    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).

    If you want to learn more about Ainu, I recommend you the book : Ainu, Spirit of a Northern People, edited by the National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution and the university of washington press. There are many books about Ainu history, language and culture, and they are more reliable than Internet.

    Having non-narrow eyes and being hairy is not sufficient to be classified as "european" or caucasoid, some Pacific Islanders have narrow eyes and are hairy (especially Australian Aborigines), but they're not european by ancestry.
    Ainu and ancient Jomon japanese are half Pacific Islander/half Siberian : their Y-DNA show a relationship to the people of Tibet and the Andaman Islands of the Indian Ocean (haplogroup D), since their mtDNA is shown to exhibit genetic traits most common to the Russian far east and Mongolia (haplogroups M7 and N9).

    The accomplishments of the ancient Ainu race are tremendous. They invented the world's first pottery, altering the entire course of human history. And they journeyed in their small boats along the coasts of both Americas. Kennewick Man was an Ainu. The Aleutian people today say they originally came from Sakhalin, and the Aleut race was formed by a mixture of Ainus and Eskimos.

      That's what Jomon people did, not the Ainu. Sure, the Ainu are a mixture of the Jomon and the Okhotsk, but if the Okhotsk whose culture is the original of Ainu culture had never been to Hakkaido, there would've been no Ainu people today. So the ancient Ainu aren't the Jomon but the Okhotsk.

    The Ainu people began around 20,000 BC, when a Capoid/Australoid people invaded Tibet from Yunnan. In Tibet they found a Cro-Magnon people with much Neanderthal and Denisovan heritage. The invaders absorbed them and became the first Ainu people. Around 17,500 BC, they were driven from Tibet to Thailand by a people related to the Amerinds. Around 16,000 BC they began to migrate from Thailand, to Malaya then Borneo then Mindanao. In Mindanao (15,000 BC) they split up, some going southeast to Australia, some going north to Japan.

    The Ainu-people are part of the Jomon-people. Jomon-people lived in ancient time in whole Japan. Jomon-people include the groups: Emishi/Ainu/Hayato/Ryukyuan. Today only Ryukyuan and Ainu exist. Ainu mainly on Hokkaido and northern Honshu and the Ryukyuan-people on Ryukyuan-Isles(Okinawa-perfecture).
    Newest DNA-Tests support the theory that the origin is in south-asia and they traveld over taiwan to ryukyuan-isles and rest of Japan.
    They belong to the proto-austronesian-group. That means they have connections to austronesian-people. Like the native people of Taiwan.
    Also there language is proto-austronesian. Only the ainu-language is pure jomon today. Ryukyuan-language has many Yamato-japanese influence.
    Today Japanese are a mix of the Jomon-people and yaoi-groups from mainland-asia(proto-korean/proto-chinese).
    DNA of yamato-japanese: 60% Jomon --> 60% D(y-DNA D origin south-asia or south-west asia). the rest are several DNA groups with origin in today china. Only ~3% are altaic-DNA. ---> japanese are not altaic people!
    Also japanese-language is a mix from several language: Jomon-language+some Altaic elements+little chinese influence.
    Only in grammar are similarities with altaic-languages. Phonology is connected with Jomon-language and also vocal-harmonie is similar with jomon. ---> not altaic-language.
    ---> it is right to say japanese is isolated. it is jomon-language+some proto-altaic grammar-elements and little chinese influence(loanwords).

    Yamato, Ainu, and Okinawans are ancient Jomon people with the same Jomon genes (haplogroup D). (By the way, Chinese and Koreans do not have the Haplogroup D gene.) The Jomon period lasted for 10,000 years, there were no wars, and everyone lived in peace and harmony. After the Jomon period, during the Yayoi period, the Yamato Jomon people were invaded by military immigrants from the Korean Peninsula and China, and the Yamato Jomon people mixed with them and became Yayoi people. As a result, mixed-race Yayoi people became physically different from Ainu people, but that doesn't change the fact that both Ainu people and general Yamato people are Japanese. The Ainu people have assimilated into the Japanese population, and most people do not even know that they have Ainu blood. There are almost no pure Ainu people left in Japan.

They are a Northern outlier of the “Sundadont” subgroup of East Asian people, i.e. the Ainu have dental characteristics more similar to South-East Asian and Polynesian people, including Maori, than to other North-East Asian people such as the Japanese.
    Since they share this characteristic with the Okinawan, and Okinawa was peopled from sea during the mesolitic (unlike the major Japanese islands that were peopled already in the paleolitic during a period of low sea level), it is possible that the Jomo people had some admixture of sea-faring people from Taiwan or Southern China. This would make them distantly related to the Maori.

    I think that the Koreans represent a discreet, very early branch of the Proto-Altaics, splitting from them in the Altais at about 8000 BC (shortly after the Sumerian split). They moved to Baikalia, then to Manchuria. They didn't become Tungusic until they mixed with Tungus elements much later. They also absorbed Mongolic elements from Mongols who moved to Manchuria. The Buryats, Tuvinians, and Yakuts are the closest genetic relatives to the Koreans, and may have spoken Koreanic tongues originally.

    The Yayoi people were Sino-Viets who originated in Jiangsu, at the mouth of the Yangtze. Fleeing the Great Wars in China, they migrated first to southernmost Korea, where they came to speak a Buyeo (Koreanic) patois. They then migrated to the islands of Japan (300 BC), where they conquered the Jomon (Ainu) people. Their patois became Old Japanese. Around 200 BC, a Wu noble Hong Yi (Ninigi), descended from Duke Tai of Zhou, came to Hyuga and started the Japanese Royal House.

    Q. The Ainu have been depicted as "mysterious proto-Caucasians" unrelated to Japanese people. However, DNA research shows that Ainu are the direct descendants of the Jomon, the ancient people who created Japan's first culture and one of the world's oldest extant potteries. This means that the Ainu and present-day Japanese are biologically related. Would you comment?

    Excellent presentation. But the Ainu are not related to the Andaman Island people, they are African Descendants. The Ainu people ARE directly related to the Australian Native Tribes (of which there are 500 or so). Australian natives are directly related to ancient Indo-Europeans, or the Neanderthal/Denisovian mixture, that spread thru Asia and into the lower continent, up to 100,000 years ago. There is much speculation now, due to ancient skeletons found in South America, that the First peoples of the Americas, were in fact, the same tribes as the Australian Native, which includes the Ainu. The Siberian Asians, were a later immigrants to North America, After the Australian/Asian tribes. The Current peoples of India, are direct descendants of the ancient, and still current, peoples of Australia. The Australian continent peoples, are the Oldest and unmixed culture of man on Earth. Much older than current African tribes.

    Ainus are definitely not European Caucasians, as they will be the first to tell you. The Genes don't tell lies.

    According to other people’s research, Ainu people of Japan were originally caucasian. They weren’t European caucasians, but much more ancient, Aryan descendants of survivors of Atlantis. When Atlantis fell, there were survivors. They were tall, and fair-skinned. These survivors decided to scatter around the world, and connect with tribes of simple people that lived on earth around that time. They connected with these primitive tribes, and they taught them all of the knowledge that they brought over with them from Atlantis. They taught them various arts, and crafts, taught them how to build their cities, and establish social order...Of course there was also some exchange of knowledge, because the simple tribes had their own knowledge. Eventually these tall, fair skinned survivors married the daughters of the Chiefs of these simple tribes, and this is where the Ainu people of Japan come from. Supposedly according to their research, this is how the samurai tradition began. All around the world, ethnic cultures have their own ancient legends about these mysterious tall, caucasian people who came to their ancestors, and taught them knowledge. You can find these legends in both south and north American Indian tribes, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and more...
    Here’s some research on Ainu people of Japan. I think people should check out all available information before coming to conclusions. I understand people want the truth to be what they want it to be, but the truth just is... You gotta follow the truth where it leads, even if you don’t like it

      Ainu are nit australoid. They are also not aryan.
      Ainu and their ancestors, the Jōmon, came from Central Asia about 40,000 years ago to Japan. They carry haplogroup D-M55, which is distinct from other D branches since more than 56,000 years. According to Sakitani, a Japanese geneticist, they are not related to any modern ethnic group. Another Japanese anthropologic and evolutionary geneticist, Noriko Seguchi, says that most Jōmon (and thus Ainu) originated somewhere in Siberia (or Central Asia itself, and were closer to the many Caucasoid groups than to Mongoloid groups. He suggests the possibility of a basal lineage that splitted from early Caucasoids.

    Actually the Australoid ancestors of the Ainus were already pale before the arrival of the Ainu speakers from Taiwan in 7000 BC, because they mixed with the Nivkh in Tohoku in 10,000 BC. Most of the Ainu migrated to Japan when an Austroasiatic people from Fujian invaded Taiwan in 7000 BC. These invaders mixed with the remaining Ainus and became the Tai-Austronesians. All Tai-Austronesians have Ainu ancestry.

    The Ainu were originally pale Australoids, but today have a large Asian (Yayoi) admixture. The famous Kennewick Man was an Ainu, showing that the Jomon went to the New World. The Aleut, Haida, and Chumash tribes are their descendants in America. Much of Japanese technical ingenuity comes from them, they invented the world's first pottery.

    The Chukotko-Kamchadals (Luorowetlans) were probably the progenitors of the Inuits. The Inuits most likely originated as a mixture of Luorowetlans and Athabaskans in the Yukon valley. Some Proto-Alaskans went to the Aleutian Islands, mixed with Ainus, and became Aleutians. The Haida and Chumash started as Ainu colonies, and the Uto-Aztecans were a mixture of Hokan-Penutians and Luorowetlans. The Algonquians show definite affinities with the Nivkh (!).

      The Yayoi ancestors of the Japanese came to Japan around 300 BC. They came from Jiangsu via Korea. They started out as Jiuli Para-Viets in East China, but had been Koreanized by the time they went from there to Japan. They spoke the Koreanic Buyeo language at first. But this became creolized by mixture with the Jomon (Ainus) and became the unique Japanese language.

    Incorrect understandings.
    Present Japanese is a mix of Ainu (old Mongoloid), Polynesian and South Chinese (and Tibetan?).
    It happened in thousands of years ago.
    There is a diversity in Japan.
    "Ainu" who were not mixed to the other still keep their identities, it is because northern part of Hokkaido was cultivated just in 18th century and later.
    But most of Japanese including Ainu think they are Japanese.
    Simultaneously, they never forget their identities.
    Identity of Ainu is still alive strongly more than that of Indian in America.
    Most of Japanese recognize this racial diversity in their country and no one looks down on Ainu anymore.
    Many young people think Ainu very cool.

Ainu culture arose somewhere between 1000 and 1400 AD, WAAAY later than this video claims.

    Ainu may be remnants of the first migration from Africa to Asia, as they exhibit haplogroup D (specifically D2), which is a sister clade of haplogroup E (common among Nilo-Saharan populations in Africa). Ainu also exhibit a small percentage of haplogroup C3, suggesting admixture from an unrelated population in Siberia, probably the Nivkhs who co-habited with the Ainu on Sakhalin Island prior to the Ainu migration to Japan

Immigrants from China and Korean ruled Japan and told their mixed-blood children they were not Ainu. But the research of DNA tell the truth.
    Japanese have near 40% genes inherited from Jomon people. Demographic records in ancient Japanese also can prove that. Jomon people still lived in Japan and had their territory for near 1000 years after Yaoyi people ruled Japan. Yaoyi people in ancient Japan also had genes inherited from Jomon people.

    Aino is an ancient Ainu word, but its meaning is that it was born to a different ethnic group. Today Aino describes this as a human being. The explanation is missing. Before the extinction of the Jomon people, the words "Aino is a human being" were interpreted as "Aino is a human being born by a Jomon woman, but is an Ainoko born by rape by a different ethnic group." It is unclear what the name of this Aino was called in the dialect of Southern Hokkaido. In Vietnam, the Yomiuri Shimbun reporter estimates that Vietnamese girls were raped many times during the Vietnam War and gave birth to one million children. A maximum of 30,000 Korean soldiers, usually 20,000, gave birth to 1 million children. Most of these Dairaihan are hateful Korean soldiers, and most of them are thrown away in the sea, rivers and jungles, and nuts and other food for animals. Even so, there are tens of thousands of Dairaihan who cannot be thrown away. The Ainu are also children of the same age as Dairaihan. Just as Dairaihan is not recognized as an indigenous people of Vietnam, Aino cannot be recognized as an indigenous people of Japan.
    現在残されたアイノ語はアムール川流域漂泊民の言語、カムチャツカ沿岸漂泊民の言語、オホーツク沿岸漂泊民の言語など数十言語の混成で、この一部が言語消失前に残された。したがって全アイヌ語のどの系統であるのかさえ不明である。アイヌの呼称そのものがアイヌ語では無く日本縄文人の言語である。古称ではアイノである。アイノの呼称は道南の一部の方言で、アイヌ全体ではなんと呼称していたかは判らない。このような状況は、遺伝子にも記憶され、古い遺伝子は大陸沿岸の数種の部族の遺伝子があり、それらの混成、雑婚ののち縄文人遺伝子が混入している。ここで、日本縄文人遺伝子がアイノに混入するが、日本縄文人は殺戮、強姦で滅亡し、「間の子」であるアイノに日本縄文人の言語、文化は伝承できていない。
    アイノはアイヌの古語であるが、その意味は異民族との間に生まれたという意味である。これを現在のアイノは人間と説明している。説明が抜けている。縄文人が絶滅前に「縄文人女が産んだ人間であるが異民族が強姦して生まれたアイノ子である。」と泣き叫んだ言葉が「アイノは人間」と解釈したのである。このアイノの名称も道南の方言で他のアイノはなんと呼称したかは不明である。ベトナムではベトナム戦争時、ベトナム少女が何度も強姦され、100万人の間の子が産まれたと読売新聞記者は推定している。最大韓国兵3万人、通常2万人の韓国兵が100万人間の子を産ませた。このダイライハンのほとんどは憎き敵の韓国兵の子としてほとんどは海、川、ジャングルに捨てられ動物の餌にナッた。それでも捨てきれないダイライハンが数万人生存している。アイヌもダイライハンと同様の「間の子」である。ダイライハンがベトナム先住民と認定されないように、アイノも日本先住民に認定できない。
