It’s just damn sad when China puts out more truth than some Western entities do these days.
Holy Cow Batman...
Findings by American anthropologist C. Loring Brace, University of Michigan, will surely be controversial in race conscious Japan. The eye of the predicted storm will be the Ainu, a "racially different" group of some 18,000 people now living on the northern island of Hokkaido. Pure-blooded Ainu are easy to spot: they have lighter skin, more body hair, and higher-bridged noses than most Japanese. Most Japanese tend to look down on the Ainu.
Brace has studied the skeletons of about 1,100 Japanese, Ainu, and other Asian ethnic groups and has concluded that the revered samurai of Japan are actually descendants of the Ainu, not of the Yayoi from whom most modern Japanese are descended. In fact, Brace threw more fuel on the fire with:
"Dr. Brace said this interpretation also explains why the facial features of the Japanese ruling class are so often unlike those of typical modern Japanese. The Ainu-related samurai achieved such power and prestige in medieval Japan that they intermarried with royality and nobility, passing on Jomon-Ainu blood in the upper classes, while other Japanese were primarily descended from the Yoyoi." The reactions of Japanese scientists have been muted so. One Japanese anthropologist did say to Brace," I hope you are wrong."
The Ainu and their origin have always been rather mysterious, with some people claiming that the Ainu are really Caucasian or proto-Caucasian - in other words, "white." At present, Brace's study denies this interpretation.

That’s just good business to ensure repeat customers.
Truth-telling gaffe in aisle three.
Finally, an airline that cares about its customers.
Good advice from Air China.
You can’t say that. You can only think that.
How is this different than the CIA Factbook?
Having been in and out of Japan many times I know that there exists a brotherhood that acts in the best interest of their fellow countrymen.
China, obviously likewise.
Forewarned is forearmed and all these statements are resemble the pre-liberty briefs all sailors received detailing the “good” areas from the “bad” areas.
Nothing to see here folks, move along...
I read some genetic studies which pointedly stated that the cradle of the Japanese was in fact (according to DNA tests) from the Korean peninsula. Interestingly enough, years ago I took a few geography courses that considered the cradle of Turkish peoples was also the Korean peninsula.
Just ask Custer!
Chinese may not have a culture of freedom but they sure have more sense than liberal Americans. I talked to a few foreign exchange students who showed me bits of ‘training films’ (rough translation) they’d had to watch before coming to America. Three guesses what kind of people they were sternly warned against getting close to and where they were going. If any business here had run the same thing verbatim every PC org in the nation would have had a screaming tantrum.
GMTA.
People will forgive almost any mistake, but they won’t forgive you for being right.
You may find this interesting.
"The cradle of human civilization may well have been the prehistoric lowlands of the Southeast Asian peninsula, rather than the Middle East. Since those lowlands ‘sank’ beneath the seas thousands of years ago (actually drowned by rising sea levels), humanity has remained unaware of their possible significance up through the early 21st century. "
Traveling to London each quarter, I can state with 100% confidence, China is absolutely correct. . .especially when in muslimes areas.
There are Muslim Indians
