Examples of distinctly northern Han Chinese phenotypes

I think it’s a Tibetan Mongolian mixed look but without any of the basal Asian or West Eurasian influence characterising either group. But IMHO, I feel like whenever northern Han exhibit “less stereotypically Asiatic traits”, they have a somewhat higher chance of passing as slightly Central Asian/Caucasian shifted (the right woman is a good example) compared to most Koreans and Japanese, who usually pass as north shifted Southeast Asians/Austronesians.

Maybe it’s due to that Tang era input along with the ancient Yumin influence.

More examples of Siberian shifted Northern Chinese

Still not a very common look but not entirely absent either. Also don’t think they pass in Japan or Korea as a side note lol.

Classify this Siberian shifted Chinese student

Very rare look in full East Asians TBH. Think she’s from hubei…

Theories about the ancestors of modern Japanese and Koreans. Is this accurate?

I’ve been reading alot about this topic but so far, can it be deduced that modern Japanese, especially in terms of their continental Asian ancestry, descend from proto Japonic and Koreanic lineages whilst modern Koreans show more exclusive continuity with proto Koreanic lineages?

Recent genetic studies show that the Yayoi were more related to ancient Korean Ando population, which I believe is more related to proto Japonic/Mumun/Hongshan peoples, and that Kofun were more “Yellow River shifted”, which I think is reflective of proto Koreanics coming from Bronze Age west Liao river groups, who were mostly of yellow river descent .

Max level for each bond skill?

I sincerely apologise if I’m asking a really dumb question but I’m playing persona 5 strikers rn and so far, I can’t find a reliable source that tells me the max levels for each bond skill.

So for anyone that has finished the game, what is it?

Question about Siberian admixture in Japanese/Koreans

Apologies if this gets asked alot but I have two questions:

  1. ⁠Is the Siberian ancestry actually capturing “real” Siberian ancestry found in Amur river, Baikal, Mongolian plateau etc populations or is it a proxy for something else such as Shandong hunter gatherer ancestry?
  2. ⁠Why do Japanese often score higher Siberian ancestry than Koreans? Is it due to admixture with Jomon groups who themselves mixed alot with neighboring Siberians? For example, Ainu, Emishi etc.

Which Himalayan group is the most Northeast Asian shifted?

Would it be Bhutanese and Tibetans and to some extent, Nepalese? I think Northeast Indians would be the least Northeast Asian shifted since they have some Austroasiatic ancestry afaik.

Genetic connection between Dawenkou culture and ancestors of Yamato Japanese people?

Is the connection between them established or is it still hypothetical?

Are Nepalese and Bhutanese really more “Northeast Asian shifted” than Northeast Indians?

And is the Southeast Asian related ancestry in Northeast Indians more Austroasiatic shifted than Austronesian shifted?
