"Also, many of Ainu housings look similar to Polynesians and Sumerians/Marsh Arabs (M'adans)."

Yup. They all radiated out from Sundaland at the end of the last Ice Age, these Jomon 'like' people. Some became isolated during the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM), 18,000-23,000 years ago and evolved the characteristic Asian features and teeth (sinodont). DNA indicates that the Northern Asians are descended from the Southeast Asians.

You need to read Stephen Oppenheimer's book, Eden In The East.

" In a sense, we are all Ainus. :)"

More like Jomon's IMO.

"...and I thought that Aomori was a Dean Martin song.

Nah.....the correct title is. "Datsa aomori"!
