Tibetans: Why are they so Genetically Distinct?

  • Who exactly are the Tibetans, and why are they so genetically distinct? Living on the world's highest elevated plateau, the Tibetans have become uniquely suited and adapted to this somewhat anomalous landscape, distinct from all the surrounding people groups.
    There are many reasons behind this evolutionary path, some of which aren't too surprising, while some are quite bizarre to say the least. In today's video we'll be going over the genetics, language, culture and history of the Tibetans, other Tibetic peoples and the whole of the Sino-Tibetan family. Thanks for watching!

They flood Tibet with Chinese settlers to genocide the native Tibetans and set up a high-speed rail link to Lhasa so the Chinese can still visit their native villages on holidays.

    Since I did a large list for the last video, I am going to wait for a future one to do an extensive list. Other than my usual reiterations that you haven't done yet (and thank you for addressing many of those topics), the one topic I wanted to suggest to you:
    How closely related are modern Middle Eastern populations to the ancient civilizations of the area genetically? The Arab conquests obviously spread the Arabic ethnicity all over the Middle East and North Africa, but are there any Mesopotamian peoples left genetically? This same question applies to all the multi-ethnic groups in the area as well. Are Levantine peoples and Canaanites the "same" people? Also, were the first Canaanites direct descendants of the Natufians from the Neolithic era? Also, I still think specifically learning more about the Garamantes of the Sahara would be fascinating since they had a complex society and few people have heard of them. Yes I know you've done stuff about the Berber's before, but I am suggesting to focus on this subtopic within their culture.

    Mason, thanks for the very informative videos - I truly appreciate your effort. That said, I should offer a couple of corrections for accuracy: 1. The Bön religion predates Buddhism in Tibet, and Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) is famous for "converting" the Bön gods to Buddhism. 2. The core of Tibetan Buddhism is Mahayana in nature, with Vajrayana being an emergent tantric sect. 3. The image of the self-immolating monk (9:07) is from a protest in Vietnam during the Vietnam war and is therefore unrelated to the voice narration.

      It’s true that, building on earlier initiatives, China’s State Council published a road map in 2014 to establish a far-reaching “social credit” system by 2020. The concept of social credit (shehui xinyong) is not defined in the increasing array of national documents governing the system, but its essence is compliance with legally prescribed social and economic obligations and performing contractual commitments. Composed of a patchwork of diverse information collection and publicity systems established by various state authorities at different levels of government, the system’s main goal is to improve governance and market order in a country still beset by rampant fraud and counterfeiting.
      [...]
      The scope, scale, diversity, and language of the evolving system have caused a lot of confusion, particularly with respect to the existence of a single social credit score. There is no such thing as a national “social credit score.” A few dozen towns and cities in China, as well as private companies running loyalty-type programs for their customers, do currently compute scores, primarily to determine rewards or access to various programs. That was the source of at least some of the confusion. Ant Financial’s Sesame Credit program, for instance, which gives rewards on various platforms and easier access to credit, was often cited as a precursor of a planned government program, despite being a private enterprise.

China’s party-state is collecting a vast amount of information on its citizens, and its social credit system and other developments internally and overseas raise many serious concerns.

      As for individual scores, those are only applied to COMPANIES.
      'The government does assign universal social credit codes to companies and organizations, which they use as an ID number for registration, tax payments, and other activities, while all individuals have a national ID number. The existing social credit blacklists use these numbers, as do almost all activities in China. But these codes are not scores or rankings. Enterprises and professionals in various sectors may be graded or ranked, sometimes by industry associations, for specific regulatory purposes like restaurant sanitation. However, the social credit system does not itself produce scores, grades, or assessments of “good” or “bad” social credit. Instead, individuals or companies are blacklisted for specific, relatively serious offenses like fraud and excessive pollution that would generally be offenses anywhere. '
      The same article even though debunking the existence of a social credit system as imagined in the West, cautions that it could develop into one.
      'To be sure, China does regulate speech, association, and other civil rights in ways that many disagree with, and the use of the social credit system to further curtail such rights deserves monitoring.'

    Tibetans tend to have longer, sharper facial features in East Asia.
    Surely Some people have shorter, blunter like Han Chiense..
    Because Tibet is very wide and their facial features are very diverse.
    (Western Tibetans have mixed face with Indian (Caucasoid ?), Eastern Tibetans have Han Chinese, Mongolia face)

      When I originally read about it, the author claimed that Bon was the majority religion in Tibet when Buddhism was brought in. I wasn’t aware of differing opinions that hold Bon to be only 150. My thinking is that Buddhism picked up elements of local religions wherever it went. That’s why it is different everywhere there is Buddhism. In Tibet I think it picked elements of Bon.

The kingdom of Guge in far west and Amdo is very different. The language hindi although it is synonymous to Hindustan it does originates from Urdu which originates from arabic and farsi. In mahayana it is always mentioned that teachings of Buddha was not in fact in Sanskrit but in Pali and later transcribed in Sanskrit.

    Qinghai would be another interesting topic because of the diverse influences from Tibetans, Mongols and Hui Muslims.
    The Mongols adopted Tibetan Buddhism as their national religion after they conquered Tibet in the 13th century, so even after the fall of the Mongol Empire in China, they had a tendency of invading Tibet and setting up puppet theocratic regimes all the ways up to the 18th century. The Mongols were largely expelled from U-Tsang and Kham by the Manchus, but they still have a large presence in Amdo (Qinghai) to this day.
