Tibetans: Why are they so Genetically Distinct?

- Who exactly are the Tibetans, and why are they so genetically distinct? Living on the world's highest elevated plateau, the Tibetans have become uniquely suited and adapted to this somewhat anomalous landscape, distinct from all the surrounding people groups.
There are many reasons behind this evolutionary path, some of which aren't too surprising, while some are quite bizarre to say the least. In today's video we'll be going over the genetics, language, culture and history of the Tibetans, other Tibetic peoples and the whole of the Sino-Tibetan family. Thanks for watching!

As a Mongolian l hope to one day learn Tibetan though l hear it is quite hard, as Mongol and Tibetan people share a unique close bond and that the Tibetan people will some day get their due rights, freedoms and self-determination
What are your thoughts on your kinsfolk in Southern Mongolia?
Ggdivhjkjl very few Mongolia left there. All I see was whole bunch of wanna be Chinese are playing Mongol. ☹️ it is too late.
@@enkhzayazundui1063 The Chinese are trying to do the same with Tibetans. Complete assimilation.
@@VirtualWonderBoy that is Chinese way!!! They did the same thing with Manchu hundreds years ago. Total assimilation.
@@enkhzayazundui1063 Indeed! Manchurian conquest of Northern China was quite a feat and their culture is still strong. The Chinese ruled my people, the Vietnamese, for one thousand years but we still held onto our culture and traditions. I know others can resist and do the same. Although, with all the brainwashing and modern surveillance these days it's difficult.

China is always the Empire in the future they will invade the Southeast Asian peninsula, We need to unite against China, but people who do not share the same culture It will cause division and the Vietnamese people are very selfish and always want to dominate Indochina (SEA.M)
Its was the east asian who brought them a wealth and prosperity, not Myanmar or burmese.

sadly, as long as the Chinese communists are around, i don't see Tibet going anywhere. Other countries in the world often express sympathy, but their governments won't lift a finger to do anything. They are only concerned about doing business with China.
They've been trying to get independence since the Qing Dynasty in 1720, the Communists are hardly new in that regard.
@@TheECSH Makes sense. China is the biggest economy and superpower after the U.S. but still at least what could be done to to just protest as individuals for maintaining some of the important cultural sites as well as more autonomy within the PRC regime. We need less actual warfare in this world.
@@Catbot99 no, the US didn't free Hawaii despite native Hawaiian protests so they are no different
The Chinese Communists staff server-farms with Chinese who speak English and other languages to go around forums and chat-rooms and pooh-pooh the notion of Tibetan independence. They flood Tibet with Chinese settlers to genocide the native Tibetans and set up a high-speed rail link to Lhasa so the Chinese can still visit their native villages on holidays.

Tibet was NOT a breakaway state. It was an historically independent state until China invaded in 1957. Claiming it was a separatist state is Chinese propaganda.

And about 78,000 years ago the Mt. Toba eruption covered all of India and Pakistan in five feet of ash. This caused a racial separation and splitting, no more mixing, and the people on the EAST side of that eventually wandered into Europe and became White. It's all very long-term and confusing.

Tibetans usually have sharper facial features than rest of the asians
motownphenom agreed and different skin color. the nomads have darker copper skin color , not really a yellowish undertone
@motownphenom because they have different origins which is seen by the haplogroups they have.
About the skin color not necessarily true I think. it's a matter of climate and living conditions. The tibetans that live indoors mostly don't so different from indoor living mongols chinese and others. For example even look at dalai lama
sombdy somwhere exactly this is true . It’s mostly the nomads that have this tone, and even their kids are pretty light skin no difference from other East Asians
Lol yeah
We usually have
Darker skin, broad nose, high cheekbones and many others
I know many Tibetans here in the US, and I have to say, they are probably the least xenophobic Asians. They are very welcoming of all people and are very kind and always willing to teach about their proud, glorious culture. Someday they will be free, as will all of China.

The picture of the monk setting himself on fire has nothing to do with Tibet. He was a Vietnamese monk who was setting himself on fire to protest the South Vietnamese Catholic U.S. backed dictator Ngo Dinh Diem, who was violently repressing non Catholics.

Which tribe are you from?
@anshu lieyi watch the video carefully. Sino Tibetan is branching out into chinese and Tibeto-Burman language family group. Further Tibeto-Burman is branching out into SAL language family, there you can see Bodo. So he is basically right. I belong to kokborok speaking language family group which is 70 % similar to Bodo and
@anshu lieyi yes, you know at least Tibetan and Chinese are very close cousins.
Bodo kachari r more closer with eastern Nepalese n sikkimese Rai, limboo, sunuwar than tibbetan. Northern Nepali Tamang, Sherpa, bhutia, yolmo, sikkim bhutia, ladakhi more closer with tibbetan
There are thousands of Sino-Tibetan groups. Nowadays this family is called "Trans-Himalayan" language family.

I'm Nepalese. My ethnic group have been practicing Bon religion for centuries alongside Tibetan Buddhism so, Bon religion ain't new but instead old shaministic/ animistic practices including supernatural beliefs and rits and rituals. Please do a video on Nepalese people.
Bon is much older and Native religion of Tibet than Buddhism. Buddhism came to Tibet in 8AD. But Bonpo was there before 127 BC in Tibet.
Cool to here I'm also Nepalese, but we Sherpa mostly practice Tibetan Buddhism. Learning about this info on hablogroup D was pretty cool though.
I’m also a Gurung 😊
I am NEpali from tarai
Tibetan Bon religion dates back to more than 3,800 years while Buddhism began 2,500 years ago in India and brought to Tibet and the Himalayas 1,000 years after it developed.
Since I did a large list for the last video, I am going to wait for a future one to do an extensive list. Other than my usual reiterations that you haven't done yet (and thank you for addressing many of those topics), the one topic I wanted to suggest to you:
How closely related are modern Middle Eastern populations to the ancient civilizations of the area genetically? The Arab conquests obviously spread the Arabic ethnicity all over the Middle East and North Africa, but are there any Mesopotamian peoples left genetically? This same question applies to all the multi-ethnic groups in the area as well. Are Levantine peoples and Canaanites the "same" people? Also, were the first Canaanites direct descendants of the Natufians from the Neolithic era? Also, I still think specifically learning more about the Garamantes of the Sahara would be fascinating since they had a complex society and few people have heard of them. Yes I know you've done stuff about the Berber's before, but I am suggesting to focus on this subtopic within their culture.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garamantes
Mason, thanks for the very informative videos - I truly appreciate your effort. That said, I should offer a couple of corrections for accuracy: 1. The Bön religion predates Buddhism in Tibet, and Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) is famous for "converting" the Bön gods to Buddhism. 2. The core of Tibetan Buddhism is Mahayana in nature, with Vajrayana being an emergent tantric sect. 3. The image of the self-immolating monk (9:07) is from a protest in Vietnam during the Vietnam war and is therefore unrelated to the voice narration.

Bon is the oldest religion in Tibet, and it was there in Tibet before Buddhism ever came to Tibet and became more prominent.

@@dreamadventure8220 we had earlier contacts with Arabs from 7th century and the fact that we were allies and rivals on the conflict of silk route convinces me the Arabic word for Tibet at- tubbatan is the primal source for the name Tibet.

It’s true that, building on earlier initiatives, China’s State Council published a road map in 2014 to establish a far-reaching “social credit” system by 2020. The concept of social credit (shehui xinyong) is not defined in the increasing array of national documents governing the system, but its essence is compliance with legally prescribed social and economic obligations and performing contractual commitments. Composed of a patchwork of diverse information collection and publicity systems established by various state authorities at different levels of government, the system’s main goal is to improve governance and market order in a country still beset by rampant fraud and counterfeiting.
[...]
The scope, scale, diversity, and language of the evolving system have caused a lot of confusion, particularly with respect to the existence of a single social credit score. There is no such thing as a national “social credit score.” A few dozen towns and cities in China, as well as private companies running loyalty-type programs for their customers, do currently compute scores, primarily to determine rewards or access to various programs. That was the source of at least some of the confusion. Ant Financial’s Sesame Credit program, for instance, which gives rewards on various platforms and easier access to credit, was often cited as a precursor of a planned government program, despite being a private enterprise.

'It’s not surprising that myths about the system are spreading, given the shrinking space in China for civil society, rights lawyering, speech, investigative journalism, and religious belief; its increasingly ubiquitous, invasive surveillance capability; and the Chinese Communist Party’s push to apply big data and artificial intelligence in governance. China’s party-state is collecting a vast amount of information on its citizens, and its social credit system and other developments internally and overseas raise many serious concerns. But contrary to the mainstream media narrative on this, Chinese authorities are not assigning a single score that will determine every aspect of every citizen’s life-at least not yet.
[...]
Composed of a patchwork of diverse information collection and publicity systems established by various state authorities at different levels of government, the system’s main goal is to improve governance and market order in a country still beset by rampant fraud and counterfeiting.
Under the system, government agencies compile and share across departments, regions, and sectors, and with the public, data on compliance with specified industry or sectoral laws, regulations, and agreements by individuals, companies, social organizations, government departments, and the judiciary.

In short, it's to keep fraud in check, and repeated offenders are restricted much in the same way they are elsewhere: they cannot fly, cannot take loans, and etc.
As for individual scores, those are only applied to COMPANIES.
'The government does assign universal social credit codes to companies and organizations, which they use as an ID number for registration, tax payments, and other activities, while all individuals have a national ID number. The existing social credit blacklists use these numbers, as do almost all activities in China. But these codes are not scores or rankings. Enterprises and professionals in various sectors may be graded or ranked, sometimes by industry associations, for specific regulatory purposes like restaurant sanitation. However, the social credit system does not itself produce scores, grades, or assessments of “good” or “bad” social credit. Instead, individuals or companies are blacklisted for specific, relatively serious offenses like fraud and excessive pollution that would generally be offenses anywhere. '
The same article even though debunking the existence of a social credit system as imagined in the West, cautions that it could develop into one.
'To be sure, China does regulate speech, association, and other civil rights in ways that many disagree with, and the use of the social credit system to further curtail such rights deserves monitoring.'
If you somehow still don't believe it, here are a few articles from their website showing their leanings.

Could you do a video on the Karen ethnic group in Burma/Myanmar? I think it would be a great topic considering the recent genocides with the Rohingya Muslims and Karen people. We've had a lot of immigrants move here to the US because of it.
I love your videos, extremely interesting and impeccably thorough! Thank you!
No! No! No! Here, I will let them talk to the Rohingya manager. I promise.

I,m From Balti Tribe,we Speak Balti Language Belong to Sino Tibeaten Group ...Greeting From Himalayan mountains (Balti Yull ) North 🇵🇰💝
Thank you again for another very informative anthropology video. Enjoy them so much!
I only came here for the cute guy on the thumbnail, not to learn sir.
Tibetans tend to have longer, sharper facial features in East Asia.
Surely Some people have shorter, blunter like Han Chiense..
Because Tibet is very wide and their facial features are very diverse.
(Western Tibetans have mixed face with Indian (Caucasoid ?), Eastern Tibetans have Han Chinese, Mongolia face)
Tibetans don't really have a particular look. My family is from Western Tibet but I look korean. both my grandpas looked native american
@Daisy Wong www.Kaheel7.com
@Daisy Wong yeah mogols you can tell the difference flat face
@Daisy Wong true and bhutanese and Tibetans look alike
@Daisy Wong thanks for the information makes sence since theirs some Tibetans that are pale and some that are tan im tan btw
Great Video
Years ago I read where Tibetan tradition says the Tibetan people descended from a female monster. They were proud of that and clung to it. I have often wondered where that tradition came from and now, listening to your video where you say the have strong Denisovan and Neanderthal DNA, I feel that has been answered. Fascinating
Bro you are rRight
That must be true ....I'm Tibetan and I have a intense feminine chaotic energy in my mind....
@@WaMo721 Crazy.You have some very unique heritage.
The part about the Kusundas in Nepal is very interesting. There is a research on the Santhali tribe of Nepal who are also thought to be related to Dravidian groups of people rather than the Indo-Aryan. Can you do a more comprehensive video on the pre Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman/ Sino-tibetan people of the Indian sub continent? Whence they came? Who are they related to?
poor little nepal ke pas kuch nahi hai
Bön is not a new faith, it is the native pagan faith of the region which was largely replaced by buddhism. It's actually incredibly surprising to see that it has survived after all these centuries, having apparently adapted despite it's decline.
Good video. Thanks
I’m Assamese from Northeast India and I’ve Indo-Aryan, Tibeto-Burman and Sino-Siamese admixture in varying degrees.
If I were to cast a vote for which people have the most mysterious and complex culture and religion in the modern world, my vote would almost certainly go to the Tibetans. It is even surprising they exist at all, considering their apparent adherence to non-violence.
Hey Thanks for sharing this interesting video about Tibetans. I am from a minority ethnic group called Kachin in Myanmar. I have been doing a bit of my own research lately and learned that Kachins are nomadic and one website mentioned that we descended from Tibet. Could you make a video and explain that, please?
Indosphere and chinosphere. Learned new terms from you! Thank you!
Love to all my tibetan brothers.from baltistan(north pakistan)we also speak a tibetan langauge
It's one of the sino Tibetan language but I don't think it's like considered tibetic language (aka amdo, u-tsang and kham).
@@tajup8741 it is I think.balti and ladakhi is very close to old tibetan.and also purik and balti dialect are same with different accents
@@balghari6391 yeah, it is closer to old Tibetan than it is to current day tibetan
@@tajup8741Amdo, U: Tsang and Kham are dialects not different languages
@@tajup8741and "Balti" comes under the Tibetic branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family.
Idk if Tibetans can ever gain independence or not but their culture and traditions will always be carried forward in India.
Ankur kundu Tibetans are Buddhist and Buddha is from Nepal and not India so the religion isn’t from India, and Tibetan traditional clothes are not like Indians, just so you know I’m Nepali and Tibetan so like I now this🤧
@@nuna9421 You understood him wrong. He meant India will preserve their culture by taking care of their exiled people and culture in India. There are lot of Tibetan monasteries currently in India. Also, Buddha (Siddhartha Gauthama) was born in Sakhya clan of vedic India in the region of Kapilavasthu named after sage Kapila. Nepal emerged as a seperate nation but it's origins are intertwined with India whether you agree or not.
mystike mind Actually it’s Siddhartha Gautama and he was Born in Lumbini, Nepal as a prince but he quit the prince life and went to India
@@nuna9421 Buddha was undisputely born in Nepal but the relligion was founded in magadh which is south Bihar, not even close to Nepal.
Everything from Siddhartha's enlightenment itself to post enlightenment journey takes place in India
So buddhism is from India
@@mystikemind547 There are still Tibetans in Tibet that still hold onto their culture. Historical oppression on the Tibetans by the ccp doesn't mean Tibet has lost it all.
May I ask, how do you get your information?

@@_robustus_ I mean, which books does he read? I've seen the ethnic map he created, and it is so goddamn detailed, I can't believe there are enough books to describe the detail he created.

Hi Masaman, how distinctive are the Shan population as compared to the rest of Myanmar (Burma), and what genetic subgroup if any are they of the Tibeto-Burbeses group?
Shan population is 7:17 an example of a mixture of Tibeto-Burman,Upper Kra-Dai and Austroasiatic (Wa,Ta'ang).
Interesting. Thank you.
Would you please do the origin and genetics of the Sinhalese and the Sri Lankan Tamils? Tamil DNA in Sri Lanka is actually quite different from Tamil genetics on the peninsula. Would you also be able to share if Tamil people on the mainland have any Sinhalese DNA like the Tamils of Sri Lanka? Thank you @Masaman
Sinhalese are most familiar with western India. Sinhalese are indo Aryan. Not dravidian
The Habesha and Quechua also have high altitude adaptations.
Thank you for being very objective
Another amazing people who populate our small blue marble. I love the Tibetan use of Turqoise in their jewelry and the unique culture and civilization. The food, architecture and just the look of these people is so cool and shows how a tough and hardy people can live in one of the least hospitable places on earth and make it their own.
I'm a burmese.I really didn't know that we're originally come from Tibet.But I heard a word called Tibeto-Burman before.I'm really interested in it how we related before.When I asked my grandparents where're we come from?and then,they said they came from China like Yunan.I don't know exactly.That they said to me.In this video I knew that we're originally from Tibet.
As a burmese,we're always keep touching with burmese every day,so we can't not only speak but also we don't understand what they said.But I think Tibet is a very beautiful part which is full with buddha images and the nature.
some parts of yunnan are part of the greater tibet : )
so their are many tibetan ethnic groups who are in yunan
Denisovian genes added to the ability to obtain enough oxygen at high altitudes.
Is it true that Tibetans and native Americans have similar cultural and physical features ?
Physical features? Definitely. Just look up in google. Idk if the natives have tibetan in them but some of em have asian in their dna and history. Which asian? Idk that.
Not sure about the culture, but physical features between Tibetan and Native American is quite similar like a cousin. The Native American were also part of larger East Asian Race. Many scholars believed they migrated from Siberia.
Apart from Baltis there are also Muslim Tibetan in Tibet.
Bon isn't a new religion . Modern Bon religion is nearly 800-900 years old.
I think I have seen a few of your comments floating around I think we have similar interests.
Assalaamu Alaikum to my Muslim Tibetan brothers and sisters!
rizwan Balti
When I originally read about it, the author claimed that Bon was the majority religion in Tibet when Buddhism was brought in. I wasn’t aware of differing opinions that hold Bon to be only 150. My thinking is that Buddhism picked up elements of local religions wherever it went. That’s why it is different everywhere there is Buddhism. In Tibet I think it picked elements of Bon.
Keshav Shah I guess so , am very interested in stuff related to languages and ethnicities.
Jonathan El-Amin Waelikom salam from all the Tibetan Muslims .

Centuries? Maybe a century. Everest wasn't even touched be westerners until 1921 and the summit wasn't reached until 1953.
Well,if you count 20th and 21st. Century that comprises 2 centuries.😁just trolling!!.
Thank you 🙏 100% research
wow as a Tibetan Nepalese that was very accurate, however, i do have to emphasize that the Mongolians and Tibetans do share a common ancestors as pre Vajrayana they did and still do share most of the practices and names that are are same although slightly change in pronunciation (just to mention) and the clues are in surrounding countries like Uyghurs, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan. if Tibet was in its original state it would big a fairly sizeable country, just like in United state of America ,the differences in Texas and Newyork is quite apparent. The kingdom of Guge in far west and Amdo is very different. The language hindi although it is synonymous to Hindustan it does originates from Urdu which originates from arabic and farsi. In mahayana it is always mentioned that teachings of Buddha was not in fact in Sanskrit but in Pali and later transcribed in Sanskrit.
Geographic isolation due to the Himalayas, mountains frequently mark genetic barriers, the Alps.
Even lower mountains such as those of the Highlands, Glen Lyon in Perthshire was overwhelmingly made up of people who came in from the west due to it being blocked by rock to the East, with there being a rather difficult path over that was unsuitable for vehicles or horses, that remained the case until with gelignite it was possible to blast through what was very hard rock and build a road through to Aberfeldy, now more than half the population there is wealthy people from South of England who sold up and moved out there, with more extensive communications such geographic isolation is becoming much rarer.
I would love to see your research regarding
Lepcha Language (Rong Ring) which falls under Indo Tibetan Burmese language.
Spoken by the Lepcha people in parts of India (Sikkim, North Bengal) Bhutan and Nepal.
Did you convert to Christianity?

@@nhmooytis7058 bullshit . Where's the proof Idiot ? China would never do such a horrible thing.
Qinghai would be another interesting topic because of the diverse influences from Tibetans, Mongols and Hui Muslims.
The Mongols adopted Tibetan Buddhism as their national religion after they conquered Tibet in the 13th century, so even after the fall of the Mongol Empire in China, they had a tendency of invading Tibet and setting up puppet theocratic regimes all the ways up to the 18th century. The Mongols were largely expelled from U-Tsang and Kham by the Manchus, but they still have a large presence in Amdo (Qinghai) to this day.
Very informative! When watching, I was thinking on wonder Burmas looks alike Tibetan people!
I would love to learn more from you on the history and migration and genetics of the indigenous Buddhist in the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh - specifically the Chakma peoples.
Absolutely would love to know more about them.
