.
I don't think, i know that you are a liar and fraud.
I noticed that you posted your resources for this video. How about you post your resources for your videos on the Slavs?
Ugh, this is really disgusting. He does, in fact, cite recent papers in human population genetics, which suggests that he is aware of recent discussions about the non-existence of (biological) human races. He just chooses to keep talking about human races because it aligns with his beliefs.
@@Diego20529what do you mean by disgusting?
So glad you're back man. Was about to do some grocery shopping, but it can wait a half hour.
I loled at 1 second... "The Pacific is quite large". Indeed, 35% of the planet and 17x the size of the USA (including Alaska). So understatement. But it only makes Melanesians, Micronesians & Polynesians even more hardcore in my opinion. No way I'm crossing the Pacific in a outrigger!
Makes you question how they found those tiny islands at all and survived on them!!! 😮
@@slimbroski5335I mean, even now at Point Nemo the closest other humans are in space. My best guess is that most of the Pacific islands are in the tropics, so the trade winds are favourable.
melanesians doesnt have seafaring culture btw. those who do are mixed melanesian-austronesian. melanesian mostly are tribal hunter gatherer in papua.
melanesians dont have sea faring culture? So how did We Fijians end up in Fiji? The great flood took us there? How did Fijian Canoes which Europeans noticed end up in Tonga?
@@jukieboy2759 fijian are mixed melanesian-austronesian. the austronesian part of their gene is what bring them to the sea.
The most skilled Seafarers in human history and they derived from South East Asia.
Southeast Asia or Pacific islands? Lol
I don't mind waiting for another Masaman vid as this channel is all about quality not quantity. Great job mate
I'm glad you took a sponsor, I really enjoy this channel and I'm glad you can get some support to make videos
Hallelujah have come back!? We miss you a lot😊 welcome back... From your Brazilian audience 😂
great channel bro
Good to see you back on TH-cam, Really missed watching your videos
last time i was this early, New Zealand was uninhabited
Less than 800 years ago?
@@tbird81 yes
Ohhh I remember, back then every single human incursion was repelled by Lazer Kiwis
What about the old zealand though?
@@antokarman2064 it was inhabited
Early commenter: Melanesian. Finding the small gems to comment on: Micronesians. Go far and wide in commenting on the vast array of topics: Polynesians. Masaman's videos: the canoes that get us there.
Do glad you are back and doing long form vids
cool video
The g is back
Best video you've ever made!
as a polynesian (Hawaiian), great video. i always enjoyed your anthropology videos Masaman
thanks for making the videos mason
Congrats on the sponsorship! As to your question, unfortunately western anthropologists tended to believe in social Darwinism/racist ideologies and so only studied cultures like these with the assumption they would go extinct like the dodo. As a history teacher in the US I can attest that our global history curriculum doesn’t even touch on the Pacific until the age of exploration, and even then Hawaii is barely a mention until WWII.
Wake up, babe. A new Masaman video dropped
DUDE, this is the video I've been waiting for!!!
Always interesting videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As usual a great video. Thank you.
Awesome video, sir
So nice to see you back
hey look who made a vid!
Masaman, your videos are always brilliant and amazing, and this one is too. Glad to see you keeping up the fantastic work! And glad to see you're back!
Fascinating, thank you!
Hey, im from PNG (coastal) and I think you got it pretty right as far as the definitions used. It's confusing because as you mentioned, there is a lot of overlap, be it ethnically, linguistically, culturally etc.In general terms, most coastal peoples in PNG speak Austronesian rooted languages or have them mixed in with whatever existed in that region.
Trivia note: The U.S. game show The Amazing Race has been on for 36 Seasons, & yet they have been to French Polynesia for only 1 of them; Season 22 (which aired back in 2013).
Great job Masaman! Very good way of making a conscise video about a variety of topics I had previously suggested. I honestly and truly was relieved when you went through all of them and stated the right details for them! Here are a few more ideas for the next one:
1. Aboriginal Australians (specifically by themselves) + the Palawa Cultural Revival in Tasmania
2. Sumerians and modern day populations
3. Canaanites and Neolithic Levantive Populations
4. *While we obviously don't know a whole lot about many of the extremely ancient cultures going back tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, it'd be interesting to see a video describing what we do know about the obscure histories and cutures of these populations.
5. The indigenous cultures of the Phillipine Archipelago.
6. Expanded look at the cultures of the Eastern India/Bangladesh/Myanmmar area beyond just the Royhingas.
7. Populations in the world whose genome actually has a few unique biological differences from the rest of humanity (Yaghan tolerance for cold, Bajau spleen enlargement for exteneded underwater diving, Tibetan high altitudes adaption, etc.
8. What happened to the Normans?
9. Who are the PEOPLE of the Galapagos Islands? *We often hear about the animals there, but what about the culture of the South American colonists to the islands? Likewise, it'd be wise to look at the Juan Fernandez Islands in the same way as well. So, Insular Chile.
10. Thought experiment about your take on hypothetical human colonization of the Solar System.
11. The indigenous peoples of Southern California, the Baja Peninsula, and ultra Northwest Parts of Mexico.
12. Something interesting with how the island of Svalbard is developing it's own unique population as we speak.
13. Vepsians, Votians, and peoples of the Karelia area of Russia that borders Finland.
14. Cultures and ethnicities of micronations.
15. How South Koreans and North Koreans are starting to diverge culturally and ethnically beyond just nationality.
16. Ainu (specifically by themselves)
17.Ethnic groups that are starting to be formed as a result of current conflicts in the world, and the potential direction they could go.
18. Sao Tome and Principe
19. Haida Gwaii
20. Métis of Canada
21. The Scots-Irish of Northern Ireland
22. Other lesser known peoples of the British Islands
23. Afrikaners of Southern Africa
24. Pied-Noires
25. What if other archaic humans survived until today?
26. What happened to the Guanches of the Canary Islands?
27. Charrúa of Uruguay
28. Impact of Esperanto on the world and the specialized global sub community it created (Neutral Morsenet/Amekijo Proposal)
29. People of The Seychelles
30. More "What happened to...?" and "What if...." videos!
We might see an Esperanto-speaking community in the future in a space colony somewhere. That would be cool.
Good suggestions! 👍 👍
@@shzarmai thx!
I would easily pay to watch many of these suggestions from Massaman. Especially to see an analysis on the Sumerians!
How about a video on the genetics of South East Asian and Australian aborigines?
Good to see you back man. Haven't seen you in 2 years.
Excellent video, Thanks
Thanks Masaman, this is one of, if not the best video I've seen so far on this topic.
Nice to see that Mason is still alive. Godspeed.
Brilliant video, amongst your finest.
You narrate the story of our species brilliantly, all illuminated with those wonderfully colourful, dark-background maps and the iconic photos of individuals and groups.
Good to have you back man !!
Mixed European and Polynesian (and Japanese too) 💪
Mixed Asian (Filipino) and Micronesian (Chamorro) cheehoo!!
@jasonsan6708 joke from Hawaii: did you hear about the half filipino half hawaiian? He wants to do yard work but no have any land.
@@pepperonish bruh 💀
@@pepperonish biden: comon maaan
Wow, how long. Glad you are back.
Another banger 🔥🔥
Baby calm down calm down
He’s back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Masaman, do you have a source for the ryukyuan settlers in micronesia? This is something I've never heard of before, despite having studied a lot of okinawan history
Excellent, thanks.
Yoww! glad to see you back.
Nice video 👍
Nothing like a good Masaman video to enjoy your weekend. Salute bro! You really been putting in work since a young man and its been fun watching and learning along with you. This is a nice little community and wonderful break from all the nonsense being pushed in traditional spaces of our media. Just nice data and research.
Oh yeah! Can't wait for this
most underrated group (& channel)
We might see an Esperanto-speaking community in the future in a space colony somewhere. That would be cool.
Im a pacific islander from Micronesia 🇫🇲 ❤️❤️
Thank you for the Thousand Island Addressing!
great
Me throwing fists in the air when I see a new Masaman video. YESSSS.
Great video, I was wondering if you can make a video about the bashi basiuks. Also a video about the Italian diaspora in the world.
Right on, im Hawaiian and been learning alot from dis and sending all kine information around w frens rn
It’s about time that we SOLD OUT
Masaman HAS FALLEN!!!
16:15 contact perhaps preceded the Portuguese, many Yolngu will have austronesian loan words due to trading with the Makassar people
Wake up, babe,
New Masaman video just dropped.
Wow... masaman is back .. greetings from north borneo
You should make a video about the voyage of Polynesians from Tahiti to Hawaii. It’s a vast distance
Commenting for algorithm
I have always said that Pacific islanders were as brave and ingenious as the people who went to the moon.. to pack up, put all your family and belonging into a boat and sail out into the pacific without knowing what was out there is just mind blowing.
For some reason, i can't see this video on your channel's home page
edit: now realise it is unlisted
why though
Cool when is the ethnic world map coming out
Never miss a video!
masaman the goat
"Introducion" really sounds like a nice word,
You didn’t seem to state that the Papua New Guinea has major DNA differences between those living in the interior Highlands and those Austronesian who settled coastal areas but were not able to conquer/settle the Highlanders. If you have read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond - you must!
Oceania has there own fine and great history when it comes to navigation, finding, tracking, hunting, fishing, whaling, hawking, camping, tracing, digging, gathering, collecting, settling, trading, selling, buying, renting, sharing, showing, telling, and more they may of had some wars, fights, battles, and or combats with another but they usually did not have as much of a push back until the arrivals of Western Europeans And East Asians yeah.
Thanks for the information and. it's interesting of how isolated of these islands. What about other small islands who lived similar in the other areas. So what will be the lesson of getting more territories who doesn't belong to any countries?
Was just wondering about you. Your voice definitely sounds a little different
You showed a map of voyages from NZ back to Pacific Islands. This sounds logical, but is there any evidence? Love your work
Have you uploaded your new maps anywhere?
Denisovan DNA
Please do another Masamen census 😭😭 everybody is claiming for it
I was in Kosrae for a week and there were frogs. It's over 1000 miles to the mainland and I have no idea how they got there. 5°N 163°E.
I wonder where you got the info that the native language terms for Polynesia predate the Greek-coined word. It would be amazing to have such an evidence of a common Polynesian consciousness predating European arrival, but I can't find the source for that.
k
Don't forget the people of Wallacea or whats now "Eastern Indonesia" (Maluku Islands,East Nusa Tengarra,and East Timor) also have Melanesian Ancestry and according to AncestryDNA even have Polynesian Ancestry.
My old 2017 AncestryDNA results as a half Moluccan:

🙂 papuan here w 26%polynesian and 8%filipino ancestry.😭 (And 9% European)according to my 23&me
which part of niu gini
@@thvtsydneylyf3th077 Lae and manus that's where my parents are from
Both of them are Austronesian speaking Melanesians,So that explains the polynesian and Filipino the European I don't know
@@thvtsydneylyf3th077Lae and manus
think "dennis"oh"vins",not"denise"oh"vins",great work,kid. Q
I always wondered if Polynesian ever got in contact with Abos
today many of them b a n g abos in oz
Ah, West Papua is slowly being overtaken by Indonesia and their treatment is similar to how the Palestinians used to be treated a year ago
Indonesia deliberately broke up West Papua into 4 regions to make it easier
Actually six
Indonesians should know better they've been through colonialism, but choose to inflict it on their own.
@@ANTSEMUT1 some have chinese blood so for them, money comes before human and animal.
Maybe Land of Mu really existed back in the days before the sea level rise
Hi
TIL from the first map that New Zealand is just a couple hundred miles away from the Indian ocean.
You forgot to mention the island of Las Vegas, another Polynesian island that's technically outside of Polynesia 😂
AAAAAAAAAAAAA, AN AWESOME TH-camR AND AN AMAZING GROUP AAAAAAAAAAA
kontiki
There's an interesting documentary of a lost peoples of New Zealand. "Skeletons in the cupboard- The Redheads". Plus pt2. It would be great to hear your insights on the topic. Great video
That topic is sadly a, hot potato
At the same time, its common knowledge that there are New Zealand Redheads & Blonds. Masa could go along the common knowledge route of the topic. @@ianrobson9601
Part 2 appears to discuss the ProtoSundaland ppls inhabiting New Zealand. A favorable topic
That subject is not an hot potato! It's very well documented that whole series things become hot potatos and situations to be debunked when they find out so called black people where there first or started a culture . That series shows black people were in they America first defined Australisian blood before any other add mixtures the red heads and middle Eastern escape routes following ancestral routes All the way to they so called America's!! Well documented and proven through DNA that there trying to erase.
wooohoooo
This whole time I've been pronouncing your name as "Massa Man," without a second thought. My poor ancestors must be howling!
I wonder if the north sentilese have any distinct genetic diseases that are not present in the main human gene pool.
Austronesian pride 💪
I am of Fijian, Tongan, Chinese, and german and Welsh mix. There is a lot of chinese influence in the Pacific.
It’s funny I was hoping for another video about Oceania. About 10% of my DNA is from Guam and I’m always looking to look more into that. I guess I consider myself Euronesian because of the very slight admixture that’s visible in my appearance. West Europe, Southeast Europe, and Guam is where my ethnicity estimates come from
As much as i find the history of my seafaring ancestors the Austronesians both interesting & fascinating. I feel bad knowing they are the reason why NZ's megafauna like the haast eagle & giant moa went extinct : (
What about Polynesian colonies in archaic Alaska, Aztec origin site? Tlingit, Nahuatl cultures
go on.. you seeem to know a lot... go on then we're waiting..
Yeah some of them look more typical Australoid while others look more average Negroid and others more Paleo Mongoloid and even a select few appearing to look Neo Mongoloid the latter probably due to some East Asian admixing mostly from The Japanese And Okinawans very few look Caucasoid though yeah.
I wonder at which point did the Polynesians get their Papuan DNA if they're saying that the Lapita skeletons found were mostly unmixed SE Asians. They must've mixed after they found settlements in Samoa and Tonga.
