Hi Steve - you have some nice pages here.

As another student of anthropology I was very interested in this. However, many of the differences are not just 'skin deep'. The Ainu of Japan also have different *skeletons*.

See also the red-haired Caucasian mummies of ancient China. Kennewick Man in North America is also another disturbingly 'European' find. Us white guys got everywhere!

Thanks.

Ainu's "skeletons" are just as similar to any other human skeletons around the world. If you want to talk about DNA, well the Ainu are not related to the Europeans, as Cochran as pointed out.

As for Kennewick Man, the latest studies are pointing to him being a proto-Asian Paleolithic man related to today's Ainu. I've also encountered Ainu people in person and if they resemble anyone at all it would be the South East Asians of Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and even a hint of Australian Aborigine. Not once did I think they could be part European.

As for the blond mummies in China, the latest DNA traces their roots more with people from India and the Himalayas with a sprinkle of Central European added in.

Truly a "multi-cultural" people.

Fascinating! I stumbled on your blog while researching steatopygia, and it's really interesting and informative. I'm always eager to learn about the genetic and evolutionary backgrounds for racial phenotypes. I'm a redhead, and apparently we're all just Darwinian mistakes, but the stark contrast in the relatively isolated populations of Japanese is enthralling.
