The Ainu people are a unique group of Caucasians living in the northern coastal regions of Japan. This ethnic group possesses physical characteristics typical of Europeans. However, it is peculiar that they have been residing in this area, situated between Asia for thousands of years, with the nearest settlement of modern Caucasians being as far as 20,000 kilometers away. Additionally, their blood type is quite distinct. It is puzzling that they are nestled between two major ethnic groups: the Chinese and the Japanese, yet they have managed to preserve their language and cultural practices, ensuring that the uniqueness of their ethnicity remains intact.
To this day, no one has clarified where the Ainu people originated from or when they arrived. Experts unanimously agree that, even among hundreds of millions of Mongolians, it is hard to believe that a few tens of thousands of individuals with Caucasian genetic and physiological traits could randomly appear. So, what could be the underlying reason for this phenomenon?
There is a legend about the Ainu people that goes as follows: In ancient times, a deity of wisdom and courage descended to the northern regions of the North Sea. His shining golden spaceship radiated a bright gold during the day and resembled a red flame at night. When the spaceship soared into the sky, it made a sound akin to thunder. This deity stayed on earth for several seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—teaching the people agriculture, arts, commerce, and knowledge. He also imparted lessons on societal rules and moral conduct. After fulfilling his mission, the god ascended in his spaceship toward a star, disappearing forever.
