I noticed when discussing the Longshan Culture, the black pottery is described as the clay itself being black. From my studies at Pitt in Anthropology dept and the work on pottery we did there, the black comes from the firing process and not from the clay itself. If it is fired without oxygen then the black color is produced. This can be seen from the work here in the US from the SW where there are incredible examples. it is an easy enough process to do in a pit fire and would start off as a mistake or in natural variation in firing and then could be cultivated from then on to produce the desired results.

@Jon Willig well.....many think ainu could have originated partly from the Jomon people (One of the Ancestors of Modern Japanese, with the highest dna being from yayoi people). They original ainu might have come north from around siberia, then settled in hokkaido, and interacted with jomon. But it gets complicated....

If we consider the pattern of writyen language found as symbols in neolithic China is not the evidence that it's the seed to all other languages. In mesopotamia we don't see any early pattern if written language in neolithic period for the later full grown written language which appears to one strong suggestion that it wasn't the language developed there but brought by those who came.
@weifan9533 3 жыл бұрын
There's no unified "Neolithic Chinese" culture, since at that time China was very diverse, drastically different cultures and peoples existed from north to south. In the north around the Liao River and the Yellow River areas, people mostly cultivated millet, and it's likely that one group of those millet cultivators emerged later as the Huaxia or Sinitic people. In the Yangtse area people cultivated rice, and they were likely the ancestors of Hmong-Mien, Tai-Kradai, Austroasiatic, and Austronesian peoples. And further south in the Pearl River area and the Southwest, there were Hoabinhian hunter-gatherers that hunted boars, deers, buffaloes and gathered taros.

Excellent vid. It is funny how we trace culture through pottery being the black pottery that spread through out Ancient lands that seem to tie trade routes together as well as some culture I will give them that. But in archeologic assumptions I like to ponder with today's reality of what one day they will probably consider the Coca Cola culture being replaced by the plastic bag culture and emerging both from the zippo lighter culture. LOL! Looking back it seems like today all we can hope for is some organization of the chaos and an acknowlegement that we will never truly know but a whisper of what truly was. Keep up the good fight and let's keep digging!

@Ali Kılıç The Sinitic tribes (that became the Han Chinese) lived as nomads with temporary cave houses. Some still do today. Agriculture was re-invented by the proto-austronesians in China (rice and fox-tail millet) but they were driven out by the invading Sinitic nomads. Anatolia was probably the fabled Atlantis. Too bad, it was greekified and then turkified. The original cultures are wiped out so it presents more challenge in terms of Anthropology.

Similar criticisms can be put for the bronzes illustrating various talk points, and the etched illustrations which are culturally incorrect. Furthermore the illustrations of the bronze workers suggests a lack of sophistication in clothing style and design that is not consistent with any envisioning of the clothing and weaving techniques used by the peoples that subject to your discussion.while the archeological record cannot show details of daily life, there are historic practices that go hand in hand with mud brick and rammed earth building that echo the past. Whats more, In Xi'an is a a well known 6000 yer old neolithic village excavation, with many interesting finds and between Chongqing and Chendgdu lies a 3000? y.o. bronze culture (Sanxingdui) which seems to have no literary record or cultural parallel. It surprises me that neither of these were picked up.

I dunno where all these "not from africa" people came from, but it seems they are in every video talking about early homo sapiens. To cite Australian Museum "Latest findings - including new fossils and improved DNA research and dating techniques - confirm the complexity of modern human (Homo sapiens) origins. Evidence still suggests that all modern humans are descended from an African population of Homo sapiens that spread out of Africa about 60,000 years ago but also shows that they interbred quite extensively with local archaic populations as they did so (Neanderthal and Denisovan genes are found in all living non-Africa populations) and these local populations contributed to our species’ success. So, while the general basis of the original Out of Africa model prevails, it requires extensive revision." Homo sapiens did come from Africa, we are homo sapiens. The new findings simply suggest we make new friends along the way.

If you think that 8000 years ago they are separate the way they are today you're missing a whole lot of history, the Chinese were the ones who moved to Japan and became Japanese yeah there were some Bush people there and they were pretty much exterminated a few may have been bred with but that ancient Oriental better than you mindset would have meant anyone fucking the Savages was ostracized. Please remove your modernist mindset when looking at something ancient 🙄🙄 Japanese did not just grow out out of the ground you know, this is where they came from and how they got there. Despite being a Canadian I don't feel the need to be polite when someone is stupid it's like someone saying remove those Roman artifacts when discussing Britain 1500 years ago but this is worse this is way older, and two societies that are much more entwined and similar.. since you do a great deal of Asian research can you please clarify for us all exactly when China who let Japan be its own separate entity.,,, in modern times only about 70 years ago.. okay well maybe they are ethnically different than Chinese oh no wait no their descendant of the Han people..... so if they share the same blood and they were under the same flag tell me again how archaeological discoveries from 8000 years ago do not contribute to the same culture???? You can't answer that without being a racist Asian! And yeah I can say that because I was severely educated growing up in Vancouver y'all got more hate for each other than any other demographic on the face of this Earth you're looking at shared history and all you can say is get that off of here like it's tainting your history to be a part of them.......

unfortunately the illustrations are quite erratic and often misleading or confusing. It would also help if you learned to pronounce Chinese names, at least according to modern practice, preferably also reconstructed ancient enunciation. Alternatively you might consider showing the characters of the words that otherwise remain unintelligible. Moreover, your account of the transition to Xia is garbled, as Yao and Shun, the great predynastic model rulers featured very prominently and only in Confucian history, where importantly not part of any dynastic lineage and practiced strict meritocracy. Huang Di is certainly a legendary figure like Shen Nong and has no place in this process.

Right off the bat another misinformation about China. Anytime the narrator opens with “they independently” you know it’s going to full of fairytales that have been told over and over but simply isn’t true if you scratch below the surface. Let’s just start with, the Chinese were not the original inhabitants of most of China. So when he refers to “the Chinese” he could be talking about Iranians, Celtics or even Nordic looking people. I’d love to watch this, but it’s just going to make me angry when he refers to artifacts of the tocharians, Sogdians, Scythians, Saka, Wusun, Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and all decendents of indoEuropean etc as Chinese.

Why you acting like Tocharian remains are found all over China? These are mostly contained within Xinjiang especially the Taklamakan Desert, that is Central Asia brother not China proper. They have no hand in the foundation of Chinese civilization which occured along the great bend of the yellow river. Also they weren't Celts nor Nords they were Indo-Iranic people. I don't know why you mentioned Xiongnu as well. They were a confederacy founded by the ancestors of the Turks and the Mongols who were South Siberian people.
