- Just how Austronesian is the country of Japan? Japan is certainly a fascinating nation with a glorious and dark past just as all major nations, having transformed from a rural peasant kingdom to one of the greatest industrialized counties of all time, but they actually have quite an interesting history of migration to their islands.
In today's video we'll be discussing some of the history of ancient migrations and how this has impacted the genetics and culture of the modern Japanese or Yamato people throughout the islands. Thanks to Evan Pangaribuan for suggesting the video topic (a lot).

Japanese of the Ryukyu Islands certainly have some Austronesian ancestry. Northern Japanese will naturally have less.
@BenziX it were suggested that Hayato, Kumaso and Azumi tribes were Austronesian www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-the-historical-Hayato-people-of-Japan-spoke-the-Austronesian-language/answer/Alexei-Muraki?ch=10&share=82941978&srid=uYTUl
I was hoping he’d talk about this
To be precise, they are people from Tohoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa.
Austronesians are some of the most interesting people groups in my opinion.
without out them the world would be very very different.
The actual original Taiwanese people were actually austronesians before the han chinese, dutch, and Japanese got there!
edge lord Japanese were on Taiwan?
@@whoreofdragonstone1031 Taiwan was under Japanese rule fro. The end of the 19th century to the end if WW2
Yea i think it is very cool how they settled islands deep into the pacific ocean.
Real lineage of Japheth right there.
No I would say South Asian people are very different from others culturally and racially as well
Never stop uploading. Best anthropology videos.
Agreed, these videos are fascinating.
Really the only ones sadly
Masamans the man!
@@bhg123ful my man, masaman
doesnt age well.
I’m fascinated by the Jōmon people. They seem to have existed since before many submerged archaeological sites disappeared under the waves.
Can you elaborate on the "under the waves" part? Are you talking about the Ice age when the the coastlines were different? I read that the first humans probably came to Japan when it was connected to Korea via a land bridge during the Ice Age.
@@brettfafata3017 yes, When Japanese islands were connected not only to Korea, but to Okinawa and Taiwan and all the way down to Philiphin and other South East Asian islans too.
those Jomons didn't come from Korea, but rather followed the coast line during the ice age.
when the ice age was over, and the Japan became island. there was no more influx, until the continental people developed ships that were big enough to cross the strait between Korea and Japan.
that's why some Indonesians looks a like Japanese there not only Austronesian but Austroasiatic too connection thai/cambodian/viets to Japanese ..
@Joseph Rabozzi The Ainu are not totally descended from the Jomon as well - they later admixed with native Siberians from the mainland.
When it comes to your alternative history scenario - it's very much possible that the culture in Japan would be completely different if they stayed Jomon, and by our modern racial standards they would probably be categorized as a different race from other East Asians. But I bet that Japan would be an undeveloped country like Papua New-Guinea is nowadays....
@Joseph Rabozzi Ainus have more Jomon gene than the modern Yamato-Japanese do but instead they have less Jomon culture...
Hi, Masaman
I am a Japanese from southern Kyushu. I tested my DNA and found my Maternal haprogroup is B4xxxxx which is the typical of Austronesian and Native American. They say this type is existing in Japan thousands of years from Jomon period especially in southern Kyushu.
I just want to add that southern Kyushu (Kagoshima,, Miyazaki, Oita and Okinawa) people have very distinctive family name groups. I mean if rank the top ten family names of each prefecture, these prefectures have very unique family names not similar to any other area of Japan. Historically ancient Japan, each regions is very tribe oriented and did not accept or mix with outsiders. So there are something we can think.
There are many sign of Austronesian culture in Japan. -- loincloth -- is the oceanic culture, not from Korea or China. Also they say repeating the same word in Japanese is similar to Austronesian culture, they say.
Japanese pronounciation is same with Buginese language. They use final open syllable.
For example:
Hotel
Japanese: Hoteru
Buginese: Hotele
I think hoteru and hotele are loaned from "Hotel". In Malay, we also call hotel as hotel lol.
@@niktan606 I think they were talking about the words ending in vowels
@@fighterfighter9340
lol
maksa banget bro jauh bunyi atau vowels dengan pengertian nya.. tapi ada bener nya juga..
that it may proves like the minahasa north selawesi tribes along with bugisnese and most philippines tribes are related with those ancestry in east asia
Eeey..
then we might be related..
regards from the minahasa tribe 😁
Japan has always fascinated me.
Hey Masaman, thanks for the time and effort you put into to these videos. Perfect length, great content.
To English speakers．
Jomon- Austronesian offspring is like Celtic.
Yayoi - so called East Asian is like Anglo Saxon.
Modern Japanese people is mixture of Jomon and Yayoi.
Ethnic minorities in Japan are more Jomonic people than the majority.
But both of them share the base culture thus the country can remain united without conflicts to each other
well, more like European invasion of North America.
Jomon's are Natives, and Yayoi's are Europeans.
Most Jomon's are killed off, few intermarried or driven to North Eastern Corner of Japanese Islands.
@Charles Huang China never colonised Japan as Spain did to Mexico. Some Chinese certainly did settle in the Japanese archipelago, mainly are those Min Chinese in the Ryuku Islands. But it is doubtful that Yayoi people originated from Han Chinese, though there were Torajin like the Hata clan that was from China.
@Charles Huang I mean, Han Chinese have never conquered Japan successfully, both militarily, linguistically and genetically. They remained a minority within the archipelago, and they were those to be assimilated.
That is too over simplified which is what I think the video illustrates...
You are unfortunately uneducated and you believe myths believed among Chinese.
The fact is opposite. The vast amount of Chinese vocabulary today is from Japan because most of professors in Beijing University which was The China’s first modern university studied abroad in Japan when it was established in the early 20th century.
Confucian never became a part of Japanese culture in general.That’s basic knowledge.What you are saying is like saying that Japan is Christian culture for the very minority who accepted Christianity.
You don’t understand the definition of language.
Japanese is in a completely different language family from Chinese.
There was no big immigration from China into Japan
You seems like believing that you are Chinese
But there is no Chinese people and Chinese culture in the world just like there is no African culture and African people.
China is a name of land, not a group of people.
These videos make me realize how hilariously inadequate our modern lexicon of racial categories are. The human race is truly irreducible.
The speed of changing culture.
The speed of changing language.
The speed of changing apperance.
All of them are different.
For example,
If you adopt a different criteria, however caucasian they become, Hungarian are Asian.
Depending on criteria, everything can be classified differently.
The racial lexicon from Europe is based on physical appearance and religion.
For example, if somebody is caucasian and from the christian country, he/she is white.
But they don’t think somebody who look European but came from the middle east and is Muslim is White.
The human “race” is as irreducible as color. Hurr durr, different colors do not exist because there are no clear-cut boundaries between them!
Idiotic.
@@anynomous7228 To reduce the different groups of people to mere colours is the peak of willing ignorance.
Since ww2, with the help of corporate globalist education the study has transformed what used to be a science into cultural taboo.
Just because we are different doesn't mean conflict needs to be created out of it.
By trying to bury the facts of the matter, you serve an injustice to all subgroups of people.
Truth triumphant!
@Fuck Netanyahu What? I'm anti Mixing?
@Fuck Netanyahu I just said I agree?
Are you a little slow in the head mate?
There were also Tungusic tribes such as the Saeki (佐伯), who were based in Kantō and Hokuriku, and Nivkh tribes such as Mishihase (粛填), who were based in northern Japan. The Nivkh people interacted with the Ainus who were also in northern Japan, and came into contact with a Southern Tungusic people known as the Orok.
I'm very interested in Japanese linguistics and I've often seen the claim of Tungusic people in Japan, but I've never seen any proof of it. How do they know they were Tungusic? From what I know there are no surviving texts in these languages.
@Millenial Pigeon My thinking is that because "Tungusic" is a linguistic grouping, one would have to have some record of their language before confidently classifying them. Idk, maybe there some topographic evidence or something.
Japanese itself belongs in the macro Altaic family , but alot of intermixing with Austronesian
@@lexxypexxy2831 austronesian small influence only in kyushu not all japan.
Hmmm, but both Japanese and Koreans have haplogroup O1b2, the para-austroasiatic lineage while the austroasiatics are O1b1. Could Japanese be a para-austroasiatic language with an Austro-Tai substrate (since both Austronesian and Tai-Kayak are O1a) (and since the Japonic languages were from the Yangtze with both the Tai-Kadai and Austronesian, and a Koreanic superstate? And is Koreanic and the Goguryeoic be Tungusic, since North Korea, where Goguryeo was, was not suitable for agriculture and thus had to be at lease semi nomadic like the Tungusics?
SEA-npai!
lol
Masaman never once mention how East Asians have the Edar Genes and Shovel Shape Teeth that are affiliated with Edar Genes.
O U T ! !
lmao!
Do you Mean Kakashi senpai
Austronesian here (Malay from Malaysia), I'm always happy to hear Masaman talk about the Austronesians.
Austronesian speaker here frm Micronesia❤️
@masaman great job! I love your videos, I don't know of anywhere else one can study this kind of information wrapped into a video.
Great topic and great presentation.
The Austronesians preferred southern travel maybe because of the weather. Agbiag dagiti pulitayo! (Mabuhay ang lahi natin)
Lol. Because northeast people more rough, look at southern china and Taiwan now completely Han. Austronesian and Austroasiatic people more friendly, warm and avoid conflicts. That's characteristics of southeast Asian.

Always excited for a new vid
Fascinating!
Would be awesome if you could cover the Paleosiberian people and the languages they speak as they are often glossed over and rarely talked about. With many language isolates and more than several language families in the region, it is not known whether they are genetically related (linguistics). For all we know, some of these Paleosiberian languages could be related to other languages such as Korean, Nivkh, and the language spoken by the Xiongnu.
AFAIK, these language families are: Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Nivkh, Yukaghir, Yeniseian, and Eskimo-Aleut. The Eskimo-Aleut family is especially an interesting one because it is spoken not just in Alaska and the Canadian Arctic but also in Siberia. In 2015, it was also noted that Northern Tungusic languages have Eskimo-Aleut loanwords, suggesting that Eskimo-Aleut was once much more widely spoken in eastern Siberia.
Eskimo-Aleut is not usually considered Paleo-Siberian
Japan has one of the most fascinating historical events in the world. The country itself is beautiful too.
Didn't expect you here since this is not an anime video
Hey
@Anthony Suarez lol
fucking weeb
You are everywhere.
Man! If the whole of Austronesia gets united, you would be a valuable factor!
@竜巫 | Siwaga Miriko family... Not religion
Malayo-Austronesia (Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia) already tried it once but failed due to stuff, search up maphilindo.
it's not that complicated.
Jomons are people who entered Japan during the ice age, when the sea level was much lower, and humans can walk into Japan.
Yayois are people who enterred Japan after the ice age, when Japan became island, and humans had to develop sea going ships to cross the strait between Korea and Japan. it took humans very long time to develop ships that are capable of crossing sea after the ice age. so Jomon people had long period of isolation from continental influence.
Well austronesian did first. The first to seafare across Pacific Ocean
@Sheila Vil Ainu people are one of the Jomon culture. These Austronesian people came into Japanese islands during the Ice Age, when there was land bridges, so they could just walk in. When the Ice Age was over, these people spread over the entire islands, but isolated, and each tribes developed their own cultures. Ainu were just one of those hundreds (if not thousands) of small tribes of Jomon people. some of them even went over to Sakhalin islans and crossed over to the Eastern shores of Siberia.
@Sheila Vil that's what I said. Jomon came from South East Asian Island, when they were connected to Japan during the Ice Age. Australia, Indonesia, Phillipins, Taiwan, Okinawa, Japan were all connected by land bridge back then.
@Sheila Vil you are mistaken. Ainus were brown skinned people. today, there is no pure blood Ainu people left. If you want to see what real Ainu looked like, you have to go back 200-300 years, at least. take a look at paitings created by Japanese artists depicting Ainu people created 300 years ago. Ainu's are always depicted as dark skinned, compare to fair skinned Japanese.
today's light skinned Ainu's are mixed blood, not real Ainus.
@Sheila Vil as I said, you should search for paintings of Ainu people by Japanese artist created 300 years ago. there are several.
And these Ainu people on those paintings look like Australian aboriginies with dark skin, short very cruly black hair. Ainu people today are very mixed race, and do NOT represent their true origin.
I had never even heard of the Hayato/Kumaso until today
Japanese thinks people from southern Kyushu often have distinct face and the image about them is unconscious remain of sense of being different.
@Daisy Wong.
First of all, I think that Han Chinese is a self brainwashed term to define themselves.
I have been travelled many regions in China and from the view point of anthropology, roughly speaking, depending on regions , they are living like different ethnic groups and I believe the true Han is only from 華北.
The southern Chinese who believe that they were Han can be classified into different ethnic groups from anthropology viewpoint.
Speaking accurately, all thorough History, Han from west-north gradually has been conquering different groups of people in South.
I know that they feel they are so different to each other even today.
I think that demographically, prehistoric immigration from China was not big but big impact on diet like rice harvesting came from Chiang Jiang river down stream area.
When I travelled the Chiang Jiang river down stream area, I admit that influence on diet from the area to Japan was big although demographically not so many people seemed not to have come to Japan from there because compared to the big impact on diet, there is no linguistic influence from China.
If prehistoric immigration from China has been big, Japanese language would have been in Sino-Tibetan family.
But that never happened.
In Japan, we still eat of a lot of taro. this is a remain of diet before rice coming.
I generally agree with you.
The idea ‘ Chinese people’ or ‘ Chinese culture ‘ was coined by 孫文.
Before 孫文, roughly speaking, China was just a name of land.
But now political ideology is making a fiction that ‘ Chines history was 5000 years but that’s not true.
In the land of China, history is about 3700 years.
Even if you include 夏, it won’t be up to 4000 years.
In prehistoric era, There were neither a country China nor country Japan nor a country Korea.
We are often biased so much by the modern concept of country and ethnicity.
@@ForUploadin I agree
@Daisy Wong There is no Chinese ethnic group. It isn't even a linguistic group as well. And the Japanese royal family have not been dna tested yet. However, it is true that the Yayoi assimilated the Jomon. about 90% of Japanese DNA is of Yayoi origin.
Entertaining as always and I always learn something new I didn't know before.
Wonder if sumo wrestling is related to Polynesian wrestling.
Can be.
Everything that has to do with primitive Shinto, not Shinto ordered by the ancient government can be related to Austronesian heritage.
Probably more inspired by earthquakes.
No, it's Yayoi that brought this to Japan.
Sumo is a Goguryeo's origin!
I don’t think Polynesians had ancient wrestling traditions.

Love these guys and their music
Nicely done! Have found out my paternal side is of Sakhalin island lineage. i.e. Ainus
Bro these videos are awesome! There's nobody else that I can think of that does videos on this kind of stuff. Keep going with the content mate 👌
In relation to the video, I think it's quite interesting to learn of potential similarities and roots that Austronesian groups share with some Japanese (particularly in the south as explained in the video). I've always thought Japan was more isolated and had no thought of it being related to the wider world. (The Altaic connection was a bit... unconvincing). Anyway love from Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️
If Japan never go to WW2, Taiwan, South half of Sakhalin and all Kuril Island chain will be part of Japan, at least All Kuril Island not just original 4 Island. Sakhalin and kuril island where Ainu lives, Some japanese have Ainu blood, or Ainu who are became assilimate into Japanese and Intermarried with Japanese.
They didn’t have a choice in the matter. It was go to war or roll over for the US
Not sure about sakhalin islands,but the rest yes. Tojo was not the smartest person out there,the greedy spoke louder to him. Japan is really lucky to still have Okinawa and Hokkaido today.
Interesting!
Dear Mason, please make a video solely regarding the indigenous peoples of Melanesia, papua, Australia, and Tasmania.
Next video is most likely going to be over Pacific Islanders
I second this!!
PM ScroMo but the very concept of a racial group is sketchy at the very least and terribly vague and unhelpful at worst.
PM ScroMo theres is a simple solution:
Koori is that person’s ethnic group.
Their ancestry is based on their genes which we can mark based on haplogroups.
@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns it's Polynesians and Melanesian, those are the 2 racial groupings of the Pacific
Wow cool, thanks for accepting my req, dude. Btw as an Indonesian native speaker, i watched many Japanese movies or animes for many years and i found some simmiliar words in Indonesian and Japanese such as aku, boku, ikan, sakana, baik, hai, siji (javanese), ichi, anda, anata, suka, suki
Thanks for being a loyal viewer. It took me a while, but I got to it haha
@@Masaman lmao the way you edited the video made it seem like this dude died
Why don't you reach out for Paul from Langfocus for a video on Indonesian-Japanese linguistic connections? :p He's just published a video on Indenesian/Filipino, so why not
In filipino we have karaoke, tansan, shabu, kirey, kampay, among others.
This is trivial, but there are also some Javanese words that sound Japanese but don’t mean the same thing like: saiki=now iki=this ora=no

I did the 23andme and I just got my results, I'm a 5th Japanese American with all my relatives from Hawaii. They migrated in the late 1890's to Hawaii from Japan. It says I'm 93% Japanese, 7%Korean with no recent Korean ancestry, my Paternal Haplogroup was D, subgroup D-M55, Subgroup D-M125 which was linked to the original migrants to Japan with the Jomon/Ainu from Hokkaido in the North. My Maternal Haplogroup was G which was also found in Hokkaido and is frequent in the Jomon/Ainu. Somewhat different than other Japanese with different Haplogroups.
it explains why my Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa didn't look like your typical Japanese/East Asian person.
Shalawam, you may be an Isrealite of Gad or Dan of the north kingdom. There is lots of facts on this, Shinto religion, certain traditions and language. Many Japanese (the non-Korean types) went through the curses of Deuteronomy 28.

Historical cause
At that time, the Xia Dynasty had not been established, and there was no concept of a country. Before the Xia Dynasty, some brown races in Fujian developed slowly, and the Central Plains culture did not involve the Fujian region. Around the Spring and Autumn Period, the first slavery country, the "Kuo Lou Kingdom", was established in Fujian. Until the early years of the Qin Dynasty, after the Qin destroyed Chu and Yue, it continued to invade the Fujian region. At that time, the southernmost point of the Yue Kingdom was Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province, and further south was the category of the "Bulou Kingdom". "The Kingdom of Bulou" all over the country desperately resisted the invasion of the Qin Dynasty, but it was ultimately defeated. Part of the brown race fled to Taiwan, and the remaining "Gulou citizens" accepted the subsidiary rule of the Qin Dynasty.
After the fall of Qin, the "King of Fulou" was free again, but the time limit was short. Soon Liu Bang's army invaded the border of the Kingdom of Fulou. Due to the great disparity in power, the "Kuo Lou Kingdom" was defeated again and became a dependent country of the Han Dynasty, and was renamed "Min Yue Kingdom". In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Minyue State was abolished and became a county. Since then, Minyue State has been destroyed and became part of the Han Dynasty.
In order to disintegrate the survivors of Fujian and Vietnam, Emperor Wu of the Han killed their nobles and elders. Some of the survivors fled to the Taiwan area, while the remaining part was isolated by the northern races, and finally disappeared in the Fujian area due to various reasons. This is why modern Fujianese contain a large amount of O3 in the north and a small part of O2 in Baiyue, but not M1 and M2 in the South Island.
Today's Fujianese belong to the yellow race, the descendants of the fusion of the northern Han and Baiyue people, but not the descendants of the Austronesians. The Austronesians belong to the brown race or the brown white race, and their genetics are different from the modern Fujianese.
The mystery of continental distribution
yes, i noticed that some Japanese people exhibit Austronesian features compared to their default Asian phenotypes. Particularly among the Ryukuans and Okinawans, some have natural tanned skin complexion and facial hair.
Austronesians aren't hairy
@@nenabunena Austroasiatic speakers are more hairy like Thais and Cambodian.
By Asian you mean Mongoloid? Austronesians are Mongoloid
Muhammad Saufi Thais aren’t hairy at all.
I'm Indonesian and the people here can barely grow a beard, let alone chest hair lol. It looks like the Japanese get their hair from the Jomon
Modern Japanese are para-Austroasiatic (haplogroup O1b2) with Jōmon substrate (haplogroup D1a2a and C1a1)

Your video on the Ainu was great and I want to know more! Part 2? 🤷🏽♀️ It’s difficult trying to figure out “who” exactly they are. I only recently found out my grandmother’s haplogroup (G1a1a) links us to them. Melanesian and Siberian come and go in my DNA results so this kind of connected everything together. Thanks!

I love how Japan is kinda like the UK of Asia
Then that makes Philippines the Ireland of Asia since they love to drink at parties, were both colonized in the past and are both strongly influenced by the Roman Catholic church
But with much better food culture.
Cryo Optic I think the Koreans are the Irish of Asia because oh my god do they hate the Japanese!!!!
@@justfrank5661 Korea is more like the France of Asia because like the Japanese and Koreans the Brits and the French also have a long history of rivalry
@@Tempus0ptic South Korea is also turning into the fashion capital of Asia with the popularization of KBeauty and KPop fashion, though Shiseido still bigger than AmorePacific. There was even a proposal to build a chunnel that would connect Japan with South Korea, at Busan, like the Chunnel in England and France, though it looks like it won't happen anytime soon since Korean and Japanese government still don't get along so well. Japan and Britain are similar in the sense they are both island nations that drive on the left side of the road, with a still existing royal family, and a natural tendency to be good at queueing, apologizing for anything, and being super polite but very indirect people. However in the food and art scene, Japan is more like France. It has the most Michellin 3 star restaurants in the world, even ahead of France. Some Japanese sakes are made to be like luxury items like French wines are. Even some fruits and fungi. Japan also admires French cuisine, hailing it as the golden standard of Western cuisine. They love the French pastries, and implemented a lot of their technique into their own Japanese pastries, though baking was introduced to East Asia by the Portuguese. Japan has also produced prominent fashion designers like Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, Junya Watanabe, Issey Miyake, and Kenzo Takada who have built a career in Paris doing haute-couture and ready-to-wear. In terms of cleanliness, Japan is closer to Switzerland, and Scandinavian countries though (too much graffitti, cigarette buds, litter, trash, homeless people, pickpocketers, and dog shit in the streets of Paris compared to Tokyo). And in industrial might, it is closer to Germany, with a strong manufacturing economy. Not to mention, both Japan and Germany are rule obsessed, with a dark past in the 40s. Korea too is similar to Germany in this aspect, as they are an engineering powerhouse, not to mention Korea is divided into capitalist South and communist North, like how Germany was divided into capitalist West and communist East. In terms of attitude though, Korean probably closer to Polish people. They know what is like to be sandwiched between two great powers, being invaded by them, and now recently get the recognition they deserve in the world stage after years of hard work to rebuild their country. Many Koreans, like Poles, had to emmigrate their country in order to find a better future, and that they did, as their hard work has payed off, allowing them to assimilate well into their new homes, and improve their socioeconomic situation. They also have an intense drinking culture of hard liquor (soju and vodka are readily available), and have a cold and hot personality mix, as they may come off as a bit reserved and introverted sometimes (you know, the type of people who are not used to smiling to strangers and doing small talk with them), but once you get to know them closely, they a firecracker with an explosive firey temperament (Koreans and Poles seem to be rather impatient, especially when they teach, they don't wait for the slow student).
Very interesting

The Yayoi are the most interesting to me because they introduced bronze and horses to Japan. I have wondered about their origins, since their culture was like that of much of East Asia at the time, and they must have contributed their language to the islands. There are so many similarities between modern Japanese and the Altaic and Finno-Ugric languages that suggest to me a common origin. The Tibetan connection is truly ancient but recorded in their genes, and which means any language influence must also be ancient. Your video does a great job summarizing all the genetics and various influences on Japan, and I greatly appreciate all your research into this fascinating topic.

Dude, can you do an episode on Ainu?
Could you do a video on the dna of Minoans please
Living in Hawaii where we have large populations of people of Okinawan, Polynesian and Filipino descent, many of us have noted clear similarities between these groups. Consumption of pork, traditional tattooing, darker complexion, larger eyes, and wavy hair, are some clear connections. In comparison with North East Asians, that is to say.
Wavy hair? There are a lot more wavy or curly hair amongst Koreans than Filipinos imo. Also Filipino women used to dye their teeth black which strengthened it and they considered it aesthetically beautiful, it it a common practice amongst Austronesians and japanese
The Filipinos in Hawaii are mostly Ilokanos from Northern Luzon. I think they do tend to have wavier hair. That is interesting historically about the teeth blackening. I had forgotten reading about that.
Polynesian literally are Asian
more like a tan complexion
@@nenabunena im from tonga, and my ancestors practised the blackening of teeth too so it's nice to be in the teeth blackening cultures
Japanese travel to the Philippines to trade. They buy earthen jar and its called "Luzon" in Japan.
Can you please do a video on the origins of Korea and/or the origins of the mysterious O1b2 M-176 haplogroup? It’s so interesting how it’s a para-austroasiatic lineage that moved so far away from the austroasiatic O1b1 lineage!
Chinese and southeast Asians originated from Austronesians and negritos. Han dynasty and han Chinese were named after han river that is connected to Yangtze river and not yellow river. Chinese are 100% austronesian negritos. Chinese never lived in yellow river region. It was inhabited by koreanic and Mongolic peoples since time began. Koreanic and Mongolic peoples conquered ruled and colonized china for over 4000 years. Look up CONQUEST DYNASTY. Nearly every Chinese dynasty and chinese invention originated from koreanic Mongolic peoples. 95% or Chinese history is stolen from Korean Manchu mongol history. The Chinese have zero history remaining without stealing Korean Manchu mongol history. Look up CONQUEST DYNASTY. 95% of Chinese history is stolen from koreanic Mongolic peoples history. Chinese have zero history. Chinese only lived in han river Yangtze river southern china and burma and southeast Asia. Chinese never lived in yellow river region. please look up conquest dynasty. that is why most chinese people dont even look asian. most chinese look vietnamese thailand burma phillipines. also if a chinese person looks korean then the chances of that person having korean dna is 100%. millions and 10 millions of koreans manchus and mongols moved to northern china after conquering ruling and colonizing china for over 4000 years.
Thank you
Hey masaman can you do a story about haplogroup E?
I find the Jomon to be the most interesting because they invented Sheikah technology.
I really like the video and the content but it so Fast Paced！
did your channel get shadow banned or sth? this is the first timr in months i got a recommandation for you.
Interetsing topic. I had no idea that Japan had any Austronesian influence
You should make a video about how East Asian are Vietnamese(Kinh) people.
And their French genetics/cultural influence. I'd also like a video about the Native American Inuit connection with Norway and moreso Denmark, born out of their control of Greenland going back to the 1700s. Euros are confused when native American DNA shows up in their DNA tests lol.
there are many websites that explained how the Kinh (京) people were formed as a result of multiple waves of Northern Han Chinese people in modern-day North Vietnam.
I'd like to see you do each haplogroup one by one., Origin,, age, path, etc
I've actually heard that theory about the origin of the Japanese in a history radio show they used to transmit here.
Hey masaman do a video on this topic why do some japanese words sound like words from the african or should i say yoruba language
I'm a mixture of Polynesian (Māori) and European (Scottish, German, French and Croatian) There's actually quite a lot of Māori that have a mixture of one or two of those European groups. Māori/Croatian families are common in the far north of the North island New Zealand, while Maori from the Southern portion of the North island have a lot of Māori/German plus Maori/British. The Maori of the mid east coast of the South Island around Akaroa had a lot of contact with the French. In fact, the British and the French were both rushing to get Māori on their side to aid them with their attempts of settlement and colonisation, the Union Jack on our flag makes it obvious that the British prevailed, and to that I say, God save the King and long may he reign ♥️🇳🇿♥️🇬🇧♥️🇳🇿
Great video and very informative! But, a slight correction: some linguists that do consider Japanese to be a mixed language don't mean that it has many influences from other languages. Rather, they mean that it developed as a contact language between Austronesian and Koreanic language speakers.
I'm Japanese. I prefer Koreanic.

I am quite fascinated by this topic. When I visited Taiwan in the 1990s I met an older gentleman up in the mountains who was speaking Japanese with his wife. I asked him in Japanese if he was Japanese. I was surprised when he told me he was a Christian missionary and member of one of the Taiwanese tribal peoples . . . not a Japanese man. Back in those days (the 1990s) there were still a lot of older men in Taiwan who spoke fluent Japanese. Any older men in their 80s almost invariably were fluent in Japanese. I guess nowadays that most of them are gone or extremely old. What happened in prehistory in the islands of Japan is murky. The Japanese archipelago was clearly populated from the south, north and east. Modern Japanese vary a lot in their appearance. This attests to the various migrations to the islands from Mainland Asia and elsewhere.
Man, Filipinos are everywhere. Lol. They definitely like migrating since ancient times.
Austronesian doesn't mean Filipino. There are other austronesian ethnic groups out there.
@@AyueKodamaes Look at "austronesian" people in google images they basically look Filipino. Lol. Or do you like to make people separated. We are all just basically related on Earth. It's what's causing conflicts in some countries, "There's our tribe...then there's them" mentality.
Southern part of Japan is definitely Austranesian , like okinawa , but the mainland is altaic-tungustic.
Yep
I don't think so. There's not altaic-tungusic influences in Japan. Only ainu. Also,Kyushu is part of the mainland.
Cool. 😎👍
What’s up with the flag at the end ? the ph flag mix, I like it
thats a united austronesian flag i think
also there were japanese settlements in some parts of the Philippine archipelago
Those were pirates and some where Christian converts who escaped persecution in Japan. That wouldn’t count. Those Japanese people you mentioned came much recent (around when the Philippines was about to be colonized or is already colonized). Most likely 1500s, not that far back to support your claim.

The similarities between verbal(language family) and human(ethnic)dna are bound to coincide. But even though some of the Japanese and Austronesian are similar, majorities of dna are completely different.

But the rest of Japan is completely different. You are the only SE Asian person I know who trust evidence provided by Science. Majority of JP DNA is completey different from SE Asians.

The O paternal Y chromosome is of the family tree of Japheth and more specifically, possibly, Magog. The only other possibility would be Meshech, Tubal or Madai which might be the N, K and Q paternal haplogroups. I have Madai as tentatively being the Q, Meshech is the N, and Tubal possibly the K. The C is definitely Nimrod the son of Cush.

Very nice! Usual suggestions:
1. Explaining the relation between sub-Saharan Africans and Indigenous Australians as there is a lot of misunderstanding about that. In addition, is there any Australian Aboriginal diaspora in the world? Torres Strait Islanders?
2. The connection between the Frisians and the "Old English"
3. Baltic TRIBES
4. Yennish
5. Maori (specific)
6. How much of an Antarctican "culture" exists among the researchers and professionals there? This is an interesting topic
to analyze ethno-genesis in a very small sense.
7. One thing I've been curious about that I have not been able to find much information on: Malagasy diaspora in the world
8. The possible un-contacted tribes that might exist in the Congo River Basin in the DRC.
9. People's of Amazonia-Is it true that they lost the ability to perspire because of the climate?
10. The most modern creole groups
11. The HUMAN population of the Galapagos Islands
12. Inuit connection with modern Siberian populations

If you study Chinese, Mongol and Korean history you'll see that none of the three nations are actually of pure ancestry. Japan is not actually special in this. All this Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Mongol "pure race" mythology is just that. This has been happening for thousands of years
This is true for all peoples though. Most people have some genes from the neighboring peoples they traded and interacted with.
