As an ethnic Siberian native, I wish I could go to Siberia! I always got asked if I'm Chinese at school (I live in Ireland) and we didn't know! I did a DNA test to find out. Thanks for this video, it taught me so much about my history.

My fiance is Native American, and I'm always fascinated to learn more about her ancestry, no matter how distant. Thanks for the info!

Yes, the Siberian tribes and the native Americans are very closely related genetically .

This is very interesting as a Finn. We had similar shamanistic practices as many Siberian groups and the DNA is also distantly related. Some of our local shamans today have actually learned a lot from Siberians who were able to keep it more thriving.

Actually I am from Siberia and many people who earn some money run away and buy properties in warm areas of Russia or even abroad because living 8 months in a raw fighting with snow and cold is devastating, if people from warm placeis reading this, guys you are luckiest people

Central Asians: Latinos of Asia Filipinos: am I a joke to you? 😂

Siberia, land of gulags. I love that region. I visited Vladivostok a few months ago. It was nice

I’d like to know more about the spread of reindeer herding across North Asian groups, similar to how horse taming spread throughout Central Asia.

This is one of the most interesting videos you've made.

Everyone: What ever happened to the Siberians? Masa: Allow me to lecture you, son.

Fascinating video. I've been curious about this particular topic for quite some time; and although it can be a little confusing due to migrations, diversity of Siberian ethnic groups and eventual conquest of the region, you were very clear and succinct in stating the distinctions whilst doing your best in explaining theories about the contemporary make-up of these groups. Excellent work Masaman.

“Okay boss I made the map of central Siberia” “AH yes good wor- BORIS YOU СУКА IT’S A DICK!!!”

I always forget how gigantic Russia is

Finally I've been waiting on a video about the Siberians

wow. so happy I found YOU! fascinating work. TY!

Please do a video about people replaced by Indo-european migrations.

"Latinos of Asia" lol don't say that on Twitter Masaman I don't want any mobs to come for you.

Please make videos about this Are Koreans & Native Siberians related? Are Japaneses & Austronesians related? Altaic peoples Are Dravidians & Native Aussies related? Are Celts & Israelis related? What happened to Hayato People? Austronesians in Japan

This is an interesting video, Masaman.

As a korean. Most Korean came from siberia. I can feel blood brother seeing siberian

It was very interesting to know about the back history of Siberia, I'm adopted from Siberia, and I'm specifically Nanai. I don't really know much about my birth background.

11:15 Red Alert 3 OST! Thanks for reminding mi this song, and thank you for these informative videos, i've been learning a lot!

Brother u make good detailed and well researched video

Why not make an extra section detailing the different language families and ethnicity. The video was all over the place

1:18 So they changed it because it looked like a dingdong, I see

Respect for all the different groups of people around the world.

Mason, you're Amazing! Thank you...

I’m glad Mason’s pronunciation is getting better 😄

Keep up the good work. I wanna learn about all of them :-P

Well some Siberians came to what is now Canada, as far as the Atlantic. And some of their descendants married French and Scottish soldiers who stayed in Canada after the conquest of Quebec. They are called "Métis", mixed people who adopted European culture.Most Métis probably do not know they are mixed. I didn't until age 75. There exists in Canada today, spread from coast to coast bits of the Siberian genome, probably more in aggregate than before Europeans arrived.

Massman: Most groups aren't homogeneous genetically. Also Mssman: Shows genetic data of groups with mostly homogeneous DNA.

This was especially interesting!

Mammoths disappeared from the uppermost islands of Siberia 3600 years ago. Anyone holding out hope that they're still somehow up there :)

Good video, thanks.

Personally this is the best clip so far,,,,, I love history and genetics,,,

I would like to learn more about the Yeniseian peoples, if possible :) And also, thank you for all of your wonderful videos!

Nice! Got a lot of material that's been suggested covered in this video. Some brainstorming: 1. My usual reiterations of what you have not done yet (thank you for doing many of them btw) 2. Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Assam, Nagaland, Tibet, etc. 3. World's Esperantist population (and other artificial languages that actually form a community) 4. Vikings of the Baltic/Ingria Region/Alands/Bornholm/Gotland, Saaremaa, etc.-the lesser known areas of northern Europe with some fascinating backgrounds. This is where you can analyze Doggerland as well. Also, the Tornedalians and Jamtland might be interesting to analyze as well. 5. Nan Modal on the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia 6. Nauru, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, etc. (you can discuss the upcoming independence referendum on Bougainville Island on 10/15/2019 in this) 7. ****The LESSER known islands and peoples of Indonesia (or the Philippines as well for that matter) 8. Seychelles-The Seychellois are a creole type group that I think would fit well with this. 9. What is a "Chicano"? (One definition I've studied is that after the Mexican American War, people of Mexican descent living in areas that became the USA remained there and became the indigenous Hispanic culture of the USA. Is there truth to that?) 10. I still think analyzing the people's of the Southeast Pacific would be fascinating. You'd obviously include The Galapagos and Easter Island, but there are other inhabited areas that are really interesting as well. 11. French America in New England (look up French Azilum in Pennsylvania as well). The former independent countries of this area (such as the Vermont Republic) would be interesting. 12. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creole_peoples 13. Jews of China, India, and East Asia (Kaifang Jews, Cochin Jews, etc.) 14. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Islands_Americans 15. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hshjd7Rl2qmug5c.html 16. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMqJqrB9uLSsnok.html 17. Bulgaria 18. Western Mediterranean Islands 19. Ethnic minorities in North Korea (yes, there are a few, which is why I am suggesting it) 20. Last of the Mohicans-the true story

Masastan! I like it

You are brilliant, my man. Keep them coming.

You lead into this video beautifully in the last couple weeks introducing uralics first, then mongols and now the Siberians. I have very much enjoyed your coverage here 😊

What happened to them what do you mean what happened to them; they are not extinct they are still here you can literally go to Siberia and visit them. And, I highly recommend it. It is a fascinating trip that will reside with you for a lifetime. Also why do people always talk about the Siberians like they are gone.

Dude, I am rewatching videos, and I think they are great I hope you start doing them again some mentioned you had health problems so if are dead Mey earth not be heavy on you

Super interesting 👌

I find these people along with native Americans and Maasai having the best traditional clothings

YESSSSS!!! I will head to Masastan!

Good video massaman the last three videos have been great thanks for touching on some points I have been asking about I appreciate it.

Huh, that explains my ancestry results. 2-10% Native American with an added 2-4% Siberian.

We moved to Canada. ;) on concert of The Hu in Toronto I was so surprised to see my fellow Siberian First Nations

10:06 You forgot Nanai in the Tungusic Group.

Love this piece. Fascinating! Thanks for making it.

Thanks for you video. Could you make a video specifically about yeniseian and selkup people?

Why “Latinos of Asia”? Serious and genuine question. When I hear Latinos, I imagine people who speak Spanish, as oppose to Lusophone culture, or speakers of Portuguese. So if the Central Asians are Latino, what are the Lusófonos in your context? Am I missing something?

I have Paleo-Siberians genes via my Native Amerindian ancestors. I'm a Zapotec indian of Mexico.

Nice video Masaman!

Again shows that human movement has been Very Dynamic forever!

Next Video: *What exactly is a Mixed Race Person?*

From what I have heard in history class, Native Americans do have distant connections to Siberians, but the Bering Strait land bridge was more like a huge landmass of its own that was somewhat cut off from the rest of north Asia, which is why even though they are the closest relatives to Native Americans, Siberians are still very distinct genetically. Idk

Great work thanks for the upload.

Thanks very informal

My dad tells me our family is part "Samoyed Nenet" which no one ever seems to talk about. Apparently they were heavily repressed by the USSR. It would be great to see your style of research on them.

Siberians are East Asians....made of up the following groups and other smaller groups without going into a dna analysis....chinese, korean, japanese, mongolian, vietnamese, thai, lao, burmese, even native americans have east asian features. Welcome home my Siberian brothers and sisters. You are not alone, you are a part of the rest of us.

Like the background music in this one it was cool

Masaman good job. As usual. Love your maps. Do KYRGYZ people and related nations to them Altai,Hakas,Tyva,Shortsy' etc. Who all lived along the Enisei river before. Tyurk Enesai-Motherly valley.

The Latinos of Asia. I'm throwing that in at the next party.

Very good video. Thank you. However, there can be no direct comparison between colonisation of Siberia by Russian Empire and colonisation of other continents by Christian nations, especially North America. My own grandfather was from a small Western Siberian people who lived in what is modern Tomsk region. My grandmother's ancestors were the first cossacks who claimed that territory for the Russian Empire in 1602. The history of my family is well documented and I can tell you that there was NO genocide. There was no forced conversion to Christinanity either. My grandfather's ancestors became Christian in 1762, this is 160 years after they were officially counted and recorded for tax purposes and basically left to their own devices. The small peoples of that region before the Russians came paid taxes to Tatar khans who protected them from the nomads. So it was normal for them to swear allegiance to another power and carry on. The number of "conquering Russians", who in fact were ethnically very diverse, was very small they built fortresses and relied on the natives to make up the numbers to protect the new frontier against the nomadic raiders from the south and south-east (called collectively Kirgiz/ though this is not quite accurate, of course). Some more numerous peoples in Eastern Siberia and Russian Far East did put up a resistance. For example, Chukcha people. It took them approximately 150 years to warm up to the other peoples in the Russian Empire, not just Russians. Maybe sometimes the interests of the Empire took precedence over the interests of the native peoples of Siberia, but they were never deiberately suppressed as is evidenced by so many prominent and famous people in Russian history who came from their midst. Over time there were a lot of intermarriages with settlers coming to farm in Siberia from Central areas of the Russian Empire as is evidenced by the tens of thousands of Church records I have studied just for Tomsk region alone. Yes, there were millions of people who made a long journey with their families to resettle in Siberia as many areas of this vast territory are very fertile. The cliche about people ending up in Siberia only against their will is outdated. Think of it as Australia. Yes, they too sent criminals there, but this is only a small part of the country's history. In 1878 in Tomsk there was a University and only 2 prisons. During Soviet Union ethnic minorities as they were called were given a lot of attention including priority for education and development. They were accepted into top universities without exams. Their culture was promoted, they were given opportunity to develop their own literature. Tomsk University has traditionally supported research of Ket and Selkup (very small local ethinc groups) languages and folklore. I spent 5 years in Kamchatka (Russian Far East) as a child. I went to a typical kindergarten along with children of many nationalities including children from local ethnic groups. We learnt about the culture of the local coastal and tundra peoples and their dances, songs and customs, including shamanic. I do remember that the children of the raindeer herders were sometimes forcibly taken from their families to be put into boarding schools. This was done because primary and junior education was compulsory. Compare this to not letting your child go to school in the UK, or even simply letting them play truant - you will be prosecuted, and in worst cases your children will be taken away by Social Services. I also remember that some children were not used to certain foods and complained about digestive problems. Again, the school meals had to be balanced and the same for everyone. Perhaps these issues, and some other ones could have been handled better. But apart from newborn nationalists I can't imagine anyone from the Siberian ethnic minorities who has actually lived during the Soviet times honestly claiming there was a drive to make them extinct. I was brought up to respect every human being, ehtnic group and people and encouranged to learn about them.This would not be possible in the country with a history of colonial arrogance.

Very interesting

Masaman, your knowledge amazes me. How can I get as smart as you?

What happened to the Siberians? Many moved to the Americas and became the Native Americans.

My dying wish would be watching your new video. From Siberia with love

What’s up Broski 🦋!

Your video topics are top notch! Things I wonder about, yet never see videos on...keep up the good work!

Those beaded head bands on those gorgeous Siberian girls were colorful and exquisite! I loved them!

I had a small celebrity crush on a girl from Yakutsk and made a painting from one of her instagram posts. My friends could not believe me when I said that she was Russian! (They said she must have come from Korea, or some place like that) My IG explore feed was full of Yakut people for the few months after that. They have a small but burgeoning pop-culture, underrated and tucked away from view from the rest of the world

Where do you get your stock photos of people in traditional garb?

After testing I am 85% Siberian, 7% Finish, 3% Mongolian and 5% Turkish

Could you do a video on the Australian Aborigines

my boyfriend is from siberia, I love their language，religion,music and way of living, his culture is beautiful.

Quality video. Good coverage, but is missing critical mapping of blood types. Blood-type archaeology would be interesting add-on.

Amazing topic!

Your videos are always so interesting. I'd like to know more about the Samoyeds.

I was just researching about my Saami ancestry and geeking out on your videos about the Saami and then you upload this video, perfect timing! Our Siberian cousins..

WE ARE HERE!

@Masaman can you make a video about Switzerland?

My husbands mother was from the Ulch tribe, and my grand-grandmother and her family also originally from Siberian Far East (Now called Russian Far East), I was born and raised there too, its so nice to finally find some great info about our families roots, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

11:02 - you're slightly wrong here. Local culture was never really intentionally "suppressed" in Siberia. In the pre-1917 Russian Empire, the pressure was rather to "civilize" the natives. Nevertheless, they were allowed their tribal self-governance. In the USSR, the local cultures were actually promoted and sponsored. However, the natives mostly suffered because of the ecological policies of the state. There was also some pressure to "educate" the natives in modern professions (like, tailors and tractor drivers), which also adversely affected their culture.

idk if anyone's pointed this out already but the reconstruction at 2:47 is actually of the 35-40,000 year old Kostenki man; he was a distant ancestor the Mal'ta boy, but predated him by over 10,000 years, before Ancient North Eurasians really developed

Thank you for your hard work and research :)

Can you make a video on tamils? Its caste/social groups. Genetic analysis and genetic distances between different caste groups.

I would like to learn about the Ket, Evenki, Nenets, Mansi, and Mari peoples. I would also like to learn of the origins of the turkic peoples and about the origins of the N haplotype and why it spread so far. And also about whether there are any ancient haplotypes like F or P still in Siberia ( as well as C of course)

Can you do a video on Tartaria?

Who are the Australasians ? I keep digging your channel and can't stop enjoying it, it's awesome ! Wish you the best bro ;)

My great aunt lives in Siberia. She was forced to leave her home in Lithuania and go to Siberia but ended up falling in love with a man there.

Thank you for covering this topic @Masaman. I've been curious about the Russian interaction/conquest of the Siberian peoples recently. Would you (or anyone) know of any good books on the subject?

you should do video on tatars and baskir . they deserve video of their own

Nice

I’m half Russian (Siberian) from my mom’s side since she was raised and born there. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the Siberians, thank you for the video ^^

They are still alive and well. Evenks, Chukchi, Yakuts, Koryaks...and unlike in the US, they don't live in reservations

I'm still here!

Amazing

As a Peruvian with high Native American blood, it’s cool to see how much Native Americans have evolved. And it’s cool to see how the last wave of Siberian’s that are now known as Arctic Native Americans (eskimos) that came to the Americas look less evolved and look more similar to Siberian’s. This is all so fascinating because you can even see the resemblance that Native Americans and Siberian’s have (the eyes and the big cheeks). There’s a familiarity and similarity :)
