- In this video I talk about the Ainu, the indigenous people from the northern region of Japan, their culture, genetic profile, and ancestry. They are well known as the ethnic group that appears in manga series “Golden Kamuy.”

The Ainu called Japanese people Sisam.
The bigger the tattoo around the women’s mouths, the more influential/important their husband is. The Ainu woman started getting mouth tattoo at around 12/13 yo, indicating that it has come their time to get married.
The hand tattoos are different in each areas.
The Ainu would look after orphan baby bears until they got bigger and then “send them to kamuy land” or basically kill them and they would take their pelts, meat, etc except their heads and hold a certain ceremony called Iomante.
There are other facts about Ainu that I know after I watched and read Golden Kamuy. But I don’t want to write the longest essay I’ve ever written here 😅

Thank you for the additional information.
Oh yes Golden Kamuyyy!!! ❤❤❤
When I was watching it, I remember the parts of Hokkaido I visited (Abashiri, Asahikawa, Sapporo, & Otaru) & how amazed I was whenever they mention "that place [in the past]" as "that place [now]."
The sequence of your facts made me think that "here must be a fellow fan of Golden Kamuy". Was not disappointed when you mentioned the manga in your final sentence.
There is only one village in Japan that is majority Ainu. Nibutani in Biratori. There is an Ainu-run guesthouse called Yanto right next to a museum that hosts regular cultural gatherings open to anyone interested. I visited for a couple of days six months or so before the pandemic.
we dont really know the ainu are found in the mainstream they do not advertise they are ainu, because of the society of shame among nihons
😊G
They are ethnicaly Russians, they had totem animal bear, later they were expeled and assimilated by influx of Asiatic new commers. They had code of honour samu RA, also they had Vedic Solar symbolism in which solar symbol RA was represented as swastic symbol, also adopted as main icon in Japanese culture as country of raising sun with sun depicted on national flag. Swastic symbolism natively belongs to a ethnic group called Indo-Irano-Slavic-Arian. Swastic symbol Solar symbor representing Pease, Life and Eternal Growth, was stolen by Fascists and pereverted and comit atrocities. In this Indo Irano Slavic Arian ethnic group, the sun was the main diety, representing Creator on phycal plane of existance, just like the Sun God RA in Ancient Egypt. The Indo Irano Arian Ethnic group, speaks the languages derrived from Ancient Sanscrit, Just like ancient Vedic cultures in the recent past were Solar Worshipers or Fire Worshipers as representetion of the Sun. Ancient Sanscrit served as base of Latin and later tranformed into Germanic group, and later formed group of european laguages including French and English. So if you were to trace back the ancestry of all languages and cultures they would eventually come to one source of culture and language and it is - "Solar Vedism" originated from Indo Irano Slavic Arian ethnic group. Solar Vedism is native to ancient Russia it is originated there, and ancient Sanscrit linguistically is secondary to Russian language. Fluently speaking specialst Sancritologist, can understand "modern" Russian language, that is 2 languages with tens of thousands years apart!!!Hence Russian language remained unchanged for tens of thousands of tears, while other languages were created and formed on its bases. Do you understand significance of this?! This is a big hush-hush in the "main strim, poplar, populistic science".
*NOW*
Continue statement. Yes, Japan has been overrun many times, as have all countries.
Ainu are the same as any aboriginal once dominating & now only controlling a small portion
Aboriginal people of japan are Ainu!
Honestly, the Ainu language is pretty much gone. I was talking to a couple Ainu people in the Lake Akan Ainu village, and they said that there are basically no "native speakers" left, and although there are a few old people who can speak it to a degree and there are some linguists who learned it and try to pass on what they can, it's pretty much gone and even when the elders perform their kamuynomi ceremonies in Ainu, they are basically reciting a string of words they memorized but don't understand.
😢
İt sounds like turkish( not sure but just a guess) for example: akan ainu in turkish mean: flowing/spreading around/ glittering moonlight.. kamuynomi: kamu means society but no idea about ynomi😅.😅
@@Lotusum2064
kamuy means god or spirit, cognate to Japanese kami.
"Honestly"
@@jamesmcinnis208 ?
I am a typical Japan person. There is a lie in the comments here that cannot be overlooked. Assuming that the Hokkaido Ainu are the indigenous people of Japan, do you want to claim that non-Ainu Japan people are not indigenous peoples? Do you want to claim that all the Japan people (not the Ainu) today are fake Japan from the continent? I would like foreigners who know nothing about the DNA, culture, and history of Japan people to stop talking about the race of Japan lightly. That's because it insults and makes the average Japan person uncomfortable.
Yamato, HOKKAIDO Ainu, and Okinawans are ancient Jomon people with the same Jomon genes (haplogroup D). (By the way, Chinese and Koreans do not have the Haplogroup D gene.) The Jomon period lasted for 10,000 years, there were no wars, and everyone lived in peace and harmony. After the Jomon period, during the Yayoi period, the Yamato Jomon people were invaded by military immigrants from the Korean Peninsula and China, and the Yamato Jomon people mixed with them and became Yayoi people. As a result, mixed-race Yayoi people became physically different from Ainu people, but that doesn't change the fact that both Ainu people and general Yamato people are Japanese. The Ainu people have assimilated into the Japanese population, and most people do not even know that they have Ainu blood. There are almost no pure Ainu people left in Japan.
Yes. And many Yamato also have Ainu like traits themselves. In fact, Jomon ancestry overall is why Japanese are so short compared to Korean and north Chinese. Alcohol tolerance is also more common
Very interesting. I’ve always been fascinated by them. Visually, they look like a Siberian/Indian(subcontinent) cross.
The indian subcontinent percentages definitely explain the beautiful beards.
Dont be silly, they are german1.000.000% for starters they are hairy like the german women, have you seen unshaved german woman? Ainus will cry if they saw a german unshaved woman 😢😢😅😅😂😂😂 ,wtf? I thought i was hairy, 😂😂😂😂
Especially the Ainu with pale white skin.
@@mrbaab5932Ainu basically Polynesian w white skin tbh
Thanks for this, always thought these people were fascinating , and I think it's important to spread awareness of their cultural idiosyncrasies, it's so unique
You believe him that the ainu are germans Seriously?
Nah, I don't even recall him saying that. I remember him mentioning the siberian & possibly north-west coast indigenous genetic link. That seems awfully plausible.
I hope someone preserves the linguistic beauty of the tribe before it’s too late
The Ainu seem culturally very close to native populations of coastal southern Alaska and northern British Columbia, as well as geographically proximate. If Ainu Jomon ancestry is now accepted through DNA tracking, then it would certainly be a productive line of archaeological inquiry to investigate possible lines of migration from Japan northeast to the Alaskan islands, in perhaps the pre- or early Jomon era, during the late Pleistocene.
I agree, you only need to look at the artwork .
There is decades worth of archaeological research on this if you're interested in reading up on it:
*A Circum-Pacific Perspective on the Origin of Stemmed Points in North America*
Pratt et al. 2020, PaleoAmerica
*Beringia and the peopling of the Western Hemisphere*
Hoffecker et al. 2023, Proceedings of the Royal Society
However, the genetic evidence does not support a direct migration from Japan. Archaeology associated with earliest Jōmon culture arrives shortly after 14,000 BC, whereas the projectile points that match ones found on Hokkaido have been discovered to be already in use at that time by Native Americans in Washington State:
*Late Upper Paleolithic occupation at Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho USA ~16,000 years ago*
Davis et al. 2019, Science
Yes they already know the native Americans and these people are related. They are among the first people to have migrated into the region. Related to the first native Americans and early European settlers.
Yes the artwork is crazy similar. Even old Jomon carvings look like nw totems.
@@plopdoo339 ：I have seen a Japanese TV program that says the Ainu are more genetically connected to natives of South America such as Quechuas or Aymaras than the natives of North America.
Im not sure if memory serves me correctly, but I remember learning about Ainus traditionally not washing things in flowing water, which was also custom among Turkic and Mongol tribes during their times as Tengriists
Modern day Mongolian nomads still do not wash their clothes, utensil etc directly in the river.
Because that’s their drinking water. Chinggis Khan demanded the water source remaining clean or there’d be a punishment.
Meanwhile india :)
@@toxichuman208indian are farming society
@@mimorisenpai8540 and so dirty.
Based on a recent genetic study I did, turns out my paternal lineage is of Ainu ancestry. Unfortunately my father nor his family speak the language or practice their custom, but fascinating to have found out regardless
Looking at them, some of them look like Australian Aborigines, others look like they are partially Caucasian! Their history must be very interesting I reckon.
Where is the Australian aborigine look? I don't see it. Go read wikipedia on genetics of Ainu and Jomon. The South Asian and Papuan that shows up was confused for other components in the Sakhalin Ainu. If they were South Asian, Papuan you think their skin color would be super dark brown, not lighter than even Japanese (many East Asian can be super dark by tan too). Ainu were described as white-skinned until they labour in the sea. Anyway they are genetically East Eurasian but with some ANE ancestry.
I agree, I can see many of my Aboriginal uncles in the men. I visited Hokkaido and we connected as indigenous people and we met some young men who believe they are connected to us in Australia, with similar beliefs, very interesting.
@@jalbu8330 It's amazing how people can lie. Let's see here. Ainu = look white skinned Mostly Straight/wavy hair, few curly hair. Some are brown skinned because they labour under the sea and others have curly hair but you can find that in many Middle eastern caucasian and Jewish people. Their face look like Caucasian. And I'm not claiming them to be Caucasian. I rather you say they look like Sri Lanka veddas only difference is their dark skin and some features. Now with Australia aborigines = black skin, super wide nose, super thick lips. A skull that looks partly caucasian (like the jaw, forehead) but look black people overall. How can you see a resemblance is beyond my understanding.
to me they look like Eskimos
True. Its because they have Polynesian dna.❤
After a lot of requests thanks for finally making out an Ainu DNA analyse video. This Ainu sample belongs to northern Ainu from Sakhalin island and aquires more Okhotsk ancestry compared to the Ainus from Hokkaido. The "south asian" component is confused Basal East Eurasian ancestry contained among Jomon population and inherited by Ainu, it's also popping out on Tibetan results as any of those Basal East Eurasian lineageses in genetic calculators got represented as South Asian ancestry although there are no any real AASI ancestry in Ainus, Jomon or Tibetans.
Agreed. I'm sorry I misread what you wrote earlier. After all we share the same opinion. IUP East Eurasians likely had a very wide distribution in Northern Eurasia once upon a time and it's only after the expansion of UP West Eurasians that they were forced to migrate further to the east and to the south.
@@weifan9533 Yeah meanwhile those West Eurasians in a nutshell all spread from Middle East ahahaha
@@barguttobed Yes, West Eurasians likely originated from or stayed longer in the Middle East than East Eurasians. Their physical features sort of resemble the Australian Aborigines or the Papuans, which are populations living in a rather hot climate. On the other hand, East Eurasians, with their thicker subcutaneous fat and the signature eye shape developed on some of them, likely evolved in a colder climate.
They're really a far distant relation with Mongolians like you.
Haplogroup C and D brothers and sisters.
@@뽀뽀함하자잉 We're talking about autosomal DNA and not Y-haplogroups. And plus haplogroup C is the brother clade of haplogroup F whereas haplogroup D is the brother clade of haplogroup E.
For some reason, my mind always draws a line between them and the Sami people of Finland.
Probably due to both being on the northern region of a country, the Sami look asian-ish surrounded by Europeans and the Ainu are European-ish looking surrounded by asians.
They’ve always reminded me of PNW native Americans with facial hair.
My Grandmother, born in Northern Ostrobothnia (Finland) resembled a picture of an Ainu woman in National Geographic that I clipped it and showed it to people who thought it was a photograph of her; I’ve never done an ancestry search but have always thought my family had a lot of Asian DNA or some Sami background.
It's probably because of their blonde hair and blue eyes.
They also look a bit similar with some Natice American tribes.
Fascinating vid about a fascinating subject. I appreciate the delivery of good, accurate info in a short form. Much respect.
My husband is Japanese and he has a very thick beard. His family is from the south West Island of Shikoku so I’m wondering if he’s showing his Jomon ancestry.
Really fascinating stuff!
My wife is from Kyushu, there's plenty of men on that island that have beards. This notion that Japanese men can't grow beards is silly, just look at Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli fame. Obviously that Yayoi DNA is dominant in Japan, but I believe there's plenty of Jomon DNA spread throughout Japanese society.
@@Celtic-Texan They generally can't grow full, thick beards. That's why there's that notion.
@@imprisonedone8054 my husband says that the people of Okinawa have a different look than mainland Japanese. This makes sense.

ひげを生やしてはいけないなんて聞いたことないwww
Kansai area has the lowest percentage of Jomon people.
That's why when you look at Kansai people, some of them resemble Koreans.
My moms family is from tokyo for all I know and my dad is 99% anglo but my whole life I've thought no one has this weird impossibly thick, dark wavy hair like mine but then I see the Ainu and I don't feel alone anymore. Also the bear cult is thought to have been a holdover from paleolithic times and thought to be connected to similar rituals practiced by native siberians.
You should complete a DNA analysis to see if you are Ainu. If you are male, you'll be able to identify your male haplogroup; and if you're female, again, you'll know you female haplogroup. Your male/female haplogroup will tell you about your familial migration. It would certainly be interesting.
What kind of Anglo is your dad? Could be Sicilian from Italy?
I was sitting in a waiting room a few weeks ago, started looking in the end tables and found an old encyclopedia. I found the Ainu people and began to read about them. Very interesting group of people.
Interesting how close Ainu sounds to Innu or Innuit which the Eskimos call themselves, meaning: The People. The same as Ainu
despite most of the language is unrelated, doesn't mean they won't borrow words from their neighbors.
Lenape means The People.
Siuox means the People.
Cree means the People.
All tribes think they are The People. It’s what united us
i think there needs to be more language and religion migration studies between the Inuit, the Tungusic, the Yakut, the Ainu, and the Mongols, and a lot of the similarities will show up very clearly. Especially between the Ainu and the Haida-Gwai. there's a lot of overlapping symbology.
Generally, American Indians are nearly hairless(not head hair), while the Ainu are not.
@@robfritz841Sioux is a pejorative which means, “snakes”. They call themselves by their tribe, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and so on.
I am so glad for these language isolates! It truly does make a person think...those isolates are so interesting, even though we could quite possibly never figure out that part of the equation, here. It may be why it makes us so excited to hear about such unique humans!
And I never knew the Ainu language still existed
😂😄🫢 welcome to planet Earth 🌏
Actually the Ainu language is pretty much dead. Read some of the other comments here for context.
Kami in Shinto is the spirit or life force of all things, interestingly similar to Ainu tradition.
i love their music! so much energy. thank you for this! i learned so much!
Wonderful video presentation 🙂! I especially enjoyed the old photos.
As an uralic speaker I find both ainu and japanese very fascinating and close to me. At least compared those who has been surrinding my people in the last few millenia.
I like it too. Greetings from Hungary.
Basically, this video shows that the Ainu and Japanese share common DNA from the ancient Jomon people, the oldest known inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago. Both the Ainu and the Japanese are descendants of the Jomon people, whose DNA is rarely found outside of Japan today.
The Ainu word 'kamuy' and the Japanese word 'kami' are related, and they both mean 'deities' that reside in nature, whether animate or inanimate. Both the Ainu religion and the Japanese Shinto religion seem to have common ground, likely inherited from the ancient Jomon people.
There is no group outside of Japan that has Jomon DNA or a significaant amount. Koreans are proven to have "little to none" close to 0%. The only people who pretend Japanese are not descendants of the Jomon are those that want to delegitimize the Japanese.
You can tell there straight up related to the Natives of Alaska and manitoba etc like the Art styles, aswell as Haida Gwaii, Haida stands out to me the most I used to get the Ainu and the Haida confused.
The Native American Ainu connection was debunked
I would be very interested in seeing an in depth comparison of Ainu language and some northern "dialects" of Japanese like Tsugaruben to see if there were any links. This might just be wishful thinking, but if there were in fact similarities, it might shed some light on what a Jomon language could have been and / or more of the history of Japonic languages in general.
It is a pity that they are in the risk of being an extinct nation
It happens.
@mitonaarea5856 it shouldn't
@@stephenburnage7687 Well if it didn´t then we all would be in Africa and there wouldn´t be any advanced civilization
@@stephenburnage7687 What you're saying is basically to ban the Ainu from marrying people of other ethnic groups, namely the Japanese.
According to Vallini et al. 2022, the first group of East Eurasians to split off from the rest were Ust-Ishim and Bacho Kiro / Oase, followed by Aeta, Papuans, Australian Aborigines, and AASI. All these events likely happened around 45,000 ybp. And then around 40,000 ybp Tianyuan and Hoabinhians / Andamanese split off from the rest. And then around 30,000 ybp Jomon and Longlin split off from the rest, and finally around 23,000 to 26,000 ybp Northern East Asians and Southern East Asians diverged.
I have a feeling that these groups despite their ethnic differences (white, black, brown, or red) speaks one language. That one language was Babylonian!!! I have these persistent feeling that after the confusion of tongues, all these groups eventually separated from one another.
If you take a look in Chinese alphabets for a while, you'll notice that some of them look like drawings of houses, birds, etc. Could it be that after their sudden language confusion, they resorted to drawings to communicate. This is just a theory.

@@weifan9533 even scientific evidences and genetics are still human rumors and human childish suggestions . Your obsolete Chinese thinking is woefully out of touch. Improve!
@@Icneumone7 Well, I need to clear up a few points.
First of all, I never said that Ainu and Australian aborigines have the same haplogroups okay? Don't put words into my mouth. Just for your information they don't have the same haplogroups. Ainu mostly belong to D1a2a-M55 with some C2-M217, whereas Australian aborigines belong to K2-M526 and C1b2b-M347. And their haplogroups aren't close either. DE and CF diverged nearly 70,000 ybp, C and F (K2 is a descendant of F) diverged around 60,000 ybp, and C1 and C2 diverged around 50,000 ybp.
Secondly I did not make any claim. What I said at the beginning has already been proved by the Vallini et al. 2022 paper. And nope this does not concern haplogroups but rather autosomal DNA. East Eurasian isn't a haplogroup it's an autosomal category.

Think you are ignoring the admixture bit..
Uchinanchu women tattooed the back of their hands to discourage Japanese pirates from taking them when they raided Uchinanchu trading ships. Japanese thought tattoos on women as damaged goods.
That makes more sense than the explanation here.
Tatto culture was seen all over the Japanese archipelago. It's just one of Jomon and Yayoi traditions and that's all.
You are completely wrong
“Hajichi” is an based on the idea that tattoos are the only decoration that can be carried into the afterlife
@Mjanja why are you so arrogant?? To just come at me like that?? Hajichi is many things. Yes, your one statement is partially true. There's more. It means woman, beauty, rites of passage, and marital status. My Oba or Grandmother died over 20 years ago. Today, she would be about 107 years old. I have seen her Hajichi in real life. A story was told to me on Okinawa about how the Japanese would raid Ryukyu ships and take the goods and the women. After a while, the ships that were raided, they noticed the Japanese would not take the women who had tattoos. This was before Hajichi, my guess. So the women started to tattoo the back of their hands so the Japanese pirates would not take them. So the expression, damaged goods. Designs were different through out the Ryukyu islands.

Beautiful traditional pictural motives. I hope the culture can survive.
Many years ago I was told by someone that there were tall, blonde Japanese on one of the Northern islands. I don’t see blonde or necessarily tall people in these photos, but I’ll bet this is what they were referencing. The people in these photos appear to be an interesting mix of Asian and Caucasian. Itks good to hear the Japanese government is finally recognizing them. I think when we look deeply at the DNA of different populations on this planet, we will finally have to admit that there is no such thing as “purely one” ethnicity in anyone. We are likely all somehow related at some level. Somehow I find that comforting. Perhaps in many years to come, this knowledge will ease the profound “us v them” mentality with which mankind has plagued itself for eons.
There you are!
👍
Until a few generations ago, most Japanese were a lot shorter than they are now, with the Ainu being as tall as they are now. I visited Kyoto in 1990. I'm 5'5", and was born in 1953. I noticed guys my age were about my height, guys older than I was were all shorter, and most teenagers, including a lot of the girls, were taller than I am, and close to the American average. Not too long ago, I read a little about an outfit of Ainu in the Japanese Army during WWII. They were so much taller than most Japanese that our soldiers wondered if they were Germans.
@@howgood88 In every nation in the world no matter it belongs to the Western Civilization or not, which is under influence of "western" products and way of living, it's future generations are a bit taller than the previous one. My grandfather was taller than my father, I'm taller than my father and I suppose most probably my child will be taller than me.
@@dejantodorovski5222 It's called reaching the genetic potential for height. Postwar Japanese have been getting a lot more protein in their diet. My mother was born and raised in Brooklyn. In her younger days, European immigrants were distinctly shorter than Americans, on average. Their children would become larger, and the grandchildren would be typical American height.
Maybe this will contribute a piece of the puzzle to unraveling the origins of the Ainu (or maybe not :-) ). As a young Okinawan girl just before WWII, my mother overheard older men discussing the origins of the rulers of the Ryukyuan kingdom-- the Sho dynasty. The men said that an Ainu woman traveled with her young son to Okinawa from somewhere in Japan. It wasn't clear if she had a husband or if he were with her. From these two, the Sho dynasty started which ruled for a number of centuries. This could explain your table which demonstrates that Ryukyuans are more closely related to the Ainu than other populations.
Ainu is a culture that emerges with the fusion of Jomon and Okhotsk people in Karafuto, Chishima, and Hokkaido. All modern people of Japan have varying degree of Jomon ancestry. In fact 40% of modern Japanese carry Y-DNA Haplogroup D. But it's true that the JOMON admixture in Okinawa, Amami, and Southern Kyushu is higher than national average, which is why they have strong alcohol tolerance. The regions with higher rice-farming YAYOI DNA (Y-DNA Haplogroup O1b2) is in the Kansai and SETOUCHI region.
Could be just folkore to explain connection when in reality Ainu of Far North & Far South were just the remnants of indigene Ainu once extant across whole of Japan until invasion by Japanese Ancestors. The Ainu survived the longest on the edges ...just like Celts/Celtic Speakers remained longest in edges of UK & Ireland.
You haven't uploaded in awhile. Hope you're ok
So that's why there are some hairy Japanese ppl while some are pure dolphin skin 🤣I always wondered why some "Japanese" ppl have very non-asian-esque features or more western looking feature vs other Asian countries (like deeper set eyes or sharper feature or extremely dark skin or just not a flat face (not to be crude) -not all, but a lot do have flat faces). 1st gen Chinese-American here so I've always noted differences in ppl facial feature (mainly bc I wasn't around a lot of Asian ppl growing up), but I also don't have a very typical Chinese features, so I was always fascinated by ppl and noted some similarities and differences. Personally, I was trying to figure out what the "Chinese" look was as ppl kept saying I didn't look Chinese and as I delved into it (from an American viewpoint) I was like Chinese ppl varies vastly so I don't know what ppl meant by "you don't look Chinese" which lead me into this search hole of what other East Asian countries "look" like. And aside from the South-East Asians, I always thought Japanese ppl's look, customs, or some practices were less "Asian" when compared to other East Asian countries and it almost seemed more European-esque or indigious Indian, like tribal, -in some respect (historically speaking) but I didn't know why, but understanding that there are smaller groups within makes a lot more sense. I wish there was a better Ancestral DNA test for Asians in the US bc I feel like the background wound be interesting then just "Chinese, Korean, or Japanese". Most test just say your Asian 🤨
Chinese have a varied look because they have more variety genetically than Japanese. Koreans have the most East Asian appearance because they are mostly related to Manchu.
Well culture and genetics aren't exactly correlated. All Asians (except West Asians), Oceanians and Native Americans descend either fully or partially from East Eurasian lineages. One of the lineages that contributed partially to the Japanese came from the Himalayas and is related to the Kusunda people of Nepal and to the ancient lineages of South and Southeast Asia (AASI/Andamanese and Hoabinhian). This lineage entered the Japanese population via the Jomon, who descend partially from the Himalayan lineage. This lineage is a "southern East Eurasian" lineage and thus distinct to the "northern East Eurasian" lineages that contributed to the formations of East and North Asians, including the majority of Japanese. The DNA test in the video picked up on "South Asian" and this represents the ancient Himalayan lineage that contributed to the formation of the Jomon and ultimately to the formation of the Ainu, Ryukyuan and Yamato Japanese. So that explains the differences in facial features compared to other East Asians.
japanese actually have some west eurasian haplogroups. They have Ca1a1 which came from paleolithic europe, and I just found that they have Mtdna HV at 0.5% which is the ancient most common ancestor of european haplogroups. The Ainu were found to have european affiliated facial alleles in 2 out of 5 regions. Many studies point to an affiliation of Ainu and some northern chinese to ANE as well/
Japanese & Koreans have raddish complexion a bit of central Asian blend compare to Cheese skin Chinese
Interesting video! My dad and his family are from Hokkaido. 😄🇯🇵❤️
Ainu cognates with Anu, a major Mesopotamian deity! Are there any genetic studies which investigate a link between the Ainu and Middle Eastern populations closely linked to ancient Mesopotamia?
Many people "The Ainu are Austronesian!"
Some people "The Ainu are a subgroup of Europeans!"
Black supremacists "The first Japanese are black!"
Genetic tests "The Japanese are closer to them than any other group is."
Case closed.
The ancestors of the Ainu came from the Himalayas and had gene flow with the ANE of Siberia. They have a lot of Basal DNA which is typical of South Asia but they are more East Eurasian than anything else, and if they are more related to the Japanese than to any living human group, since the DNA Test uses the average Japanese as a reference, The Japanese are not pure Yayoi, they have a mixture with the Jomon culture.
Basal DNA or Basal Eurasians are the ancestors of East Eurasians (East Asians, South, Siberia) and West Eurasians (Middle Eastern, Europeans), which is partly the reason why people from India have genetic affinity. with almost all Eurasians. However, they are not pure since they have an important mixture of Indo-Iranian (Irank Farmer + Indo-European)
The ANE gene flow has greater affinity towards the Native Americans and indigenous Siberians, and more distantly with the Europeans, I believe that the Baltic DNA is of ANE origin, and passed through the Jomon culture, it is very Basal DNA, since the Baltics are the Genetically older Europeans
And what's your point?
@@mfreak1126 I see a lot of Basal, it is not Austranesian, nor Indo-European, nor black, it is Eastern Eurasian + Basal. Basal is prior to the differentiation of the East and West Eurasians, Jomon populated 28,000 years ago makes sense considering that it has paternal Haplogroups D and C, the oldest that exist in Eurasia.
アイヌは縄文人の子孫、弥生人と縄文人の混血の現在の日本人とアイヌは共通の祖先を有している
There is no doubt that the roots of the Japanese people are the Jomon people. However, the Jomon people did not naturally arise in the Japanese archipelago, but migrated from somewhere by some means, but there is no doubt that some of the modern humans who left Africa were the ancestors of the Jomon people.
According to a paper titled ``Y Chromosome Markers and Trans-Bering Strait Dispersals'' published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology in 1977. For example, in a method that accurately traces the ancestry of a race from the information of Y chromosome DNA, which is transmitted only to male descendants, it is the D group that has about 300 specific base sequences called Alu sequences (YAP+ factors). and E group, and D group and E group are closely related groups that differentiated about 50,000 years ago.
Of these, the D group exists only at a significant frequency in Japan, Tibet, and the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean (Japan has only D2 at 40-50%, the frequency is even higher in Ainu and Okinawa, and Tibet has D1 at 16% + D2 33%), and both D1 and D2 are very low in other regions.
On the other hand, the E group exists with considerable frequency only in Africa and the Middle East along the Mediterranean Sea to the southern tip of Italy, and the genetic information of the D and E groups is almost completely absent in the people of nearby China and South Korea.
Thank you. Peoples wandered farther than most academics appreciate. Polynesians wandered the Pacific, and presumably the littoral regions in technically advanced catamarans and navigation. Vikings similarly on the North Sea and the great rivers of Europe. Scholars in academic circles whose lives are very circumscribed have great difficulty appreciating these things.
I saw the very first picture and immediately thought they look Indian. The men especially. The people in the northern states of my country look like that. Then the pie charts started showing up..wonderful
The famous Yul Brynner was from Sakhalin Island (still contested between Russia and Japan), but he is often claimed by Roma/Gypsies
One thing I find about these Ainu videos is they don't mention that they make totem poles and some of their traditional patterns on their clothing is similar to the North West natives of USA and Canada like the Haida. I think it's possible they could have had some connection at one point maybe through trading? There's also some similarities between the Maori and the Northwest native tribes. The Polynesians traveled far and wide. They also use totem poles.
And the idea of no written system is also similar to many Native American tribes. They seems to have a possibility of having connections a long time ago.
Chances are better that they all have a common ancestor from Central Asia, from whence certain artistic patterns & storytelling & spirituality came, which is the story that the global DNA map tells as well.

It totally is.

@@ayumis5452
researchers don't think Emishi are necessarily the same as Ainu (historically called Ezo)
Among the recorded Emishi people names are many that can be explained in Japanese more than those that can be explained in Ainu
The Emishi would have been people who spoke an extinct dialect of Eastern Japan(it’s called Jodai Togoku go), or the Honshu Ainu language, or their creole language
@@ayumis5452
In addition, Emishi is a loanword from the Honshu Ainu language that means human, and it may have been used in a relatively positive manner until the conflict between the imperial court and emishi intensified
Curious ... in Canada, mostly in nothern Quebec .. there's a First Nation that call themselves «Innu» which also mean «human» ... Odd.
Real indigenous Philippines peoples also look different from current populations. They had curly hair, dark skin, broad nose and oriental eyes. If people of the world actually trace back their genealogy and acknowledge or accept the truth; there would be less fighting.
The indigenous people of Northern Japan call themselves "AINU", meaning "Human” in their language.

So mysterious that their language is such an isolate. Have comparative linguistic studies been done between the Ainu and Australian Aborigines? I know, random, but kind of an interesting question.
Certainly they have done this though the video doesn’t mention. I so agree with you in that line of research. Some the individuals in the photos made me think for sure aboriginal DNA. Fascinating.
As a language enthusiast who has taken a little bit of interest in Ainu and in Australian aboriginal languages they seem about as different as languages can be. Certainly the sound systems are extremely different.
Aboriginal languages are like very very different
I´ve read somewhere that Ainu language has unbelievably enough some similarities with Basque language which is a mystery on its own.
@@DraskoStam Not quite. It's the favourite hobby of a certain type of person to posit language relationships between language isolates. There's barely any language family or language isolate that somebody sometimes hasn't tried to connect to Basque.
All languages have similarities, the main way to prove a connection is a large part of the vocabularies of each to be shown to be similar via systematic sound changes.
Grammar points only have several types each so it's much easier to find similarities.
Japan Native is Jomon ppl since 14000-12000 years ago which is oldest civilization in the world. Jomon civilization is Hokkaido Mainland Okinawa. (There have Jomon remains.)

Interested fact when the Australians ran up against Ainu soldiers in ww2 they were shocked by their physiques and fighting prowess one soldier was quoted saying,
During that day's fighting [30 August 1942] we saw many Japanese of large physique, powerfully built men of six feet and over. These tough assault troops came from Hokkaidō, a northern Japanese island of freezing winters, where the bears roamed freely. They were known in their own country as "Dosanko", a name for horses from Hokkaidō, and they withstood splendidly the harsh climate of the Owen Stanley Range. A 2/14th Battalion officer said to me: "I couldn't believe it when I saw these big bastards bearing down on us. I thought they must be Germans in disguise
Ainu people are not tall. It was about the same as the Japanese.
@@7979-s8n his words not mine
In a paper written in 1955 by Sakuzaemon Kodama, the most prominent anthropologist on Ainu studies of the time, states that the average height of male Ainu people was around 159cm whereas it was around 162-163 for male non-Ainu Japanese. His estimation was made through intensive surveying of living Ainu and Japanese people as well as through excavations of burial sites, which of course led to massive criticism in later years.
At the time, as there still is now, there was a common belief among Westerners that the Ainu were Caucasians, and that they shared physical similarities with Westerners. This belief was instigated by the missionary John Batchelor in order to lure the Ainu into Christianity and separate them from the Japanese.
Because Batchelor wrote intensely about the Ainu when information about these people were scarce, his writings has had great influence on the understanding of the people, especially among Westerners (and even in Japan) .
Though he has left behind a great legacy in Ainu studies, it must be noted that much of his works cannot be considered impartial or academic from modern day standards. All his works stems form his conviction that Japanese need to be made better by being Christianized, and all the arguments he made were done so to serve that purpose.
The fact he never learned to properly write in Japanese after 64 years in Japan shows where he stood as a Westerner in Japan (even his studies of the Ainu language have been proven to be inaccurate) .
It's sad that, still to this day, many Western writers reporting about the Ainu rely heavily on the works of Batchelor or by people or theories which were or are heavily influenced by Batchelor.
Of course, the theory that the Ainu are Caucasians has been since debunked from anthropology, comparative linguistics, and most recently from genetics.
I am very curious about the Australian story though. Could you point me to the source of the story? I'm genuinely interested.
You’d have to factor in general privation from WWII and not compare how tall Ainu are currently. If they were allowed unrestricted cultural practices, especially related to food, before the war, it’s quite possible soldiers in the war were taller than those born after the war.
@@alliefee8596 No, absolutely incorrect. The post-war generation is much taller than the pre-war generation.
I saw Ainu in an anime.
I thought this is just a fiction. Great to know the history of these people.

I have to thank the manga Golden Kamu for introducing me to this ancient Japanese culture; especially the cuisine.
I've always found the Ainu fascinating.
There is some Inuit in their gene. Inuits love tattoos.
Former Inuits were travelling long distances with kajaks, umiaks and dog sledge. They loved it and were perfect in coping with arctic climat. Modern lifestyle destroyed their traditions more than climat change. Icebear living is overrated.
The Ainu songs sound very much like the Sami peoples' and some North American indigenous tribes.
Ainus looks like southeast asians (malays, pinoys, indos)
Honest feedback for this, a relatively new channel. The voiceover sounds great, but why is a native English speaker reading a script riddled with obvious grammatical mistakes that clearly mark it as written by a non-native speaker or translated?

However, I want to clarify that I did not suggest that the Ainu have Indian or Papuan ancestry.
@@username-ub5mh Well pedantically speaking all East Asians share genetic similarities with South Asians and Papuans because South Asians and Papuans both descend fully or partially from East Eurasian population sources just like East Asians. The difference here is that Ainu and Jomon carry a basal East Eurasian lineage that is shared with the AASI hunter-gatherers of South Asia and the ancestors of the Papuans.

En 1903, un anthropologue polonais, Bronisław Piłsudski, enregistre la langue aïnou et est créé un dictionnaire traduit en plus de dix langues. Il prend multiples photos. Piłsudski a aussi écrit sur les mythes, la culture, la musique et les coutumes des Aïnous.
Anyone think their singing sounds like Native American
Bronisław Piłsudski, Polish (or Lithuanian) Ainu researcher- _Three years later, Piłsudski was given a grant by the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences to study the Ainu. That year he settled in an Ainu village, fell in love with an Ainu woman, Chufsanma, officially married her and had a son and daughter, Sukezo and Kiyo, with her._
As far as I know, that is considered fairly unlikely. But we'll all have to wait, the next 20-50 years will see a lot of research announced clarifying the story of ancient North America. But I do not think people were even making fabric before the Bering Strait was flooded over. It's a very, very, very long way from Japan to Northern NA and there's no evidence in NA of pre-colonial trade with Japan
They definitely look unique. Such a shame that their race is becoming endangered.
If the Japanese archipelago had remained in the Yayoi period, the modern Japanese genome would have been similar to that of the Ainu people. After the Kofun period, refugees from the Han and Korean ethnic groups (Haplogroup O2 and O1b2a1a2) came into Japan, and the Jomon genome of the Japanese population decreased significantly. According to Shinsen Shojiroku, the 326 families living in the Heian-kyo capital and the Kinai region are classified as foreign; of which, 163 were from Kan (Han Chinese), 104 from Baekje, 41 from Goguryeo, 9 from Silla, and 9 from Gaya.
Do you mean refugee from Shang Dynasty?
Fyi there were no Han at the time. Han Chinese is made up identity from the 20th century. If you have read the Ming written record, It explains who were the eight types of Han and they were mostly Khitan, Jurchen, Tungus and Koreans. Nothing really do with modern day Chinese.
The O1b2 people are known as Yayoi people, and their arrival to Northern Kyushu is over 3,000 years ago. But the Northern Chinese O2 arrived as refugees in the 4-7th period. They were the Chinese intellectual serving in the outposts in the Korean peninsula.
@@yo2trader539 they were not Chinese, Chinese people today has little connection to Yellow river neolithic people, they migrated to Japan via Korea and became Japanese, some left in Korea and became Korean. Chinese people today were directly related to southern Sung dynasty after Yellow river regions were overran by the Xianbei, Khitan and Jurchen and Mongolian tribes. This is why both Japanese/Korean show no genetic cluster sharing with Chinese. Chinese are more related to Vietnamese, Thai and Filipino people.
@@ytn00b3 Yes I 100% agree with you that Han Chinese is a made-up identity from the 20th century in the Republican period.

It is a mistake (lie) that the Ainu people are the indigenous people of Hokkaido. It is true that the Ainu have lived in Hokkaido for a long time, but Paleolithic (Jomon culture) relics from before the Ainu began living in Hokkaido have been found throughout the prefecture, so the Ainu are not an indigenous people.and A new Ainu law that clearly defines the Ainu people as an "indigenous people" was passed in a plenary session of the House of Councilors, but this is due to the influence of left-wing globalism.
