I was under the impression that the Ainu were much different in their physical features than the Japanese. I see no distinctive differences here. Nevertheless, they are a fascinating people. I need to read more, but there is so much interesting material about nations and people I find it hard to find time to learn all I want. Maybe we should live much longer. Hopefully, we will someday.
