"One historical curiosity is some nineteenth-century attempts to relate the word for bear, *h₂ŕ̥tḱos with that for 'white', *h₂ŕ̥ĝ (only possible with some non-discriminatory nineteenth-century reconstructions) and postulate an original PIE *'white (bear)'. This was one of a number of extraordinary arguments for the theory of a polar origin for the Indo-Europeans which here required the reconstruction of *'polar bear (Thalarctos maritimus)'."

D. Q. Adams, J. P. Mallory (1997)

Theory..

We posit that the Ainu have considerable genetic crossover with both Europeans and Finno-Ugric peoples, having once been a part of ancient hunter gatherer cultures on the mammoth steppes which heavily contributed to both Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Uralic ethnogenesis.

This is evidenced by their likely origin based upon DNA evidence, the similarity in pottery between Jōmon & later Indo-European pottery styles, their expression of European phenotypes and the comparative similarities between the abovementioned aspects of their religious tradition.

Comparative Religion..

The Ainu creation myth shows similarity to Indo-European & Uralic.

According to folklore, the first being, or the first Kamuy, created the world. The ancestor of man is sometimes said to be a bear, similar to how *Yemo- (Norse "Ymir", Rigvedic "Yama") in the Indo-European creation myth, is a giant.

In Finnish mythology, the bear (Finnish "karhu") was seen as the embodiment of the forefathers, whom they knew by epithets such as mesikämmen, "mead-paw". And in the Indo-European linguistic tradition, bears were revered which can be inferred by the practice of substituting the original word for the beast, *h₂ŕ̥tḱos, with epithets such as *berô (Germanic, "the brown one") and *medvě̀dь (Slavic, "honey-eater").

These tentatively inferred similarities may suggest a very ancient relation.

However, a range of phenotypes along the European-East Asian cline may be observed.

Ainu men predominantly harbour Y-haplogroups D-M55(D1a2) and C-M217. Both of these groups originate on the mammoth steppes of northern Eurasia, which was home to the Ancient North Eurasians (ANEs). This latter group's genetic signature appears strongly in Indo-Europeans, Uralic peoples and, to a lesser extent, Native Americans.

On the Ainu People...

Ainu folk are an ethnic group indigenous to the Japanese archipelago, whose historical basis dates back at least 16,500 years.

They are first attested in the archaeological record during the Incipient Jōmon period (14,500 – 8,000 BCE). The word Jōmon is a Japanese translation of "cord-marked", in reference to their pottery style which exhibited cord marks not dissimilar to the Indo-European Corded Ware Culture of Northern Europe.

The Ainu were displaced through ethnocide and miscegenation when Japonic speakers invaded the archipelago c. 900 – 300 BCE, pushing them to the northern extremity of Japan.
