Jomon pottery looks very distinctive compared to similar cultures in other parts of the world.

Under certain conditions, wild nuts/seeds can enable a high population density even if agriculture is lacking. The situation was somewhat similar among the native Californian tribes, where acorns were part of the staple diet.

Great video! I think the Jomon are a great example of the complexity and sophistication of our hunter gatherer ancestors -something we do not properly appreciate today. We are much to arrogant today to accept these lessons in life that they developed through countless millennium of survival and propagation of their way of life. Our modern ways have been around for mere fractions of their ways, and we are already on a path to disaster and collapse.

thank you i want to learn more about jomon. we need to learn how to live like our ancestors, in conjunction with nature rather than against it.

The Japanese originality is the Jomon tribe.

What an excellent video!

I think the odds are that the Jomon were actually multiple peoples and cultures who migrated into Japan over time.

Very good video, thank you for sharing!

This is so interesting!!

Imagine a culture that existed without much change for over 10,000 years, especially without warfare. Is there any equal in any other part of the world? It must be truely unique. From what’ve read Jomon people were not of one origin but came from various places. Some up from Okinawa and others down from Russia. Present day dependents of Jomon people are Okinawa and Ainu which are dissimilar in appearance. Yet they all got along and created a shared culture (one that we can see through the pottery). It’s a model the world should aspire to.

Very interessting video. I find the Jomon culture absolutly fascinating. F. ex. Imagine 10000 years without weapons or defensive walls! This is unheard of! What a different mindset these people had. Greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden. 😊

16000 years ago people didn't even have settlements let alone weapons and walls, the first civilizations were build around 5000 years ago only

And they were at least 4000 years ahead of the rest of the world, because agriculture begin only around 10000bce this is when the rest of the world started settlements

Clay figurines and clay potteries were recently found in the northern parts of the philippines that looks identical to jomon potteries and clay figurines.

Fascinating reading a book by Jon Turk who kayaker from Japan to Alaska along the Pacific rim. Whoa!!!@

Really cool and fascinating history. Although modern Japanese people are primarily Yayoi, I do think the Japanese people are also the result of Yayoi and Jomon tribes mixing together physically and culturally.

The Jomon people are the Japanese people, they just progressed. They were a tribe first before they became a nation. That's how it all starts. With all nations they start off first with tribes then they come together and form nations.

No weapons but they were huntergathers? No, the jomon lived like a people being hunted, no fixed dwellings, something happened, the modern Japanese ancestors committed genocide, took the land and burned their civilization into ashes to destroy any records of their crimes.
