Quite awhile ago (between 4000 and 1500 years ago)!
Yugiri used the Miqo'te animations due to her race not being implemented into the game yet. I am pretty sure that those will update as soon as they are implemented.
It's very relevant that the Keepers ended up in the Shroud, to me and hopefully to you as a player if you decide to play a Keeper. That is where your racial lore is found. Not Doma. While we don't know the racial make up of Doma today (other than 'all dead or gone' because you know, Doma's obliterated), black hair and dark eyed Hyurs seem to be the staple judging by the refugees.
And there is a lot of gender discrimination in Keeper society, just not against females as you are used to in the real world. The males are so undervalued that they don't even get their own names and are NUMBERED by birth order, for crying out loud. XD They're pretty well forced out of main Keeper society, wandering, coming back to breed.
Linguistically we've seen that Domans follow a Japanese forename and English surname type style (the latter I can't confirm, but remember reading it, so it may be incorrect). They obviously have a native tongue that is Japanese, as they talk about it in the Ninja storyline. Keeper naming conventions don't remotely resemble that either. I would agree with the others in saying they are more African or Middle Eastern in nature.
in regards to Doman last names... I think I can explain the japanese fore and English Surname....
I know the Japanese did not always have last names they only had first names. Then they were allowed to take surnames. So my theory is like the Japanese in earleir Era's the Domans also did not have last names.. but had to take last names when the garleans went to Doma
