The History of Civilization Mapped in 13 Minutes: 5000 BC to 2014 AD

I guess it all depends on what you call civ­i­liza­tion. So, nobody in North Amer­i­ca was civ­i­lized until Spain and then France and Britain sent some folks over to throw their weight and weapons about. I sit here and shake my head at the arro­gance of we — yes, we — descen­dants of Euro­pean folks. Cool map, but imcom­plete.

Lol, there was no civil­i­sa­tion in Japan until like 500AD?
What crazy per­son made this video?

There is lit­er­al­ly archae­o­log­i­cal evi­dence that the Yay­oi from Korea spread into Japan start­ing in 300BC, this is when all the archae­o­log­i­cal Kore­an penin­su­la items are found in Japan (clear­ly indi­cat­ing this as the start date).

Not only does sci­ence prove this, but even Chi­nese tests write about a civil­i­sa­tion of Yamatai peo­ple of Japan back in the BC era (who were descend­ed from Kore­an migrants, Yay­oi).

This video is sil­ly.
Here is the actu­al his­to­ry for Japan, backed by actu­al sci­ence and edu­ca­tion (unlike this video in which the guy who made it just appears to wing it and go with guess­es instead of read­ing about the his­to­ry of reach coun­try in the map).

1.Original Japan­ese are Jomon peo­ple, reach­ing Japan 25,000 years ago. Again the shell mid­dens and the skele­tons found and DNA analy­sis prove this, it’s not debat­able I am afraid. Emishi, orig­i­nal Ryukyuans and Ainu are all descen­dants of those Jomon (though Ainu are part­ly mixed with Siber­ian ori­en­tal peo­ple who met Ainu in Sakhalin where they mixed, so Ainu unlike oth­er Jomon peo­ple car­ry a lit­tle Siber­ian DNA and will have a slight­ly more ori­en­tal appear­ance than pure Jomon groups like Emishi who have a more intense­ly Cau­casian appear­ance and skulls).

2. The Kore­an Yay­oi find Japan around in 300BC, they enter in around Kyushu and start slow­ly spread­ing there. Form­ing the mod­ern civil­i­sa­tion at the time (that had more tech­nol­o­gy than the Jomon civil­i­sa­tions of Japan obvi­ous­ly). Thus the civil­i­sa­tion that the Yay­oi brought in, became the dom­i­nant one in Japan.

3. Some­how a lot of Jomon men mixed with the Yay­oi women, mean­ing this process of coloni­sa­tion must not have been how we imag­ine the Euro­pean colonis­ers to be today, but instead the Yay­oi and Jomon appear to have been some­what of a peace­ful inter­min­gling and mix­ing.
Because if it was a vio­lent and bru­tal inva­sion by the Yay­oi, you would­n’t expect much of the Jomon men’s DNA to remain, yet around 45% of Japan­ese men are descen­dants from the Jomon Y DNA, even more than Jomon women that are more like around 18% mito­chon­dr­i­al DNA descen­dants of Jomon women.

So it means Jomon men bred with Yay­oi women, more often than Yay­oi men bred with Jomon women.

4. From the point of enter into Japan, the Jomon become mixed away, and the new civil­i­sa­tion and peo­ple (call them Yam­a­to if you want) are already part Yay­oi and part Jomon now, these peo­ple now end up slow­ly tak­ing over more and more of Japan.
These peo­ple gain more mix­ture, as more Jomon natives are assim­i­lat­ed in more dis­tant Japan­ese lands. As a result if we mea­sure Jomon DNA in Japan­ese, it’s low­est at the Kore­an entry points, and it’s high­est at the last assim­i­lat­ed zones.

This is sim­ply because the Yam­a­to peo­ple who already were a mix of the two, the par­tic­u­lar Yam­a­to that migrat­ed fur­ther into Japan to assim­i­late more Jomon, end­ed up gain­ing more of the mix­ture than oth­er Yam­a­to that remained low­er in places like Fukuo­ka or Hiroshi­ma etc.

That is the com­plete his­to­ry of Japan, some­thing which could be called an advanced civil­i­sa­tion first entered Japan in around 300BC accord­ing to archae­ol­o­gists, and they were migrants from Korea. They brought with them met­al­lur­gy, glass mak­ing etc.
