	Japanese Paleolithic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Japanese Paleolithic is also highly original in that it incorporates the earliest known ground stone tools and polished stone tools in the world, dated to around 30,000 BCE, a technology typically associated with the beginning of the Neolithic, around 10,000 BCE, in the rest of the world.
		It is estimated that 10 to 20% of the genetic capital of the Japanese population today derives from aboriginal Paleolithic-Jomon ancestry, the remainder coming from later population contributions from the continent, especially during the Yayoi period.
		The study of the Japanese Paleolithic period is characterized by a high level of stratigraphic information due to the volcanic nature of the archipelago: large eruptions tend to cover the islands with levels of ash, which are easily datable and can be found throughout the country as a reference.

		A famous typhoon referred to as kamikaze, translating as divine wind in Japanese, is attributed to devastating the second Mongol invasion forces who invaded in the spring of 1281, although some scholars assert that the defensive measures the Japanese built on the island of Kyushu may have been adequate to repel the invaders.
		Japanese intellectuals of the late-Meiji period espoused the concept of a "line of advantage," an idea that would help to justify Japanese foreign policy at the turn of the century.

	The Ultimate Japan Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		Japanese society is ethnically and linguistically very homogeneous, with small populations of primarily North and South Koreans (1 million), Okinawan (1.5 million), Chinese and Taiwanese (0.5 million), Filipinos (0.5 million), and Brazilians — mostly of Japanese descent — (250,000), as well as the indigenous Ainu minority in Hokkaido.
		Japanese citizenship is conferred on an infant when a family member registers the infant's birth in the family registry held by a neighborhood ward office.
		The Japanese population is rapidly aging, the effect of a post-war baby boom followed by a decrease in births as the country modernised in the latter part of the 20th century (notable aspects including the shift from agricultural to urban lifestyles and the increasing tendency for women to remain in the workplace).

	Ancient Japan
		The Paleolithic Period in Japan is variously dated from 30,000 to 10,000 years ago, although the argument has been made for a Lower Paleolithic culture prior to 35,000 BC.
		The present Japanese people were produced by an admixture of certain strains from the Asian continent and from the South Pacific, together with adaptations made in accordance with environmental changes.
		Japanese historians long sought to emphasize the antiquity and degree of unity of Yamatai in order to aggrandize Japan's relations with other East Asian nations.

	Athena Review Vol.3, no.2: Recent Finds in Archaeology: A Hoax in Japan
		In particular, the Japanese are pressed to compare the age of humanity in their lands against that on the Chinese mainland, where hominids are known from as early as 1.3 million years ago (see p.5).
		Since the roots of modern Japanese society are found in China, and its culture ever since has been influenced from the mainland, the Japanese have suffered from a sense of lacking a purely native beginning.
		It is still too soon to evaluate how Japanese Paleolithic studies will evolve, and whether the earliest appearance of humans in the land will once again rest at about 30,000 BP - approximately as it was known before Fujimura began his work.

	Modele for the Origins of the Japanese Palaeolithic
		The question of the origin of the first human inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago is closely tied to the question of the existence of an Early Paleolithic in Japan.
		Common sense says that one of the two hypotheses that accept a probable Early Paleolithic in Japan must be valid, and that the idea that humans could not have been in the islands before 35,000 years is highly improbable.
		The Japanese evidence for earlier occupation of the islands continues to be weak, both as valid artifacts and as ancient artifacts.

		Fujimura, 51, told a special investigative committee of the Japanese Archaeological Association that the ancient tool fragments he claimed to have discovered in Miyagi Prefecture - at the Zazaragi ruins in the town of Iwadeyama and at the Babadan A ruins in Furukawa — were in fact planted there, the sources said.
		Fujimura's latest admission will probably lead to Japanese Paleolithic history, which is based on his fabricated findings, being rewritten.
		Committee chairman Mitsunori Tozawa, a professor at Meiji University, declined to comment on the specific names of the ruins in question, but said it was likely that details would be made public after a gathering of the Japan Archaeological Association in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, over the weekend.

		Of the sixteen chapters, over half were written by Japanese historians and social critics, ensuring that the volume is not biased toward the views of non-Japanese scholars.
		She proceeds to demonstrate how this may be the case in Japanese conceptions of the Ainu and the Roykoyans.
		Ueno's discussion succeeds in dismantling arguments about Japanese identity which are based on this family formation, while at the same time providing evidence of the variety of family forms that were common before the Meiji Era and which were considered as possibilities for modernizing Japan.

		A research team led by Fujimura announced on Oct. 27 that it had discovered eight stoneware pieces that experts believed were the oldest in Japan from a layer of earth more than 600,000 years old in the Kamitakamori ruins in Tsukidate, Miyagi Prefecture.
		Fujimura was often said to have "god's hands" since he has excavated most of the Early Paleolithic period stoneware found in Japan.
		Toshiaki Kamata, director of the Tohoku Paleolithic Cultural Research Institute, said that Fujimura was too used to unearthing artifacts, and that it was fortunate Fujimura was caught.

	Japanese Paleolithic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Paleolithic populations of Japan, as well as the later Jomon populations, appear to relate to an ancient Paleo-Asian group which occupied large parts of Asia before the expansion of the Mongoloid populations characteristic of today's people of China, Korea or Japan.
		It is estimated that 10 to 20% of the genetic capital of the Japanese population today derives from aboriginal Paleolithic-Jomon ancestry, the remainder coming from later Mongoloid contributions from the continent, especially during the Yayoi period.
		The study of the Paleolithic period in Japan is quite recent: the first Paleolithic site was discovered right after the end of the Second World War.

	Methodologiy \| The Antiquity Delusion
		The internal tradition is that Japanese sovereignty descended from the skies at a much earlier date.
		This creates a public attitude that is very receptive to archaeological discoveries tending to show that the presence of humankind in the Japanese islands goes back a long way, especially if the result puts Japan on a par with the more widely recognized cradle of civilization: Mesopotamia.
		The longer-term scholarly consequence will be an agonizing reappraisal of the whole picture of the Japanese Paleolithic, which at one stroke has had much of its physical evidence placed in doubt.

	Stone Pages Archaeo News: Japanese Paleolithic sites questioned
		Following closer scrutiny of sites after the discovery of fabrications of prehistoric stoneware, Inada's report is expected to spark debate on Paleolithic culture, which may lead to a reexamination of the hypothesis that Stone Age people inhabited the country.
		In an article of the latest issue of the magazine Kokogaku Kenkyu (archeology research), Inada said it was highly likely that the hole was built by people at a later period.
		Ten of the sites that were believed to be Paleolithic settlements, which were discovered in 1999 and 2000, could have been natural holes created by land subsidence, he added.
