Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

Japanese History "Chuko Shinsho" (The Japanese) was born from a mixture of Jomonjin and the Yayoi people. It is the well-known origin of the Japanese people. However, the periodization of "Jomon / Yayoi" was established only in the latter half of the 20th century. The discovery of bones and earthenware has continuously changed the origin of the Japanese people. Is Jomonjin a distant ancestor? Is the Yayoi people a conqueror? It reveals the self-portrait of the Japanese people from the perspective of anthropologists and archaeologists who look at "race" and "nation" while being swayed by politics and mythology.
