Скачать или смотреть Why The Ainu Genetic Origins is So Mysterious

Dive into the fascinating mystery of the Ainu genetic origins—from Victorian-era misclassifications to breakthrough ancient DNA studies. Discover how the Ainu, once wrongly labeled as "Caucasoid," have revealed a millennia-long lineage through genome analysis, unique Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers, complex admixture with Okhotsk culture, and the resilience of their distinct traditions. Explore cutting-edge research and historical events shaping the Ainu's genetic profile within the Japanese archipelago and their rich cultural legacy. This video covers physical traits, key explorers, forced assimilation, tripartite ancestry, haplogroup studies, linguistic isolation, and current revitalization. Find out the latest science behind Japan’s most enigmatic indigenous group.
