Description: Just how Austronesian is the country of Japan? Japan is certainly a fascinating nation with a glorious and dark past just as all major nations, having transformed from a rural peasant kingdom to one of the greatest industrialized counties of all time, but they actually have quite an interesting history of migration to their islands. In today's video we'll be discussing some of the history of ancient migrations and how this has impacted the genetics and culture of the modern Japanese or Yamato people throughout the islands. Thanks to Evan Pangaribuan for suggesting the video topic (a lot).
