Recent genome studies have confirmed now. The Jomon are not related to Australo-Melanesians or Africans. They are closest to Eurasian populations (basal branch). The Jomon cluster is distinct from all others, but relative closer to (Basal) East Asians. Autosomes and nucleus DNA confirm their unique position. Following studies can further help to understand the population history of Eurasia.

[@tigerfan707]

That does not make any sense. Austro-Melanesians are part of the Eurasian branch. Within that branch, they group together with asians, excluding caucasians. www.nature.com/articles/srep29890 How could the jomon not be related to Austro-Melanesians, but be closest to eurasian populations?

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.

[@andyjay729]

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.

[@woohooo7634]

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.

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)

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.

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

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

Japanese are really sorry for the Koreans to have liberated them from China, modernized, given education, revived Hangul, ended slavery, grew the population over two times as much

The reason many people on the Ogasawara Islands are of European ancestry isn't because of American military control of the islands after World War II. Rather, it's because the first settlers on the islands were Europeans in the mid-19th century.

6:36 Some evidence of the Austronesian connection are the similar words in various Austronesian languages. Some examples are Jp. Nomu and Tagalog inom 'to drink' and Jp. anata/kimi and anda/kamu in Indonesian 'you' which share identical formality distinctions.
