Ever wondered who the REAL Japanese people are? This video reveals a shocking truth that Japan tried to hide for 150 years. In 2019, geneticist analyzed DNA from a 3,800 year old skeleton that the Japanese government had kept locked away for decades. What he discovered would destroy Japan's national myth: the people they called "primitive barbarians" - the Ainu - were actually the original Japanese. Everyone else, including the Emperor, descended from ancient invaders. What we will find out: - How British explorer Thomas Wright Blakiston first encountered the Ainu in 1865 and couldn't believe these indigenous Japanese looked more European than Asian - The groundbreaking DNA evidence proving the Ainu are direct descendants of Japan's original inhabitants from 40,000 years ago - How the Yayoi invasion from Korea (300 BC) genetically replaced 90% of Japan's population - except in the north where the Ainu survived - The shocking discovery that modern Japanese people only have 12% indigenous ancestry, while the Emperor's family has just 7% - Japan's brutal 150-year campaign to erase the Ainu: stealing their land, banning their language, and kidnapping 1,600 skeletons for "research" - The genetic connections linking the Ainu to Native Americans, Tibetans, and even Polynesians - How young Japanese people today are using DNA tests to rediscover their hidden Ainu heritage Timecodes 00:00 - The Forbidden Discovery 00:58 - Meeting the Ainu - Japan's Hidden People 2:50 The DNA Revolution Begins 3:58 - 9,000 Year Old Proof 5:30 - The Yayoi Invasion Nobody Talks About 7:09 - 40,000 Years of History in Their Genes 8:25 - Japan's Ethnic Suppression Campaign 9:39 - The Stolen Skeletons Scandal 10:37 - Secret Research 13:41 - Genetic Links to Native Americans and Polynesians 15:10 - Conclusion Please like and subscribe. #Japan #Ainu #DNA #Indigenous #Genetics #AncientHistory #Japan #Anthropology #HiddenHistory #Documentary More such videos -
