Who do they look similar to and where did they originate from ?
- the women often had lip tattoos , but if one can ignore that ;
origins : Basically ( ) they came a 'basal people' ; a very early split off from east Asian hunter gatherers , before the east Asians split into North East Asian and South East Asian people forming the Jamon people who moved further east and then became isolated due to sea level rises during the end of the last ice age .
Then they were admixed with people from Siberia , particularly Lake Bikal ( a place I have made many posts and conjectures about ) and also the Tibetan Plateau .
They are Japanese people ... the originals .
