Japan Island
Descendants of Ainu people?
Dutch doctor Stepo and his son * * * put forward the view that Ainu people (Xia Yi people) and Okinawa people belong to the same system. German doctor Baelz has lived in Japan for 29 years and traveled all over Japan to investigate and study endemic diseases. Baelz found that Japanese people are divided into different types due to different regions, which can be divided into a few Changzhou types (aristocratic types) and most Satsuma types (civilian types)
American zoologist Moss discovered the first Beizhong site in Japan, initiated the research of modern archaeology and anthropology in Japan, and was called the founder and pioneer of modern archaeology and anthropology in Japan. Kazuo Hirai, a Japanese scholar, was the first Japanese to study anthropology in Europe. He thinks that Ainu and Black Dwarf are different races, and the Japanese are not necessarily from Ainu.
Japanese scholar Ryoji Ogi is an expert on Ainu people. After a long-term comparative study of Ainu bones, he proved that Ainu people and black dwarves (fallen residents) are the same system from the anatomical point of view. His views are contrary to those of Hirai Goro, and they have been arguing over this issue.
Later, Japanese scholar Torii Ryuzo investigated Ainu people in Sakhalin Island and Kuril Islands, and found that the characteristics of pottery, stone tools and life axes made by Ainu people proved Ozu's point of view, and Hirai Goro's point of view declined from then on.
During the shogunate period, Japanese people began to study their own origins from foreigners living in Japan. Early Japanese scholars basically focused on the relationship between Ainu people and left-behind people. The focus of the debate is whether the Japanese only originated from Ainu, and whether Ainu and Okinawa are a systematic race. After Torii Ryuzo, Japanese academic circles almost accepted this view, but some people opposed it.
The first Japanese scholar who used statistics to study this problem was Kenji Kiyono, who denied the view that the Japanese were Ainu people and advocated the theory of Japanese Stone Age people. He believes that the rope literati are ancient Japanese, and later mixed with mainlanders to form modern Japanese. Due to the difference of mixed blood, there are different types of Japanese in the north and south.
Continuity theory and riding country theory
After the war, Japanese scholar Hasebe Ren Yan put forward the "continuum theory" of the origin of Japan. He believes that human beings have created culture and civilization, which in turn have influenced the changes of human physique. For example, the improvement of medical conditions and nutrition level have changed the height of young people.
In order to prove their point of view, Hasegawa's students Shang et al. collected a large number of skull materials in different periods, such as Kamikawa, Yayoi, ancient tombs, Murato, Kamakura, Edo, Meiji, etc. They conducted extensive research on these materials to prove the correctness of their point of view.
Finally, they came to the conclusion that, after the Meiji Restoration, both the rope literati and Yayoi had great changes in their constitutions. This great change is not caused by the alternation of mixed blood or races, but a continuous change. This theory is very representative and is called "Hasebe Suzuki Theory".
Egami Namio, a Japanese scholar, put forward the theory of riding the country, which had a great influence on the study of Japanese origin. Mrs. Jiang believes that rope culture was introduced from Siberia and Manchuria. During the rope culture, Japan was isolated from the outside world. In the middle period, it was influenced by the migration of national culture in the Pacific circle. During the Yayoi period, a tribal country was established in Kitakyushu.
In the second century AD, the Chen Dynasty, founded by Fuyu people who invaded southern Korea, invaded Japan in the late period of the ancient grave era in the fourth century AD and became the ruling nation of Japan.
Contemporary famous theory: Originated in Yunnan, China.
There are few ancient human fossils in Japan, and there are few representatives of Pleistocene. The "Ishihara Man" found in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture is considered to be equivalent to the "Beijinger" in China, but it has been denied by scholars in recent years. At present, the oldest human fossil in Japan is the man "Niuchuan Man" in the late Paleolithic period 50,000 years ago, and the earliest site is the Shuitaitai Site in Oita Prefecture. Japanese Neolithic fossils include "Sanri Man", "Binbei Man" and "Okawa Man".
Japanese scholar Takenori Saburo and others have spent nearly 10 years conducting a large-scale survey of ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia and Yunnan, China. Wu Dejian Saburo and others studied the relationship between the Yunnan ethnic minorities in China and the Japanese from the perspective of folklore and history, and put forward the "Japanese origin theory".
According to Kenzaburo Oe, the vast number of ethnic minorities scattered from Yunnan to northern Thailand are actually Japanese, which is a new viewpoint put forward by Kenzaburo Oe. He believes that among the many ethnic minorities in China and Yunnan, many ethnic minorities have customs and habits very close to those of Japan, and even many ethnic minorities have languages similar to Japanese. Therefore, Takeyuki Kensaburo and others pointed out that the Japanese are actually from China and Yunnan where ethnic minorities migrated, and these ethnic minorities are the essence of the Japanese.
Torii Kenzaburo's theory has a great influence in Japan, which almost subverts all previous theories.
Where did the Japanese originate? This is a question that has puzzled Japanese scholars for more than one hundred years. Who are the ancestors of Ainu people and rope scholars? Were the original Japanese "Japanese" among the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, China? This problem has not been finally solved.
