Maybe it’s due to the AA input, producing more inland shifted looks, cos honestly, I see alot of similarities between north shifted vietnamese and interior Asians who don’t look overtly/fully west Eurasian. Siberian introgression might’ve also been likely via north shifted ancient Sinitic migrations. Such looks can be found in the rest of mainland SEA too although Burmese slightly lean more Himalayan.

It’s usually the Vietnamese with recent southeast Chinese or austronesian admixture that may resemble some Koreans and even Japanese, especially the ones from further south TBQH.

They obviously don’t look identical but I think there’s slightly closer similarities due to Yellow River ancestry itself having alot of inland shift like Central Asians. Unsurprisingly, these similarities also DRASTICALLY drop in places like eastern China and Taiwan due to receiving more coastal Asian input, even if most of the locals are genetically closer to north Chinese.

I think that may also explain why north shifted mainland SEA are more likely to be passed as pseudo central Asian compared to other EASEAs as they have alot of Yellow River ancestry from SW China, although SE Chinese input also exists, along with a decent amount of West Eurasian from Indus Periphery.

First is Uzbek, second is Kazakh, third is Mongoiian, fourth is Uyghur, fifth is Tajik and sixth is Kyrgyz.

I think you guys might be right about Yellow River ancestry itself being inland shifted, making some similarities with East Eurasian shifted Central Asians more apparent even if coastal shifted Koreans and Japanese possess Siberian and Jomon ancestries, especially Japanese. And unsurprisingly, the Central Asian similarities DRASTICALLY drop in subgroups like eastern Chinese and Taiwanese despite most of them being north Chinese shifted genetically.

This may also explain why northern shifted mainland Southeast Asians have a slightly higher chance of looking pseudo Central Asian compared to other East and Southeast Asians as they simultaneously have quite abit of West Eurasian from Indus Periphery and also Yellow River ancestry, which might have come from southwestern China, although of course, southeast Chinese input also exists.

Btw, first is Uzbek, second is Kazakh, third is Mongolian, fourth is Uyghur, fifth is Tajik.

They are north Viets.

First is Japanese. Second is Kyrgyz.

Whilst obviously NOTHING to the extent of groups like Central Asians, it seems like East Asians and Europeans share very distant ties via ANE-enriched sources.

Here, WestBaikal_EN can be modeled as a mixture of ANA and APS, with APS being modeled as a mixture of ANA, Native American and ANE as irk030 is used as a proxy.

This group also contributed to the genomes of STM_EN, Yumin and HMMH_MN, who in turn contributed to several Northeast Asian populations that are foundational to the genomes of many East Asians, including West Liao River and Yellow River groups although the latter is mostly applicable to upper and middle Yellow River groups.

Altai hunter gatherers have significantly contributed to the genomes of mainland Siberians/ Inner Asians and they can be modeled as a mixture of Native American-related APS, which already has alot of ANE admixture in of itself, and ANE.

It seems like the “disappearance of APS” in mainland Siberians didn’t necessarily result in less West Eurasian ancestry. In fact, there might be even more inflow from them as Siberia was less isolated than the Americas.

Bloody, fun and surprisingly deep, especially the ending and it has alot of cross genre appeal too. I might be wrong in my assessment but I had a blast watching it many years ago, even moreso than most of the classic J horrors everyone recommends.

I don’t mean the 2004 one but the one from 1995, which also talks about Junko Furuta case. Good gateway to true crime or just forgettable? I remember getting disturbed by screenshots lol.
