Yes, look at the Stahlhelm. Equipped and trained by German Army to fight communists, they represented the best of the Chinese Army, and gave the Japanese hell in Shanghai (the Stalingrad of Asia) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German-trained_divisions_of_the_National_Revolutionary_Army
¿Red Ainu? They should have met the Russians for the first time before even becoming a Republic in 1917. In the Meiji Restoration probably, and in that time there was no communist Russia or something. That myth is probably just that
No-no, I'm talking about red hair:) In Russian it's different words: krasnyi (red) and ryzhij (close in meaning to orange/for example red hair), but Google translates so.
@@gorzux2829 I doubt that the "red" designation was due to the Russians being Communists. It was probably because of the "ruddy" complexion (red faced western eurasian character) of the Russians. ..then again, I don't know when the Japanese first saw these "red" Russians. Maxim (Максим), do you know when the designation "Red Ainu" was first noted?
Japanese American here. Great Great grandparents moved from Japan to Hawaii in the 1890's. We did some DNA test and our results showed Far East Russian/Siberia, mostly Japanese, some Korean, and some mixture of Polynesian/Hawaiian due to the move to Hawaii as my family is "hapa"

Greeting from a Japanese immigrant living in Europe. Your content is amazing as always, and it is an honor you decided to cover my country in this video. Keep up the great work!
Total of 207,183 Taiwanese served in the military of Imperial Japan. The Chinese Nationalist Party, its officers and approximately 2 million troops took part in the Great retreat to Taiwan; in addition to many civilians and refugees, fleeing from the advances of the Communist PLA. Nowadays, according to government figures, over 95% of Taiwan's population of 23.4 million consists of Han Chinese.
I like your video but please take down the rising sun flag. It represents the military atrocities done by Japanese which are not ignored by the Japanese government.
"Japanese people are homogeneous." "Japanese people want pure blood." These are all big lies invented by vulgar Westerners to make Japanese people out to be racists. This is probably a self-portrait of Anglo-Saxons, like white Americans and British people, who were once obsessed with eugenics just like the Nazis. They projected their own flaws onto the Japanese. The Japanese themselves don't claim this.
It is interesting that in Kyushu there are a range of Japanese people who have different facial features and some dialects that are almost unintelligible to those who only know the Edo dialect (modern standard Japanese). In Nagasaki the locals have a very Chinese facial feature whereas southern prefectures they have a much more Austronesian facial features (especially in Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Kagoshima).
in japanese culture and japanese inspired culture. i see sekiro's dad. sometimes in yakuza series side characters and others have that austronesian features. must be something. i might be wrong here. sorry for disappointing examples here.
In Kyushu, there were known non-Yamato ethnic groups that were conquered by the Yamato king. They were called "Kumaso (熊襲)", "Hayato(隼人)", and "Tsuchigumo (土蜘蛛)". They had different languages and physical characteristics. For example, Tsuchigumo people are said to have had longer limbs. Prolly they were Austronesian.
Hoàng Kim Việt - Correct. The Ainu people of Japan are from Panopolis called Khemmis too They are Y DNA D-M174 from Khemenu to Elephantine Hamites who are Khemites. From the First Cataract, home of Khemnu called Amun and Pan. Khem is Pan Ha and Ho mean "Of" or "the One" HoMin is JoMon HaPan is "Of Pan" is JaPan They are children of the Sun of Khemenu and Elephantine.
ken sin - Japanese has a lot of "Egyptian" loanwords. Amen is Amun and Ammon of the Ammonians called the Ammonites Amen is Khem of the eight of Khemenu Keki is the light bearer of the eight of the ark at Khemenu. Kamuy is Khemui and Kami too Khemenu is Shomayim and Hermopolis and the mound called Meras too Meras is Meru and Meros too HaMeras is SaMeras Samaria is home of the Samurai too Yamabushi blows the horn of the ram called Khemnu and Khn n too The imperial crest of HaPan is on the gate of the divine son of Salome, called HeruSalome and Jerusalem too
Porygon YT - The "Egyptians" (Those from Khemenu to Elephantine) also settled Attica, Thrace and the Hebrus Valles too. They also went to Uruk and the Americas too. Kekrops was their king He divised his kingdominto twelve tribes and forbid animal sacrifice and instead told the people to make a cake, hence a cake is named after Kek.

Quinten Whyte ( Im putting this everywhere to educate people on Ainus ) I’m partially Ainu, partially Polynesian, and partially Chukchi (Chukotkan-Kamchadal of Siberian Far East) There is an even toss up between Ainus being either from haplogroup C (Australian aborigine) or from haplogroup D (the first people out of Africa to settle Asia) For those of you wondering about the cultural similarities between North American Eskimos and Ainus: (keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are part of the Eskimo ethnic and cultural family) The Ainu language is a Paleo-Siberian language. A couple of other Siberian tribes who speak a Paleo-Siberian language include: Koryaks, Chukchis, and Itelmen (just to name a few) Languages in the Paleo-Siberian linguistic family very similar to Eskimo-aleut languages. However, they are classified as different families due to structure. All Siberian tribes that speak a language from the Paleo-Siberian family tend to be indigenous to either Chukotka, or the Kamchatka peninsula. The indigenous people of Chukotka and Kamchatka are all ethnically and culturally related. (If not, the same) They are what we would call “Chukotkan-Kamchadals” and Chukotkan-Kamchadals, are a part of the general ethno-cultural group we call “Eskimo” which is why there are big similarities between North American eskimos and Chukotkan-Kamchadals. They are both “Eskimo” However, Ainus are not ethnically related to Chukotkan-Kamchadals or North American eskimos. The reason that Ainu people speak a paleo-Siberian language is because of how close the Ainu live to other Paleo-Siberian speaking groups. (Ainus, geographically, are classified as inhabitants of Siberia, after all) This leads us into the next segment: Culture: Ainu people’s traditional music is the same as general Siberian traditional music. They use a jaw-harp, and Ainu melodies sound very similar to Siberian melodies (or more specifically Chukotkan-Kamchadal ones) All of the cultural and linguistic similarities between Chukotkan-Kamchadals, and Ainus are from how close they are to each other. There obviously would have been great linguistic and cultural influence. PLEASE READ THIS, AS BACKGROUND INFO ON SIBERIANS, CHUKOTKAN-KAMCHADALS AND ESKIMOS: Keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadal culture is similar to that of Siberian Turkic culture (Yakut, Evens, etc) Chukotkan-Kamchadals culture is the midpoint between Turkic Siberian and North American Eskimo culture. ( _keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are Eskimo, ethnically and culturally wise. However, I will continue to refer to them as Chukotkan-Kamchadals to avoid confusion._ ) ON THE TOPIC OF LIGHT HAIR AND EYES: I am not white by any means. However, my eye color is olive and my hair is auburn/ginger. (My hair is dyed in my prof pic and I have contact lenses in) This is a genetic mutation. People can have genetic mutations that give them light hair and eyes, but not have even a drop of European blood. Ainus can have blue eyes, but this by no means makes them white. Let’s look at the Solomon Islanders: The Solomon Islands are in Melanesia. 60,000 to 100,000 years ago, Africans set sail and became the first people to settle the Melanesian islands. Melanesians are basically African (black) and their haplogroups line up with that conclusion. Either way, melanesians being from Sub-Saharan Africa is a fact. People from the Solomon Islands may inherit a genetic mutation that gives them blonde hair and blue eyes. _This does not make them white, nor does it mean that they are partially white._ I brought this up to show us that you do not have to be white to have these types of features. Asia and genetic mutations: It is a common occurrence that once in a while in Central Asia, a person will be born with either green or blue eyes, or maybe auburn or red hair. The same goes for Siberia. GENETIC MUTATIONS HAPPEN. They just do. It means nothing about race. Bottom line: The genetic mutations causing light hair and eyes in non-white people, is a completely different gene than the one that is passed on through white people that can lead to blonde hair and blue eyes etc. Eye and hair color does not indicate the racial identity of a certain ethnic group. *_JUST BECAUSE A COUPLE MONGOLIANS HAVE RED HAIR AND GREEN EYES, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE SECRETLY WHITE. NOR DOES IT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE RACE OF THE PEOPLE. IF THEY ARE ASIAN THEY ARE ASIAN. HAIR AND EYES COLOR DOESNT CHANGE THAT._* Genghis Khan having red hair and green eyes, does not mean he was white. whatsoever. Plus, it probably was more of a tint, than full on red and green. Ainus having blue eyes does not prove that they are “secretly white” In addition, there is plenty of haplogroup evidence to back up that they are not descendants of Europeans or white. Thank youuu :) Edit: another argument for Ainus being white are the fact that some Ainus can be lighter skinned. Pure Ainus can range from tan to light. While pure Ainus are usually mostly tan, they can still be very pale. This is due to the fact that Ainus are geographically siberians. In Siberia, people _can_ be very tan (the sun actually is pretty prominent in the summer. And in winter, light bounces off of the snow) however, most siberians are light skinned due to the fact that they need to absorb more vitamin D from the atmosphere. Again, light skin does not prove race. It is a environmental adaptation.

The connection between Korean and Japanese is almost certain. Like Japanese, the Korean language is suspected of originating from the Dravidian language family of southern India or the Austronesian language family. Although Japanese and Korean are different languages, no one can deny the fact that they are the two most similar languages on Earth.

Ryukyuans still think of themselves as ethnically distinct. My mom, who was born and raised in Okinawa, didn't forget to teach me and my siblings that. Genetic studies also suggest that Ryukyuans have more Jomon extraction. I myself share many features with the Ainu, namely body and facial hair.
Even though I've never been anywhere in Japan or East Asia, and I've just read about those parts, I love Hokkaido. It's quite similar in climate and many other physical aspects to New England, Upstate New York, and adjacent portions of Canada (e.g. Montreal, where I live). It's way less crowded than the rest of Japan, and the original ethnic stock (Ainu) is much different from much of the rest of Japan. Don't get me wrong, I love Japanese culture as a whole and I love the rest of Japan, but Hokkaido is something else.
Because of the ocean currents, East Asia's climate is pretty similar to North America's east coast at the same latitudes. Tokyo is at about the latitude of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sapporo is about level with Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Southern Kyushu is about level with Charleston, South Carolina. This is why Japan, Korea, and China have such humid summers compared with the relatively dry summers in the western USA.
Vermont here, Also, on the other end of the world, southern New Zealand is at 45 south which matches the N45 parallel going through Swanton, VT just south of QC where you are. In fact there was an incident a couple years ago where there was so much snow in southern NZ that the roof of the local auditorium collapsed which sounds like something that would happen to us up here in QC/VT.
Funny enough, the Ainu didnt even settle into Hokkaido until the 13th century when they were separated from the original Emishi in the tohoku region. Hell, they didnt even call themselves “Ainu” until then.
If you do get a chance to visit Hokkaido, definitely go see Upopoy Ainu Culture Museum and Park! It's brand new but hasn't seen many visitors because of the pandemic.
While growing up, my mom would refer to being Uchinanchu. She spoke her dialect with her brothers and sisters, half of whom had stronger facial features than the others. I would love to learn more about the Uchinanchu people.
@@janettaschuch3591 Yes just a lot more transhumanism going on in ten years, you know those touch screens you could implant in your for arm, imagine that times 100. 🙃
The people called the Yamato people are a mixed race of the indigenous Jomon people who came to the Japanese archipelago about 38,000 years ago and the Yangtze people (South China), an agricultural people who came to Japan about 5,000 years ago. After that, about 1500 years ago, when Baekje on the Korean Peninsula was about to be destroyed, a large number of Han refugees came in and mixed blood to form the current Japanese.
It's amazing how climate and environment radically change the physical characteristics of ethnic groups... Who'd imagine the Andamanese, The Tibetan, and the Ainu are genetically related?
The majority of modern Japanese has ancestry from the Yayoi People (average 90%). (range from 80 to 100%). Yayoi People were present on parts of the Korean peninsula since about 1500 BCE, before they either lived in southeastern China (possibly the Wu state) or around the Yan state. The Yayoi were not related to the proto-Koreans who arrived from Korea in the southern Korean peninsula at around 300 BCE causing the Yayoi Migration/Invasion in Japan.
Ryukyuan (Okinawan) here. I too, am interested to hear more. I know personally, I have a mix of native Ryukyuan (high level of jomon/austronesian ancestry most likely. Similar phenotype, hairy and all that) and Han Chinese who began to inhabit Okinawa in the 13th century, forming a scholar-bureaucrat aristocratoc class that developed the art of Karate. Of course, when Japan took over, a lot of our history, culture, and language was supressed, sadly.
@@nicholasjohnson91That sounds very interesting. I hope that one day Okinawan history will finally be brought to light. So many various tribes and ethnic groups have had their historical accomplishment either forgotten or demonized. People tend to forget that history is written by the winners. And that in itself is just natural considering the selfish nature humans can resolve into.
Yi Sun-sin, the most worthless hero in history, of whom South Korea is proud, was ultimately killed by Shimazu soldiers and had little impact on the war, merely attacking Japanese convoys as guerrillas. In the invasion of Korea, the Japanese army attacked South Korea with 150,000 troops, but the total number of Japanese troops was 600,000. The number of 150,000 people corresponds to 25% of the total military force. Don't forget the fact that these 25% captured Seoul in 3 weeks and advanced to Pyongyang, North Korea, within 3 months. The power relationship between Japan and South Korea has always been one-sided and has never been an equal power relationship. It's not a relationship between Germany and France, it's a relationship between Germany and Poland.
I really love Japan, a big Part of my European live, was inpacted by japanese culture. Its the only asian country I wanna visit definetly, the other countries are maybe, maybe not. But big respect from Macedonia, Japan makes the best cars in the world 🇲🇰❤️🇯🇵
I am Japanese. Japanese people have very different faces, so the biggest identity for Japanese people is "language". A person who speaks fluent Japanese is considered "Japanese". A person whose father and mother are Japanese but cannot speak Japanese is not considered Japanese. During World War II, when the Japanese army took control of Southeast Asia, Japan built schools there, taught Japanese, and gave them Japanese names. In Manchukuo, which was created by the Japanese army, Chinese, Russians, Koreans, Mongolians, and Manchus coexisted in addition to the Japanese. The myth that "the Japanese are pedigreeists" is a hoax created by the Western media. It's the Westerners' own fault. The Japanese have little resistance to mixed races.
You can't get accurate information from a video. The origins of people is always controversial and you can't expect to get the information from a video which even don't have listed reference. I don't know if other information is accurate but one thing for sure, cantonese people are never just as.. people adopted Chinese culture. They have as.. mix with han people.
The first Japanese known as Jomonjin (Jomon people) were in fact two tribes. One proto-Mongoloid and one Caucasoid group. They mixed more than 10,000 years ago. Thus Jōmon show connections to both Mongoloids and Caucasoids.
Do you have any documentation? When Japanese do genetic testing it as an overwhelming whole show basically no 'Caucasoid' ancestry. Can you share more on this?
@@AdNG1 Because only Jomon people in the North had Caucasoid ancestry. And those Jomon people were only 15% Caucasoid. Japanese people are 12% Jomon on average. This means a Japanese person is 1.8% Caucasoid on average if all of his or her Jomon ancestry is from the North. But the problem is that there's no Japanese people all of whose Jomon ancestry is from the North except for some Ainu people. The non-Ainu Japanese ancestors of all non-Ainu Japanese people in Hokkaido or Tohoku originally came from other regions pretty recently. So the only Japanese people whose DNA results would show statistically significant amounts of Caucasoid ancestry are Ainu Japanese people, which I'm pretty sure none of the Japanese people you saw show their DNA results are.
*Update with anthropological, archeological, eugenics and linguistics evidence to debunk Koreans' claims on Japanese genetics, language and culture. 1) Eugenics - The latest genetic research have concluded that most modern Japanese (Kofun) originated from Yangtze basin, Yellow river, China while they are not determined Han Chinese. This accounts for more than 70% of modern Japanese people. The rest are relegated to Yayoi, Jomon, Ainus, Ryukuans and the inevitable mix of these varying genetics. It's crucial to add that the Yayoi are not Koreans despite the persistent claims over the Koreans. They are related to Japanese as they are to the Han Chinese. Japanese pirates who raided Korean coasts are recorded numerous times to be ethnic Han Chinese. Rice DNA destroys Korean migration theory. Koreans didn't even carry a majority of rice in Kyushu. The Korean peninsula is a mountainous terrain which isn't ideal for growing crops or rice. The technology of rice irrigation itself came from Yangtze river which further cements the theory of Japanese-China origins. Wa (Japan) state ruler Queen Himiko claimed herself to be descendent of King Taibo of Wu. Japanese carry far greater Ydna (O3) than Koreans even though Koreans carry a large amount as well due to Han Chinese. Haploid 2b are given South Korean through Japanese excursions, diplomatic marriages, frequent raids from Xiongnu, Xiangbein (Mongolic) and Jurchen (Manchu) raids upon Korean territories. This is why North Koreans have almost no 2b. Koreans lacked naval abilities, navigation and sea warfare, therefore none of the Korean states dared to live close to the shores and Silla was almost completely destroyed by frequent raids from Japan. Han Chinese commandaries existed everywhere on the peninsula and even the modern day capital Seoul (City of Han) named after the Han Chinese as well as it's flag designed by a Chinese official based on Yin Yang, Bagua, I-Ching and Taoist philosophy. Koreans are closely related to the Evenki. They also share the same practice of worshipping Totem poles which doesn't exist in Japan. Phenotype wise, Koreans have extremely thin small eyes, straight hair, big bodies, wide jaw, flat face, high cheekbones while Japanese have almond to big eyes, more refined hair, longer face, slender body, dental protusion/misalignment, bowed legs. The 2 couldn't be more different. While there are some Japanese that may look Korean, one could argue the same with some Koreans looking Chinese. There's also the migration of Zainichi Koreans after the war who accounts for Korean genes detected in the Japanese populace. 2) Archeology/Artifacts - Jared Diamond argued that Japan had historical relics similiar to that of Korea which led to his absurd conclusion Japanese thus originated from Korea. This couldn't be further from the truth. In the video, Jared refers to the bronze mirror called Shinjū-kyō (神獣鏡, "deity and beast mirror") which is an ancient round bronze mirror decorated with images of gods and animals from Chinese mythology. The shinjū-kyō style of bronze mirror originated from the Chinese magic mirrors and was frequently produced during the Han dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Six Dynasties (1st-6th centuries CE). Therefore we can deduce that Koreans also copied this from the Chinese, and Japanese could be from China or learnt the techniques directly from China. 3) Linguistics - Koreans often claim Korean and Japanese are in the same Altaic category of languages. However this is a huge fallacy. Japanese language is uniquely Japonic and Korean is a Tungus/Altaic language similiar to Evenki. Koreans would argue from the point of Korean and Japanese sharing a similar grammar. English and Chinese also share the same grammar, it doesn't make them the same. The Altaic hypothesis has also been debunked by historical linguists Alexander Vovin and Toh Soo Hee. Other than grammar, the 2 languages are not related due to a lack of cognates other than loanwords (Onyomi, Kanji + Hanja pronunciation) which are both borrowed from the Chinese language. Infact the Korean language is strongly influenced by Dravidian languages like Tamil besides Chinese. Hundreds of words, basic Nouns and pronouns like Appa (father) and Ama (mother) are exactly the same in Korean and Tamil. This is completely different from Japanese. A Korean King Suro of Gaya also married an Indian woman, Heo Hwang-ok, also known as Suriratna. The Indian connection can't be understated.
This video is important since many of Japan-related videos completely ignore how Japan started. Japan was formed when Yayoi that were ancient Chinese at one point merged with Jamon who were earlier settlers. Chinese nationalist loves to say "They have stolen from us.." when Japan simply have 60% of its ancestral root in ancient China. Funny thing is, modern Chinese are barely related with ethnic group of ancient Chinese civilization. Not even racially connected for Yin. They are a group of people who invaded, killed and expelled ancient Chinese.
Your statement isn't based on academic researches though. Yayoi were thought to be a group of Japonic speaker and their closest ethnicity was ancient Korean, not Chinese. Japanese and Korean share Y-haplogroup O1b2, which is rarely seen among Chinese.
Japan formed with the arrival of the recent East Asian related migrants, but modern Japanese are Ainu mixed with East Asians. Japanese are NOT Chinese. If a half Black half Japanese existed, you would not be calling that thing a Japanese person. 😊

Korea has the highest fraud rate and is the only country whose fraud rate exceeds that of robbery in OECD. Also, all of the perjury, calumny, and fraud rates in S Korea are some 160-670 times higher than those of Japan.
@Like a g6 ??????? What an idiot. You cannot even read your own history as they are all written in Chinese characters. Your TRUE history is too sad to teach that your government decided to teach you fantasies instead. How miserable...
The ancestors of the Ainu are the Jōmon people, the natives of Japan. They had multiple origins. Some East Asian, Central Asian and West Eurasian. Ainu preserved West Eurasian phenotypes from one of their ancestors, which were related to paleolithic Europeans. So in other words they were predominantly Caucasoid. A Caucasoid-related component is found in modern Ainu, and in very minor percentage also in Japanese, Native Taiwanese and Ulchi of Siberia.
I mean I see that many Japanese people have very bony noses and body hair. But this is probably due to them being related to a Eurasian ancestor,not so much as a Caucasian ancestor.
Japanese are 96,7% Yayoi (East Asian). Jōmon may be related to Europeans, but they are extinct nearly today. Most Ainu even have mostly East Asian ancestry today.
To be specific, they were originally the Emishi from the tohoku region that separated in the 13th century. They only came to be known as “Ainu” after they settled into Hokkaido later on.

It always instructive and entertaining to watch your videos Masaman! If you are looking for new ideas, may I suggest a video about the Berber people. In my opinion their history gets less attention than the Roman conquest of North Africa and later the Arab conquest. In fact many Tunisians like myself are/were unaware of their Berber origin and consider themselves as Arab primarily because the Tunisian language is an Arab language.
Anthropologically Jōmon people are a Caucasoid related group from southern Siberia. Genetically they are not close to other East Eurasians, but show some connections to Native American groups in the northwestern coastal areas of North America. They contributed about 80% ancestry to Ainu, 46% to Amis people (a native Taiwanese group), 8% to Ulchi, a Siberian group and 3% to Yamato Japanese. Another study suggests 10% in Yamato Japanese.
Japanese hate to admit the Yayoi came from Korea, and insist they some how came from China. NOT possible. people did not have navigational skill to jump from China to Japan over open sea back then. They had to go through Korean peninsula and cross into Japanese Islands via narrow straight. massive immigration of Southern Chinese into Japan, without going through alread heavily populated Korean peninsula is just simply not possible.
Yayoi came from southeastern China. Than they lived on southern part of "korean" peninsular. Than proto-Koreans from Manchuria invaded them and most proto-Japanese migrated to Japan. But some stayed. They are named "Peninsular-Japonic". Many recent studies say Pre-Baekje, Pre-Silla, Gaya and Tamna was Peninsular-Japonic before the Koreans came. So Yayoi can not be ethnic Koreans, as Koreans were located in Manchuria during the Yayoi Invasion of Japan.
@@Kenny-fh3om They came from Korea , not wrong but needs to be corrected. Direction wise its true but ethnicity at the time is different from those who are now living in Korea.
@soji okita clearly, there were people in Japan before Far East Asian looking people came over from Korean Peninsula. These people came into Japan during the ice age when there was land bridge between Japan and Okinawa, Taiwan, all the way to Philipins and beyond. they look totally different from Far East Asians. Most of thse "Native" Japanese were killed off, and what remains were intermarried. That's why today's Japanese look like Far East Asian, and Not like South East Asians or Austronesians. Obviously there are some Japanese who have these Austronesian features, but most Japanese look like Chinese/Korean/Mongolian.

A lot of ur info about the Jomon/Ainu is wrong. They weren't taller and lighter than the Yayoi; in fact, the opposite was true. They were darker and shorter.
Yes. That explains the main physical difference between the Koreans and the Japanese. Quite similar looking but the Japanese are shorter overall, the Ainu input most likely. Don't know about darker. I don't think Ainu were that much darker to make a significant difference. Japanese spoken language is very similar to Korean which is very similar to Mongolian. Koreans are a mix btwn northern Mongol/Altaic input and the South East Asian input from Indian regions. Japanese are mostly ancient and modern Koreans. Just like the Anglo-Saxons who replaced the original Druid inhabitants by multiple migrations from the Viking regions of the North, there are records of continual movement of ppl from the Korean peninsula throughout history to the Japanese isles, mostly ppl who were fleeing the peninsula after their kingdoms were over thrown. There are still towns of ppl made of descendants of the Goguryeo, and Baekjae, the two kingdoms in Korea that were defeated by the kingdom of Shilla. Older Ainu inhabitants of South East Asian origin, apparently share the same fate as the Druids. They were replaced by disease, battle, colonization and assimilation. Their modern estimate according to Wiki is 25K to 200K(assumed)
@@jacobh9487 In old Japanese paintings, the Emishi/Ainu were consistently depicted as dark and hairy, several shades darker than the Japanese themselves, so that tells you something about their skin color. And also Koreans don't have significant SE Asian or Indian admixture. Overall both the Koreans and the Japanese are fairly northern, more northern than the Chinese. The closest East Asian population to SE Asians is the South Chinese.

I'm Japanese and I have a lot of body hair. Some of the Japanese people, the Yamato race, inherited the characteristics of both the Jomon people and the Yayoi people. I live in the south of Japan, but I feel that I have inherited more Jomon genes than the Japanese on Honshu. Japanese people have the widest variety of face types.
Finally, the Truth about the Ainu people. I can't believe the audacity and misleading facts from some know-it-all youtubers who post complete B.S. on Ainu people and where they came from. This is on point. Thank you.
I am a Nisei and I have studied "Who are the Japanese and where did they come from?"First, is the Jomon, "hunters and gatherers," who migrated from Africa with other humans and ended up in Formosa. Formosa was an Island where at least 11 other people migrated there. stheir culture is identified by a distinct rope pattern pottery. They adopted a series of Austronesian words. They hid their pottery in the hillside of Formosa and left traveling northward until they arrived at Kyushu island, Japan. There, they lived both in Kyushu and the main island of Honshu, Japan.. Thousands of years later, another group of people, Yayoi came from Korea and merged with the Jomon.The Jomon originally lived near Baikal, Siberia. The language, grammar is Altaic (Subject-Ob'ject-Verb) The Yayoi also practice Shamanism that is common in that Siberian One of Japan's queen, HImiko practiced Shamanism.that originated in the Siberian region.region. Thus, the Japanese are half Korean. My DNA matches this fact exactly. The Ainu is an enigma because most Japanese are not hairy like the Ainu. But the Ainu is said to be related to the Jomon. Around 2010, archeologists found the Jomon's pottery hidden in caves of Formosa. `Japanese language is syllabic and they did not have a written language for centuries. Without a written language, they used the Chinese characters that had the same sound as the Japanese syllabic sound. Chinee grammar is (Subject-Verb-Ob'ject). Thus, the Japanese are not related to the Chinese.
you are the only person who knows the correct story on this topic ,btw.not half but 99.9 % japanese citizens are of korean ethnicities. the jomon is the actual ainu people and got nothing to do with korean kei yayois and thats what you are, a korean kei btw stop calling yourself nissei . you are a japanese and maybe a u,s citizen by rights. trust me I live in Hawaii and they still call japanese as JAP here and mainland,, dont be a fool hiding behind a fake nationality usually given by a fake birthright or immigration. trust me.. I have been there and done that
Hello, I am Takashi (hobby geneticist and interested in Northeast Asian history). It is a common misconception that all Ainu looked "Caucasian" or were very hairy. There were always many Ainu which looked typically Northeast Asian or like Inuit (long before we Japanese arrived in Hokkaido). The Ainu language itself descended from the Okhotsk culture and people which looked like Itelmens or Yakuts. Ainu history is very complex and for the sake of respect, it should be noted that the people speaking proto-Ainu and the Ainu culture largely originated from the Okhotsk, which were related to other Northeast Asians and eastern Siberians. Also, is is a common misconception that all Ainu have haplogroup D. Southern Ainu have it predominantly at 75%, while northern Hokkaido Ainu have more C (the same clade as Athabaskans in northern America). Greetings.
All the latest genetic studies have eliminated any possible Andamanese connection. If you look at these two ethnic groups it's not hard to see why there must have been a huge error in the original data.
Which ethnic group do you believe is older? The Andamanese have been referred to as the children of Adam. They have no genetic admixture; 100% homosapien -sapien; or wise man..im an etymology geek.
My understanding is that Japan had been inhabitated by Jomon people who are paleo mongolid might be moved from Southern pacific. They might be unagricultural and depended on hunting and fishing. Their skull are different from today's Japanese, and shorter and hairly. Later Yayoi people moved from East Asia continent who are known as neo-mongolid adopted to cold climate. Yayoi brought rice firm and other agricultural skills to Japan. The Japanese are overwhelmingly descended from Yayoi and Jomon DNA linage might be less than 20%. Jomon Linage is more visible among ethnic Ainu and also can be visible among Okinawan and Southern Kyushu area. There sould be more acheological study required that Yayoi people moved out of Korean peninsula and fled to Japan by push factor or came from another route.
Love your videos, one because they're very informative and spark my interest in certain areas and two you don't have that overbearing egotistical personality that some history buff or geography buff TH-camr content makers have. where they push themselves more than the actual history or whatever topic they're looking at.
At 10:17 just to note, that's a photo of Korean independence leaders who governed the Korean gov't in exile, not Japanese colonizers. Most notably, the man in the center front is Ahn Chang-ho.
My family has been in the US since the turn of the 20th century. I took the DNA test and my paternal haplogroup is OF and my maternal group is M7. The paternal haplogroup is common in Papua New Guinea and my DNA relatives are spread through the Austronesian area. So your analysis is correct. As more people participate in DNA ancestry, the data will become more evident.
Gotta be a Mongolian connection to the Yamato. Look at many of the Mongolian sumo stars in Japan such as Hakuho. They are indistinguishable from Japanese. Besides, they easily learn Japanese like Dutch and Scandinavians pick up English.
That's because they have common ancestors. But that doesn't make it correct to say Japanese have "Mongolian ancestors" because the ancestors that Japanese share with Mongolians weren't "Mongolians."
In this video no mention was made of the possible Japanese - Hungarian connection. The Grammatical structure of Japanese is fundamentally identical with the Uralic Languages. Hungarian belongs to this group as a language. There are numerous Japanese words which acquaint with hungarian eg. cho - Snow Tabi - eat nourish, sui - sour, hon - country etc, Hungarian sounds or words may sound japanese but their meaning is different. A similar religious aspect may also interest readers of this column. According to Japanese beliefs the Sun is a Japanese God and similarly in ancient Hungarian the Sun was also revered as God. According to Professor Mitsuo Matsumoto of Asaka, the closest relatives to the Hungarians are the Japanese.
Japanese words and names are very similar and sometimes exactly the same as Luganda words (from Uganda) and the neighbouring Bantu language words. For example names like Kato (Kato is a name given to the male twin born last in luganda), Kagawa (we have Nagawa and Kagwa), Jinja which is a shrine in Japanese means "stone" in luganda, "iiyee" means "no" in Japanese but "iiyee" means "yes" in Luganda. Kyoto means a fire place in Luganda etc
Tests using phylogenetic relationship suggests that the Jōmon (ancestors of the Ainu) have about 86% “East Asian” related ancestry and about 14% West Asian/European related ancestry. Study made by Kanzawa-Kiriyama et al. 2019. This “East Asian related group” was the proto-Mongoloid (like Native Americans) and the “West Asian/European” was a Caucasoid group (possibly like Cro-Magnon of Europe). This results are in agreement with various other recent DNA studies and anthropologic studies. Thus the “pseudo-Caucasoid” look in some modern Japanese people (and of Ainu).
Jōmon have no single DNA shared with Andamanese. Even their D lineage D-M55 is isolated since more than 50,000 years. Andamanese D arrived into the Andamanese only 2,300 years ago from admixture with Riang tribes from Northeast India.
Very similar grammatical language structure can be found between Japan and Korea but Chinese is different. As one of similar language example is Hitachi (sunrise =HaeDoJi in Korean) very interesting
I know some Japanese nationalists will not like to hear this but the modern Japanese language and culture evolved from the original Baekje language and culture of the southern Korean peninsula. These Yamato people from Baekje went over to the Japanese archipelago during the end of the Three Kingdoms period when the Silla Kingdom (from the help of the Tang) pushed these Baekje people into Japan. These Baekje people became the Yamato of Japan (the Wa-jin). They had superior military power and technology over the indigenous Ainu, Jomon, Hayatos, Kumabitos, Saekis, Misehashi, etc. They conquered and assimilated many of these indigenous tribes and some fled to northern Japan or the Okinawa Islands. Many Japanese don't like to acknowledge this but it is true. Japanese language and culture originated from a Korean Kingdom 1500 years ago.
But you know that pre-Baekje was Japonic. Peninsular Japonic. The proto-Japanese lived in southern Korea before they were pushed into Japan by invading proto-Koreans from Manchuria. So I think we can not say from Baelje language as the ancient Baekje language was a relative of Japanese but not of Korean. Japanese and Korean are two different language families.
@@teamaster9831 The Korean and Japanese languages have almost the same grammar even though the vocabulary is different. This is no coincidence. There must be a shared common language one time. Japanese just incorporated a lot of Austronesian words over the centuries. I'm not saying Korean and Japanese are Altaic but they do have a common source.
Grammar or typological similarities can not determine relationship. Koreanic and Japonic are not related. Japanese has only some Austronesian words. Japanese is a Japonic language. But Japonic and Koreanic influenced each other during the end of the Mumun period and during the end of the Jin state in southern Korea. They do not share a common origin. Koreanic may be a “partially Altaic” language but it is still disputed. Also proto-Japanese had SVO grammar and only since the contact with Koreanic (and maybe Ainu) Japanese changed to SOV.
Jarad Diamond recently said on TV "Japanese in the west part of Japan are Korean " His blunt talks shocked many Koreans!! I highly respect of Japanese have kept the original ancient cultures very well while Koreans influenced by Christianity disrpected their own culture which is a big shame! We can find many ancient Korean traces in Japan!
There is a theory that the native language of Guarani might have some connection to Japan, Australia or Siberia. Thats what this famous Paraguayan writer said - th-cam.com/video/5hF41v8GKr4/w-d-xo.htmlm37s
Japanese are the ones who propagated this false narative that Ainu are some how Caucasoid. Ainu ARE NOT white people. If you look at old Japanese paintings done 300 years or older, Ainu are always depicted as dark skined short and hairy people, in contrast to Japanese. Also Japanese insist that Ainu came down from Siberia into Northern Japanese island, which is a lie. Ainu occupied Japanese island, and only pushed North by the Modern Japanese immigration. Ainu people entered Japanese Islands from the South, during the ice age when there was landbridge between Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Philippine, all the way down to Austaralia.
The Jōmon population during the Jōmon period in Japan is a mix of proto-Mongoloid and Caucasoid groups. The Yayoi population is Mongoloid from mainland East Asia. The Yayoi are the early Japonic speakers. Modern Japanese are primarily descendants of the Yayoi. Jōmon admixture is very minor. The Jōmon exhibited paternal haplogroups D-M55, C1a1 and C2. D-M55 is only found in Japan, C1a1 also only in Japan (C1a2 is found in Europeans and Arabs (minor)), and C2 is common in Siberia and Japan. The Yayoi exhibit O1, O1b2, and O2, which are common in all East Asia, Southeast Asia and some other areas. For further information please see Japanese history textbook or online library, Tokyo national museum, Tokyo University, Kyoto university, Osaka, Sapporo, and other scientific journals.
Very wrong troll, there are no anthropologic or genetic studies the support your claims. Jōmon were not Australoid and Japanese have no Australoid DNA. There is also no Australoid admixture in other Asians. Only some Southeast Asians and Polynesians have admixture. But in Southeast Asia not more than 5 to 10% and Polynesians have not more than 20%. Some even have zero. Again, get some facts.

"The Ethnic Origin of the Japenese"
George Takei: "Oooooooh, My!"
Quinten Whyte ( Im putting this everywhere to educate people on Ainus )
I’m partially Ainu, partially Polynesian, and partially Chukchi (Chukotkan-Kamchadal of Siberian Far East) There is an even toss up between Ainus being either from haplogroup C (Australian aborigine) or from haplogroup D (the first people out of Africa to settle Asia)
For those of you wondering about the cultural similarities between North American Eskimos and Ainus:
(keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are part of the Eskimo ethnic and cultural family)
The Ainu language is a Paleo-Siberian language. A couple of other Siberian tribes who speak a Paleo-Siberian language include: Koryaks, Chukchis, and Itelmen (just to name a few) Languages in the Paleo-Siberian linguistic family very similar to Eskimo-aleut languages. However, they are classified as different families due to structure.
All Siberian tribes that speak a language from the Paleo-Siberian family tend to be indigenous to either Chukotka, or the Kamchatka peninsula. The indigenous people of Chukotka and Kamchatka are all ethnically and culturally related. (If not, the same) They are what we would call “Chukotkan-Kamchadals” and Chukotkan-Kamchadals, are a part of the general ethno-cultural group we call “Eskimo” which is why there are big similarities between North American eskimos and Chukotkan-Kamchadals. They are both “Eskimo”
However, Ainus are not ethnically related to Chukotkan-Kamchadals or North American eskimos. The reason that Ainu people speak a paleo-Siberian language is because of how close the Ainu live to other Paleo-Siberian speaking groups. (Ainus, geographically, are classified as inhabitants of Siberia, after all) This leads us into the next segment:
Culture:
Ainu people’s traditional music is the same as general Siberian traditional music. They use a jaw-harp, and Ainu melodies sound very similar to Siberian melodies (or more specifically Chukotkan-Kamchadal ones)
All of the cultural and linguistic similarities between Chukotkan-Kamchadals, and Ainus are from how close they are to each other. There obviously would have been great linguistic and cultural influence.
PLEASE READ THIS, AS BACKGROUND INFO ON SIBERIANS, CHUKOTKAN-KAMCHADALS AND ESKIMOS:
Keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadal culture is similar to that of Siberian Turkic culture (Yakut, Evens, etc) Chukotkan-Kamchadals culture is the midpoint between Turkic Siberian and North American Eskimo culture. ( _keep in mind that Chukotkan-Kamchadals are Eskimo, ethnically and culturally wise. However, I will continue to refer to them as Chukotkan-Kamchadals to avoid confusion._ )
ON THE TOPIC OF LIGHT HAIR AND EYES:
I am not white by any means. However, my eye color is olive and my hair is auburn/ginger. (My hair is dyed in my prof pic and I have contact lenses in) This is a genetic mutation. People can have genetic mutations that give them light hair and eyes, but not have even a drop of European blood.
Ainus can have blue eyes, but this by no means makes them white.
Let’s look at the Solomon Islanders:
The Solomon Islands are in Melanesia. 60,000 to 100,000 years ago, Africans set sail and became the first people to settle the Melanesian islands. Melanesians are basically African (black) and their haplogroups line up with that conclusion. Either way, melanesians being from Sub-Saharan Africa is a fact.
People from the Solomon Islands may inherit a genetic mutation that gives them blonde hair and blue eyes. _This does not make them white, nor does it mean that they are partially white._ I brought this up to show us that you do not have to be white to have these types of features.
Asia and genetic mutations:
It is a common occurrence that once in a while in Central Asia, a person will be born with either green or blue eyes, or maybe auburn or red hair. The same goes for Siberia. GENETIC MUTATIONS HAPPEN. They just do. It means nothing about race.
Bottom line:
The genetic mutations causing light hair and eyes in non-white people, is a completely different gene than the one that is passed on through white people that can lead to blonde hair and blue eyes etc. Eye and hair color does not indicate the racial identity of a certain ethnic group.
*_JUST BECAUSE A COUPLE MONGOLIANS HAVE RED HAIR AND GREEN EYES, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE SECRETLY WHITE. NOR DOES IT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE RACE OF THE PEOPLE. IF THEY ARE ASIAN THEY ARE ASIAN. HAIR AND EYES COLOR DOESNT CHANGE THAT._*
Genghis Khan having red hair and green eyes, does not mean he was white. whatsoever. Plus, it probably was more of a tint, than full on red and green.
Ainus having blue eyes does not prove that they are “secretly white” In addition, there is plenty of haplogroup evidence to back up that they are not descendants of Europeans or white.
Thank youuu :)
Edit: another argument for Ainus being white are the fact that some Ainus can be lighter skinned. Pure Ainus can range from tan to light. While pure Ainus are usually mostly tan, they can still be very pale. This is due to the fact that Ainus are geographically siberians. In Siberia, people _can_ be very tan (the sun actually is pretty prominent in the summer. And in winter, light bounces off of the snow) however, most siberians are light skinned due to the fact that they need to absorb more vitamin D from the atmosphere. Again, light skin does not prove race. It is a environmental adaptation.

Even though I've never been anywhere in Japan or East Asia, and I've just read about those parts, I love Hokkaido. It's quite similar in climate and many other physical aspects to New England, Upstate New York, and adjacent portions of Canada (e.g. Montreal, where I live). It's way less crowded than the rest of Japan, and the original ethnic stock (Ainu) is much different from much of the rest of Japan. Don't get me wrong, I love Japanese culture as a whole and I love the rest of Japan, but Hokkaido is something else.
Because of the ocean currents, East Asia's climate is pretty similar to North America's east coast at the same latitudes. Tokyo is at about the latitude of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sapporo is about level with Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Southern Kyushu is about level with Charleston, South Carolina. This is why Japan, Korea, and China have such humid summers compared with the relatively dry summers in the western USA.
Vermont here, Also, on the other end of the world, southern New Zealand is at 45 south which matches the N45 parallel going through Swanton, VT just south of QC where you are. In fact there was an incident a couple years ago where there was so much snow in southern NZ that the roof of the local auditorium collapsed which sounds like something that would happen to us up here in QC/VT.
Hokkaido is very nice indeed👍
Funny enough, the Ainu didnt even settle into Hokkaido until the 13th century when they were separated from the original Emishi in the tohoku region. Hell, they didnt even call themselves “Ainu” until then.
If you do get a chance to visit Hokkaido, definitely go see Upopoy Ainu Culture Museum and Park! It's brand new but hasn't seen many visitors because of the pandemic.

The people called the Yamato people are a mixed race of the indigenous Jomon people who came to the Japanese archipelago about 38,000 years ago and the Yangtze people (South China), an agricultural people who came to Japan about 5,000 years ago.
After that, about 1500 years ago, when Baekje on the Korean Peninsula was about to be destroyed, a large number of Han refugees came in and mixed blood to form the current Japanese.

It's amazing how climate and environment radically change the physical characteristics of ethnic groups...
Who'd imagine the Andamanese, The Tibetan, and the Ainu are genetically related?
The majority of modern Japanese has ancestry from the Yayoi People (average 90%). (range from 80 to 100%). Yayoi People were present on parts of the Korean peninsula since about 1500 BCE, before they either lived in southeastern China (possibly the Wu state) or around the Yan state. The Yayoi were not related to the proto-Koreans who arrived from Korea in the southern Korean peninsula at around 300 BCE causing the Yayoi Migration/Invasion in Japan.
Spot on, but for some nationalistic reason it is disputed by the Japanese of the present time.
I'm rather interested in the Okinawan people.
Well go watch a video about the Okinawan people then.
yes me too he should make a video about okinawa people too. i went there last month, amazing place!
Ryukyuan (Okinawan) here. I too, am interested to hear more. I know personally, I have a mix of native Ryukyuan (high level of jomon/austronesian ancestry most likely. Similar phenotype, hairy and all that) and Han Chinese who began to inhabit Okinawa in the 13th century, forming a scholar-bureaucrat aristocratoc class that developed the art of Karate. Of course, when Japan took over, a lot of our history, culture, and language was supressed, sadly.
@@nicholasjohnson91That sounds very interesting. I hope that one day Okinawan history will finally be brought to light. So many various tribes and ethnic groups have had their historical accomplishment either forgotten or demonized. People tend to forget that history is written by the winners.

Yi Sun-sin, the most worthless hero in history, of whom South Korea is proud, was ultimately killed by Shimazu soldiers and had little impact on the war, merely attacking Japanese convoys as guerrillas. In the invasion of Korea, the Japanese army attacked South Korea with 150,000 troops, but the total number of Japanese troops was 600,000. The number of 150,000 people corresponds to 25% of the total military force. Don't forget the fact that these 25% captured Seoul in 3 weeks and advanced to Pyongyang, North Korea, within 3 months. The power relationship between Japan and South Korea has always been one-sided and has never been an equal power relationship. It's not a relationship between Germany and France, it's a relationship between Germany and Poland.

Japanese people have very different faces, so the biggest identity for Japanese people is "language".
A person who speaks fluent Japanese is considered "Japanese".
A person whose father and mother are Japanese but cannot speak Japanese is not considered Japanese.
During World War II, when the Japanese army took control of Southeast Asia, Japan built schools there, taught Japanese, and gave them Japanese names.
In Manchukuo, which was created by the Japanese army, Chinese, Russians, Koreans, Mongolians, and Manchus coexisted in addition to the Japanese.

@ makes sense
The numbers Mason! What do they mean?
I love the fact that Japan is so true to itself.
The first Japanese known as Jomonjin (Jomon people) were in fact two tribes. One proto-Mongoloid and one Caucasoid group. They mixed more than 10,000 years ago. Thus Jōmon show connections to both Mongoloids and Caucasoids.
Do you have any documentation? When Japanese do genetic testing it as an overwhelming whole show basically no 'Caucasoid' ancestry. Can you share more on this?
@@AdNG1 he made it up
@@AdNG1 Because only Jomon people in the North had Caucasoid ancestry. And those Jomon people were only 15% Caucasoid. Japanese people are 12% Jomon on average. This means a Japanese person is 1.8% Caucasoid on average if all of his or her Jomon ancestry is from the North. But the problem is that there's no Japanese people all of whose Jomon ancestry is from the North except for some Ainu people. The non-Ainu Japanese ancestors of all non-Ainu Japanese people in Hokkaido or Tohoku originally came from other regions pretty recently. So the only Japanese people whose DNA results would show statistically significant amounts of Caucasoid ancestry are Ainu Japanese people, which I'm pretty sure none of the Japanese people you saw show their DNA results are.
*Update with anthropological, archeological, eugenics and linguistics evidence to debunk Koreans' claims on Japanese genetics, language and culture.
1) Eugenics - The latest genetic research have concluded that most modern Japanese (Kofun) originated from Yangtze basin, Yellow river, China while they are not determined Han Chinese. This accounts for more than 70% of modern Japanese people. The rest are relegated to Yayoi, Jomon, Ainus, Ryukuans and the inevitable mix of these varying genetics. It's crucial to add that the Yayoi are not Koreans despite the persistent claims over the Koreans. They are related to Japanese as they are to the Han Chinese.
Japanese pirates who raided Korean coasts are recorded numerous times to be ethnic Han Chinese. Rice DNA destroys Korean migration theory. Koreans didn't even carry a majority of rice in Kyushu. The Korean peninsula is a mountainous terrain which isn't ideal for growing crops or rice. The technology of rice irrigation itself came from Yangtze river which further cements the theory of Japanese-China origins. Wa (Japan) state ruler Queen Himiko claimed herself to be descendent of King Taibo of Wu. Japanese carry far greater Ydna (O3) than Koreans even though Koreans carry a large amount as well due to Han Chinese.
Haploid 2b are given South Korean through Japanese excursions, diplomatic marriages, frequent raids from Xiongnu, Xiangbein (Mongolic) and Jurchen (Manchu) raids upon Korean territories. This is why North Koreans have almost no 2b. Koreans lacked naval abilities, navigation and sea warfare, therefore none of the Korean states dared to live close to the shores and Silla was almost completely destroyed by frequent raids from Japan. Han Chinese commandaries existed everywhere on the peninsula and even the modern day capital Seoul (City of Han) named after the Han Chinese as well as it's flag designed by a Chinese official based on Yin Yang, Bagua, I-Ching and Taoist philosophy.
Koreans are closely related to the Evenki. They also share the same practice of worshipping Totem poles which doesn't exist in Japan. Phenotype wise, Koreans have extremely thin small eyes, straight hair, big bodies, wide jaw, flat face, high cheekbones while Japanese have almond to big eyes, more refined hair, longer face, slender body, dental protusion/misalignment, bowed legs. The 2 couldn't be more different. While there are some Japanese that may look Korean, one could argue the same with some Koreans looking Chinese. There's also the migration of Zainichi Koreans after the war who accounts for Korean genes detected in the Japanese populace.
2) Archeology/Artifacts - Jared Diamond argued that Japan had historical relics similiar to that of Korea which led to his absurd conclusion Japanese thus originated from Korea. This couldn't be further from the truth.
In the video, Jared refers to the bronze mirror called Shinjū-kyō (神獣鏡, "deity and beast mirror") which is an ancient round bronze mirror decorated with images of gods and animals from Chinese mythology. The shinjū-kyō style of bronze mirror originated from the Chinese magic mirrors and was frequently produced during the Han dynasty, Three Kingdoms, and Six Dynasties (1st-6th centuries CE). Therefore we can deduce that Koreans also copied this from the Chinese, and Japanese could be from China or learnt the techniques directly from China.
3) Linguistics - Koreans often claim Korean and Japanese are in the same Altaic category of languages. However this is a huge fallacy. Japanese language is uniquely Japonic and Korean is a Tungus/Altaic language similiar to Evenki. Koreans would argue from the point of Korean and Japanese sharing a similar grammar. English and Chinese also share the same grammar, it doesn't make them the same. The Altaic hypothesis has also been debunked by historical linguists Alexander Vovin and Toh Soo Hee. Other than grammar, the 2 languages are not related due to a lack of cognates other than loanwords (Onyomi, Kanji + Hanja pronunciation) which are both borrowed from the Chinese language. Infact the Korean language is strongly influenced by Dravidian languages like Tamil besides Chinese. Hundreds of words, basic Nouns and pronouns like Appa (father) and Ama (mother) are exactly the same in Korean and Tamil. This is completely different from Japanese. A Korean King Suro of Gaya also married an Indian woman, Heo Hwang-ok, also known as Suriratna. The Indian connection can't be understated.
Can you do a origins series on the rest, various ethnicities of East Asia, such as Koreans, Han Chinese, Manchus/Jurchens, and Mongolians?
So many different ethnic groups! That's a good idea.
That is beyond this guy's ability.
You got a picture of Chinese nationalist not Japanese soldiers
This video is important since many of Japan-related videos completely ignore how Japan started. Japan was formed when Yayoi that were ancient Chinese at one point merged with Jamon who were earlier settlers. Chinese nationalist loves to say "They have stolen from us.." when Japan simply have 60% of its ancestral root in ancient China. Funny thing is, modern Chinese are barely related with ethnic group of ancient Chinese civilization. Not even racially connected for Yin. They are a group of people who invaded, killed and expelled ancient Chinese.
Japanese people are Chinese
Your statement isn't based on academic researches though. Yayoi were thought to be a group of Japonic speaker and their closest ethnicity was ancient Korean, not Chinese. Japanese and Korean share Y-haplogroup O1b2, which is rarely seen among Chinese.
Japan formed with the arrival of the recent East Asian related migrants, but modern Japanese are Ainu mixed with East Asians. Japanese are NOT Chinese. If a half Black half Japanese existed, you would not be calling that thing a Japanese person. 😊

The ancestors of the Ainu are the Jōmon people, the natives of Japan. They had multiple origins. Some East Asian, Central Asian and West Eurasian. Ainu preserved West Eurasian phenotypes from one of their ancestors, which were related to paleolithic Europeans. So in other words they were predominantly Caucasoid. A Caucasoid-related component is found in modern Ainu, and in very minor percentage also in Japanese, Native Taiwanese and Ulchi of Siberia.
I mean I see that many Japanese people have very bony noses and body hair. But this is probably due to them being related to a Eurasian ancestor,not so much as a Caucasian ancestor.
Japanese are 96,7% Yayoi (East Asian). Jōmon may be related to Europeans, but they are extinct nearly today. Most Ainu even have mostly East Asian ancestry today.
To be specific, they were originally the Emishi from the tohoku region that separated in the 13th century. They only came to be known as “Ainu” after they settled into
Hokkaido later on.
@@jamescho4873 Japanese people are 12% Jomon on average, Okinawans 30% and Ainu people can be up to about 80%.

If you are looking for new ideas, may I suggest a video about the Berber people. In my opinion their history gets less attention than the Roman conquest of North Africa and later the Arab conquest. In fact many Tunisians like myself are/were unaware of their Berber origin and consider themselves as Arab primarily because the Tunisian language is an Arab language.
Lol Is that you in the profile picture laughing
Anthropologically Jōmon people are a Caucasoid related group from southern Siberia. Genetically they are not close to other East Eurasians, but show some connections to Native American groups in the northwestern coastal areas of North America. They contributed about 80% ancestry to Ainu, 46% to Amis people (a native Taiwanese group), 8% to Ulchi, a Siberian group and 3% to Yamato Japanese. Another study suggests 10% in Yamato Japanese.
Great video. I'm definitely interested in more about the Ryukyuan. :)
Yayoi did not originate from Korea but the Southern part of China.
Japanese hate to admit the Yayoi came from Korea, and insist they some how came from China.
NOT possible. people did not have navigational skill to jump from China to Japan over open sea back then.
They had to go through Korean peninsula and cross into Japanese Islands via narrow straight.
massive immigration of Southern Chinese into Japan, without going through alread heavily populated Korean peninsula is just simply not possible.
Yayoi came from southeastern China. Than they lived on southern part of "korean" peninsular. Than proto-Koreans from Manchuria invaded them and most proto-Japanese migrated to Japan. But some stayed. They are named "Peninsular-Japonic". Many recent studies say Pre-Baekje, Pre-Silla, Gaya and Tamna was Peninsular-Japonic before the Koreans came. So Yayoi can not be ethnic Koreans, as Koreans were located in Manchuria during the Yayoi Invasion of Japan.
@@Kenny-fh3om They came from Korea , not wrong but needs to be corrected.
Direction wise its true but ethnicity at the time is different from those who are now living in Korea.
@soji okita clearly, there were people in Japan before Far East Asian looking people came over from Korean Peninsula. These people came into Japan during the ice age when there was land bridge between Japan and Okinawa, Taiwan, all the way to Philipins and beyond. they look totally different from Far East Asians. Most of thse "Native" Japanese were killed off, and what remains were intermarried. That's why today's Japanese look like Far East Asian, and Not like South East Asians or Austronesians. Obviously there are some Japanese who have these Austronesian features, but most Japanese look like Chinese/Korean/Mongolian.

A lot of ur info about the Jomon/Ainu is wrong. They weren't taller and lighter than the Yayoi; in fact, the opposite was true. They were darker and shorter.
Yes. That explains the main physical difference between the Koreans and the Japanese. Quite similar looking but the Japanese are shorter overall, the Ainu input most likely. Don't know about darker. I don't think Ainu were that much darker to make a significant difference. Japanese spoken language is very similar to Korean which is very similar to Mongolian. Koreans are a mix btwn northern Mongol/Altaic input and the South East Asian input from Indian regions. Japanese are mostly ancient and modern Koreans. Just like the Anglo-Saxons who replaced the original Druid inhabitants by multiple migrations from the Viking regions of the North, there are records of continual movement of ppl from the Korean peninsula throughout history to the Japanese isles, mostly ppl who were fleeing the peninsula after their kingdoms were over thrown. There are still towns of ppl made of descendants of the Goguryeo, and Baekjae, the two kingdoms in Korea that were defeated by the kingdom of Shilla. Older Ainu inhabitants of South East Asian origin, apparently share the same fate as the Druids. They were replaced by disease, battle, colonization and assimilation. Their modern estimate according to Wiki is 25K to 200K(assumed)
@@jacobh9487 In old Japanese paintings, the Emishi/Ainu were consistently depicted as dark and hairy, several shades darker than the Japanese themselves, so that tells you something about their skin color.

I'm Japanese and I have a lot of body hair. Some of the Japanese people, the Yamato race, inherited the characteristics of both the Jomon people and the Yayoi people.

Except he said Ainu people have pale skin, which is not true.
I am a Nisei and I have studied "Who are the Japanese and where did they come from?"First, is the Jomon, "hunters and gatherers," who migrated from Africa with other humans and ended up in Formosa. Formosa was an Island where at least 11 other people migrated there. stheir culture is identified by a distinct rope pattern pottery. They adopted a series of Austronesian words. They hid their pottery in the hillside of Formosa and left traveling northward until they arrived at Kyushu island, Japan. There, they lived both in Kyushu and the main island of Honshu, Japan.. Thousands of years later, another group of people, Yayoi came from Korea and merged with the Jomon.The Jomon originally lived near Baikal, Siberia. The language, grammar is Altaic (Subject-Ob'ject-Verb) The Yayoi also practice Shamanism that is common in that Siberian One of Japan's queen, HImiko practiced Shamanism.that originated in the Siberian region.region. Thus, the Japanese are half Korean. My DNA matches this fact exactly. The Ainu is an enigma because most Japanese are not hairy like the Ainu. But the Ainu is said to be related to the Jomon. Around 2010, archeologists found the Jomon's pottery hidden in caves of Formosa. `Japanese language is syllabic and they did not have a written language for centuries. Without a written language, they used the Chinese characters that had the same sound as the Japanese syllabic sound. Chinee grammar is (Subject-Verb-Ob'ject). Thus, the Japanese are not related to the Chinese.
you are the only person who knows the correct story on this topic ,btw.not half but 99.9 % japanese citizens are of korean ethnicities. the jomon is the actual ainu people and got nothing to do with korean kei yayois and thats what you are, a korean kei

Hello, I am Takashi (hobby geneticist and interested in Northeast Asian history). It is a common misconception that all Ainu looked "Caucasian" or were very hairy. There were always many Ainu which looked typically Northeast Asian or like Inuit (long before we Japanese arrived in Hokkaido). The Ainu language itself descended from the Okhotsk culture and people which looked like Itelmens or Yakuts. Ainu history is very complex and for the sake of respect, it should be noted that the people speaking proto-Ainu and the Ainu culture largely originated from the Okhotsk, which were related to other Northeast Asians and eastern Siberians. Also, is is a common misconception that all Ainu have haplogroup D. Southern Ainu have it predominantly at 75%, while northern Hokkaido Ainu have more C (the same clade as Athabaskans in northern America). Greetings.
Your correct. This TH-camr just found all his research online lol
He never said all of them looked Caucasians though.
Wow we appreciate your work there
All the latest genetic studies have eliminated any possible Andamanese connection. If you look at these two ethnic groups it's not hard to see why there must have been a huge error in the original data.
Which ethnic group do you believe is older? The Andamanese have been referred to as the children of Adam. They have no genetic admixture; 100% homosapien -sapien; or wise man..im an etymology geek.
Thank you very much for your fabulous presentation on the Japanese, my own nation.
Japanese people are so lucky and gifted, they have the gene of the fullest beard in East Asia.
Cuz your japanese lol
My understanding is that Japan had been inhabitated by Jomon people who are paleo mongolid might be moved from Southern pacific. They might be unagricultural and depended on hunting and fishing. Their skull are different from today's Japanese, and shorter and hairly. Later Yayoi people moved from East Asia continent who are known as neo-mongolid adopted to cold climate. Yayoi brought rice firm and other agricultural skills to Japan. The Japanese are overwhelmingly descended from Yayoi and Jomon DNA linage might be less than 20%. Jomon Linage is more visible among ethnic Ainu and also can be visible among Okinawan and Southern Kyushu area. There sould be more acheological study required that Yayoi people moved out of Korean peninsula and fled to Japan by push factor or came from another route.
Yayoi themselves are a mix of Jomon and continental East Asian

Where were u when I was in high skool? U r a great teacher man!
I don't recall being taught anthropology in high school.
My family has been in the US since the turn of the 20th century. I took the DNA test and my paternal haplogroup is OF and my maternal group is M7. The paternal haplogroup is common in Papua New Guinea and my DNA relatives are spread through the Austronesian area. So your analysis is correct. As more people participate in DNA ancestry, the data will become more evident.
Gotta be a Mongolian connection to the Yamato. Look at many of the Mongolian sumo stars in Japan such as Hakuho. They are indistinguishable from Japanese. Besides, they easily learn Japanese like Dutch and Scandinavians pick up English.
Exactly
That's because they have common ancestors. But that doesn't make it correct to say Japanese have "Mongolian ancestors" because the ancestors that Japanese share with Mongolians weren't "Mongolians."
before that you have to go thru korea lol
Korean is a more accurate connection to Yamato. Almost all Korean and Japanese have the same O2 or M-176 DNA.
In this video no mention was made of the possible Japanese - Hungarian connection. The Grammatical structure of Japanese is fundamentally identical with the Uralic Languages. Hungarian belongs to this group as a language. There are numerous Japanese words which acquaint with hungarian eg. cho - Snow Tabi - eat nourish, sui - sour, hon - country etc, Hungarian sounds or words may sound japanese but their meaning is different. A similar religious aspect may also interest readers of this column. According to Japanese beliefs the Sun is a Japanese God and similarly in ancient Hungarian the Sun was also revered as God. According to Professor Mitsuo Matsumoto of Asaka, the closest relatives to the Hungarians are the Japanese.
Japanese words and names are very similar and sometimes exactly the same as Luganda words (from Uganda) and the neighbouring Bantu language words. For example names like Kato (Kato is a name given to the male twin born last in luganda), Kagawa (we have Nagawa and Kagwa), Jinja which is a shrine in Japanese means "stone" in luganda, "iiyee" means "no" in Japanese but "iiyee" means "yes" in Luganda. Kyoto means a fire place in Luganda etc
Tests using phylogenetic relationship suggests that the Jōmon (ancestors of the Ainu) have about 86% “East Asian” related ancestry and about 14% West Asian/European related ancestry. Study made by Kanzawa-Kiriyama et al. 2019. This “East Asian related group” was the proto-Mongoloid (like Native Americans) and the “West Asian/European” was a Caucasoid group (possibly like Cro-Magnon of Europe). This results are in agreement with various other recent DNA studies and anthropologic studies. Thus the “pseudo-Caucasoid” look in some modern Japanese people (and of Ainu).
only two samples... most Jomon were Australoid, related to Andamanese and Papuans
@@janraokoa1197 Wheres the proof Ainu are Australoids?I thought they were closer to Siberians and Amerindians.
Your profile picture is so beatiful
All tribe came from China.
Jōmon have no single DNA shared with Andamanese. Even their D lineage D-M55 is isolated since more than 50,000 years. Andamanese D arrived into the Andamanese only 2,300 years ago from admixture with Riang tribes from Northeast India.
Very similar grammatical language structure can be found between Japan and Korea but Chinese is different. As one of similar language example is Hitachi (sunrise =HaeDoJi in Korean) very interesting
I know some Japanese nationalists will not like to hear this but the modern Japanese language and culture evolved from the original Baekje language and culture of the southern Korean peninsula. These Yamato people from Baekje went over to the Japanese archipelago during the end of the Three Kingdoms period when the Silla Kingdom (from the help of the Tang) pushed these Baekje people into Japan.
These Baekje people became the Yamato of Japan (the Wa-jin). They had superior military power and technology over the indigenous Ainu, Jomon, Hayatos, Kumabitos, Saekis, Misehashi, etc. They conquered and assimilated many of these indigenous tribes and some fled to northern Japan or the Okinawa Islands. Many Japanese don't like to acknowledge this but it is true. Japanese language and culture originated from a Korean Kingdom 1500 years ago.
But you know that pre-Baekje was Japonic. Peninsular Japonic. The proto-Japanese lived in southern Korea before they were pushed into Japan by invading proto-Koreans from Manchuria. So I think we can not say from Baelje language as the ancient Baekje language was a relative of Japanese but not of Korean. Japanese and Korean are two different language families.
@@teamaster9831 The Korean and Japanese languages have almost the same grammar even though the vocabulary is different. This is no coincidence. There must be a shared common language one time. Japanese just incorporated a lot of Austronesian words over the centuries. I'm not saying Korean and Japanese are Altaic but they do have a common source.
Grammar or typological similarities can not determine relationship. Koreanic and Japonic are not related. Japanese has only some Austronesian words. Japanese is a Japonic language. But Japonic and Koreanic influenced each other during the end of the Mumun period and during the end of the Jin state in southern Korea. They do not share a common origin. Koreanic may be a “partially Altaic” language but it is still disputed. Also proto-Japanese had SVO grammar and only since the contact with Koreanic (and maybe Ainu) Japanese changed to SOV.
Jarad Diamond recently said on TV "Japanese in the west part of Japan are Korean "
His blunt talks shocked many Koreans!! I highly respect of Japanese have kept the original ancient cultures very well while Koreans influenced by Christianity disrpected their own culture which is a big shame! We can find many ancient Korean traces in Japan!
In fact, it is said that rituals are still held in Japan to honor the Baekje people.
Had a book on Australian First Nations (Aboriginals) in the 1970s which linked the Ainu with Australia's original occupants.
Appearance was remarkably similar
There is a theory that the native language of Guarani might have some connection to Japan, Australia or Siberia. Thats what this famous Paraguayan writer said - th-cam.com/video/5hF41v8GKr4/w-d-xo.htmlm37s
The injuns came over a land bridge from Asia. Why do you call them "First Nation's"? It sounds dumb.
@@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937 I'm aussie
Japanese are the ones who propagated this false narative that Ainu are some how Caucasoid.
Ainu ARE NOT white people. If you look at old Japanese paintings done 300 years or older, Ainu are always depicted as dark skined short and hairy people, in contrast to Japanese. Also Japanese insist that Ainu came down from Siberia into Northern Japanese island, which is a lie. Ainu occupied Japanese island, and only pushed North by the Modern Japanese immigration. Ainu people entered Japanese Islands from the South, during the ice age when there was landbridge between Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Philippine, all the way down to Austaralia.
The Jōmon population during the Jōmon period in Japan is a mix of proto-Mongoloid and Caucasoid groups. The Yayoi population is Mongoloid from mainland East Asia. The Yayoi are the early Japonic speakers. Modern Japanese are primarily descendants of the Yayoi. Jōmon admixture is very minor. The Jōmon exhibited paternal haplogroups D-M55, C1a1 and C2. D-M55 is only found in Japan, C1a1 also only in Japan (C1a2 is found in Europeans and Arabs (minor)), and C2 is common in Siberia and Japan. The Yayoi exhibit O1, O1b2, and O2, which are common in all East Asia, Southeast Asia and some other areas. For further information please see Japanese history textbook or online library, Tokyo national museum, Tokyo University, Kyoto university, Osaka, Sapporo, and other scientific journals.
They are not. Get some basic facts.
Very wrong troll, there are no anthropologic or genetic studies the support your claims. Jōmon were not Australoid and Japanese have no Australoid DNA. There is also no Australoid admixture in other Asians. Only some Southeast Asians and Polynesians have admixture. But in Southeast Asia not more than 5 to 10% and Polynesians have not more than 20%. Some even have zero. Again, get some facts.
Most Jomon are Australoid, related to Andamanese and Papuans. It is a fact. Do not be racist!

Our dearest friend japan in Asia. We never forgotten for their help INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY by head of Mr.Bose for our independence. We always ❤❤❤ Japanese and japan.🙏🙏🙏
It's been noted before that the old Japanese houses look more like something from Southeast Asia than the homes of the Central Asians. If you've ever stayed in an older Japanese house they are darn cold in the winter and the Japanese have come up with all sorts of innovations to deal with this but the old houses aren't really built for holding heat but are pretty good at being cool in the summertime...
