Does anybody know of a hypothesis that Jews and Japaneses are of common ancestry called 日猶同祖論?

Question

I Found it in my japanese dictioanry and it´s very important for me to know more about this hypothesis. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Japanese came from China.  The Sinodonts and Sundedonts both developed in Tibet and migrated from there based on language studies.  Someone is trying to insult the Japanese (as well as stereotyping the Jews) IMO.

Answer 2

Well, from what I know of Japan, it was populated by several different immigration waves, the first of which was in 12000B.C by the current Ainu (Malay), then by about 600B.C you got the first Chinese wave, by the time of the Chinese emperor Qin, they were another big Chinese immigration waves to reach Japan, then later waves were Koreans and Chinese, until the Ainu got submerged and mostly assimilated by the new Japanese (decent of Korea and China) aristocracy... So all in all, if the Japanese are descendant of a specific race, then they are mainly descending from the Ainu, not the Jews... Asia has remained secluded from the rest of the world for so long, that they were no real interbreeding between non Asian race before the Roman empire. Also, the current Jews have separated from the Palestinian about 3000 years ago, as they were sharing the same common roots...

Answer 3

no clue

50K years ago in africa lived the ancestor of us all

Answer 4

No, but were all related.  Goes back to the tower of babal.

Answer 5

I've been told that there are many Japanese words with a Hebrew derivative suggesting that Jews live in that part of the world many centuries ago!  In that case, there were likely many intermarriages.

Answer 6

Not a clue. I've never heard of this before.  I did a quick search, though, and found that the concept relies on the belief that the "lost ten tribes" somehow migrated to Japan.  In addition, the theory relies on a whole lot of vague similarities and coincidences for proof.  I think it's just that--vague similarities and coincidences.

Answer 7

Via Mormonism maybe?  Hey if the Comanches are jews, it follows that the Japanese might be too....
