Tibetans: Why are they so Genetically Distinct?

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 1 жов 2019
  • 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!

    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.

      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.

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.

      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.'

    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.

    Tibetans are not completely Haplogroup D either. They have a decent amount of Haplogroup O3a2c1-M134 shared with other Tibeto-Burman people groups. The Han Chinese (Sinitic) patrilineal lineage, Haplogroup O3a2c1a-M117 is a direct mutation of this O3a2c1-M134. Cousin to both is O3a2b-M7 carried by Hmong-Mien males.
    Also stop portraying the Tibeto-Burman branch like it's a separate language family from the Sinitic (Chinese) branch just because of politics. You gotta preach what is true. The existence of the Sino-Tibetan language family is pretty much recognised by all linguists throughout the world.

    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.

    The origin of Sino-Tibetan people is somewhere in east Tibet plateau. From at least 8000 years ago, Sino-Tibetan people started to spread out. As a part of this emigration, the common ancestors of what are now called Tibetan, Han, Di and Qiang people moved northward, and then separated from each other around 5000 or 6000 years ago. Tibetans began to move westward and spread all over the plateau while Han people moved down the plateau eastward and spread all the way to the coastal area of east Asia. This theory was first put forward by some Western historians decades ago(some Han historians were convinced that their ancestors came from west, but they cannot tell the exact origin), and now it's confirmed by modern DNA techniques.

In addition the name of Tongavancsenget is White Castle (feher var in hungarian) just to complete the colour combination of Red White and Green, the national flag of Hungary. According to my information the Tibetans are the descendants of the White Huns, or Hungarian Scythians.

    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.

    It's a shame you didn't talk about one of the most interesting and almost particular phenomenae of Tibetan culture. Polyandry: the socially recognized marriage (mating) of a woman with two or more men (usually brothers).

    I’m Chinese but not communist Chinese, it seems to me Tibetan pronunciation of numbers and some words are closely related to Middle Chinese which are still spoken by southeast Chinese diaspora. Mostly likely the language spilt happens 2,000~3,000 years old with Tibetan adopting Brahmic scripts. I have a copy of Chinese origin language text book around 200 bc that can trace back to pronunciation and meanings of words.

      I have looked into the root words of Tibetan, Chinese and Burmese. There is huge similarities between Tibetan and Burmese but very little between Chinese and Tibetan.

    Sherpas are good in mountains 🏔 don’t get me wrong but when it comes to high altitudes, we Tibetans rule the mountains. Born in 16,000 above sea level, we play soccer in 18,000 above sea level.

      Rishi Gurkha’s are from the hills. Sherpa’s and other such groups in Nepal are from the mountains though.

    Tibet absorbed many Indo Greeks from Afghanistan when Buddhist dyanasties were over run by Islam.
    The high crested hats worn by Tibetan monks and Dalai Lama himself are reminiscent of Greek Helmets.
