This woman lived in what is now Japan 4,000 years ago. | FOG OF HISTORY

On this channel I show you real people who lived on our planet many years ago. For fans of Anthropology and History. Today I'm going to tell you about....

She belonged to the Jōmon culture. Her remains were found in 1998 on Rebun Island, which is located off the northern coast of Hokkaido. Scientists were able to read her DNA from her tooth. The study showed that she had dark skin, brown eyes and dark, curly hair. Most likely she had freckles, she had a genetic trait that allowed her to perfectly digest fatty foods, something nowadays only found in Arctic populations. This means that she had a lot of fatty sea meat in her diet. She also, unlike many modern Japanese, had a good tolerance for alcohol. Her genes also showed that she was at high risk of developing solar lentigines or darkened skin if she spent too much time in the sun, so the artist added some dark spots to her face.

Despite her differences from today's Japanese population, the Jomon woman is more closely related to today's Japanese, Ulchi, an indigenous culture from eastern Russia, Koreans, aboriginal Taiwanese and Filipinos than to the Han Chinese

Curly hair in japan and good tolerance for alcohol ??? 🤯
Genetics is fascinating 😅

[glenndavis]

4000 years ago, Japan probably was a much more Arctic environment.
Amazing that they can tell all that genetically.

Do you make longer videos on these people? All I've seen are these shorts.

One correction, all humans can digest fat, not just Arctic populations. We're evolved to eat and thrive on fatty meat, supplemented with greens, fruits and honey on occasion when in season or when game wasn't available. Most of the the fruits and vegetables we have in grocery stores today didn't exist 4000 years ago.

liked her food and beer fair play enjoy it while you're here

The narrator says that she had curly hair. The artist has portrayed her with straight unkept hair. Why do people presume that those who lived four thousand years ago did not groom themselves. They might have groomed themselves with natural products better than present day people.

Pilipino is not a race but more of a nationality, a mixture of Polynesian, Taiwanese & many other bloodlines.

She ate sea food and drank beer. She lived good. She must have been good company.

[etheldadyer-major]

"The study shows she had dark skin, and curly hair". are you showing the opposite?

[hannabaal]

High fat seafood diet and a tolerance for alcohol? That's a first.
