The ancestors of the Ainu (and Jomon) are descedants of an ancient paleolithic population somewhere in Central Asia or Siberia. They arrived in Japan and southeastern Russia more than 30,000 years ago and possibly also migrated into parts of northern America. This paleolithic population was distantly related to Europeans, Middle Easterners and Native Americans (ancestral northeurasian component). Keep well.

i thought the haplogroup d migrated from africa to around india and tibet, and some of these haplogroup d peoples migrated to japan through a land bridge with korea, and they formed the modern ainu people after intermixing with some nivkh and yamato people

It seems like academia can't make up their mind. Some say it was only 14,000 years. Also, a few researchers say the ancient jomon were very black with kinky hair....but now all the genetics companies are saying they were light skin with with straight hair. All the genetics companies are owned by israel. And they are not good reflections of indigenous or pacific peoples. they say hawaiian isn't a race....

hello, i am half ainu and proud, ainu are paleo-mongoloid. pure ainu had lighter skin. but we are not caucasoid. our next relatives are native americans and tibetans. origin is siberia or tibet. others say central-asia. autosomal DNA show ainu are related to modern japanese, siberians and native americans

I think Caucasoid admixture is probably present, and DNA tests made by people who want to avoid that possibility aren't particularly trustworthy, or DNA tests are not as reliable as we think they are. No chance of admixture with Caucasoid communities from Siberia all the way to Japan? I find that hard to believe. The fact everybody HAS to mention how the Ainu are not mixed with Caucasians is a clear indication there is a bias against that possibility.

@@sophiaperennis2360 I think the fact that a lot of people mention how the Ainu are not mixed with Caucasians is because it was commonly believed in the past before DNA testing became a thing, so it's a longstanding myth that's been debunked. It's not because they having something against being related to Caucasians. If there was a chance of admixture from Siberia all the way to Japan, (which there may have been), how would it be more significant than the Caucasoid admixture in every other population along the entire route? The important part is the amount of admixture. DNA studies have shown that the Ainu are actually closely related to Southeast Asians and Siberians rather than anyone else.

If you look at oral histories in the Pacific Northwest about the bearded men in their big canoes who come down from the Aleutian islands to the North - and contrast this with stories the Kamchatka Ainu have from their time being enslaved by the Russians in the 17th century and being forced to work with the Aleut an interesting cultural picture emerges. Similarities between the Jomon people and the societies of the Pacific Northwest have long been noted; Kenniwick man found in Oregon has been claimed to be the remains of a Jomon or Ainu man by some geneticists (largely to avoid repatriation laws of course) but the fact remains that both groups claim to have been in contact, and indigenous ties between the Ainu, Pacific Islanders and the Pacific Northwest in America are being made to this day, with the consensus among the tribes that they've been in contact for millennia, even if White Societies naively look askance on oral history as reliable sources of any evidence whatsoever. Whatever the case may be, most of the history of the Pacific has been ignored by Anglos and Japanese in recent history, at their own loss quite frankly

John Kausch The northernmost tribes of the Pacific Northwest, the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian, definitely had contact and traded with the Chukchi and Koryak peoples of eastern Siberia, and possibly the Ainu as well. I've never heard of the bearded men myth you described, do you know which tribe/nation it's specifically from? The bearded men signifies the Ainu, I assume, since they're hairier than neighboring ethnic groups.

I'm fairly certain the story he is referencing is referring to the Russians, not the Ainu. I've never heard of the story either but I believe his reference to it was to show that the PNW indigenous tribes got these stories indirectly from the Kamchatka Ainu, who were referencing the Russians who enslaved them. I could be misinterpreting what he meant, though.

Desde antaño, los Ainus cantan y danzan en sus ceremonias y durante sus celebraciones y rituales tanto familiares como de ámbito comunitario. Cantan y danzan en sus plegarias y cuando narran leyendas en la esfera doméstica o entre amigos, e incluso durante las más diversas tareas cotidianas. Entonan, corean, imitan llamadas de animales o salmodian simples onomatopeyas que comparten con espíritus de ancestros o de la misma naturaleza. Salmodias beneficiosas para trascender el grupo en una polifonía acordada al relato común. Algo que podemos encontrar en otros confines de Europa, África, Asia, Oceanía o América, alejados en el mapa y tan cercanos en una misma humanidad… Cantar juntos para relatarse y vincularse en una voz plural y común que se arraiga en el tiempo para proyectarse en él más allá. De algo estoy cada vez más seguro, allende es capital para entender mejor cuanto cela aquende.

Ayyy they jamming 💃🏾

I have been carefully studying these people and watching their pics for years now. I have noticed two different races among the Ainu: one that "looks" like Mediterranean people, another that is more similar to Australian aborigins. The European looking one is now KNOWN not to be European or "Caucasian." The Japanese look different from other Asians b/c most have Ainu genes in them (just look at PM Shinzo Abe). Their music is definitely related to Native Americans'. And the ancient remains of Kennewick Man and Spirit Caveman (from the USA) were found to be "most similar to the Ainu." So these people were in Tibet, in Japan and in America for sure. It's a pretty large and diverse territory. Not so recently the ruins of Gobekli Tepe (Turkey) were found to be around 12K years old. The Yonaguni underwater ruins in Japan, obviously of human construction, are another very old relic, such as the huge stone blocks of Baalbek. All indicators of the existence of an ancient civilization. Plato in his book The Crithias told of the large island of Atlantis and its advanced civilization (pre-flood). Noah in the Bible was capable of building a large, complex ship to survive the flood, and he was a civilized man. The time of the flood according to Plato, pretty much coincides with the disappearance of the Megafauna in the world (about 11K years ago). AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: In the Crithias, Plato talks about the island of Atlantis AND "a whole continent on the other side." !!! America, by any chance? If you are young, you may verify all these facts and continue the search. I have tried to summarize for you the main indicators I have found, relating the origin of the Ainu and their very possible link to the sunken island of Atlantis. America too, did "not exist" at one point and Columbus was "crazy" to go to "Asia" thru such a long path. It turned out not to be that long! So Plato DID NOT LIE and Columbus was not crazy: America after all, existed!

arguable. They are the northern tribes who came from the now Russian Islands around the Sea of Okhotsk long before the modern Japanese came. They populated most of Northern Honshu until the Nara era and were pushed back to Hokkaido in the Kamakura era. Their language is different from Japanese. Musashi, which used to be the Edo area 1000 years before the Edo era, means "Marsh" in Ainu has no meaning in the Japanese language. They may way be related to tribes that crossed the land bridge to the Americas in the Ice age.
