Temporal variations within Tanegashima Island and re- gional variations of the northern half of the Nansei Islands were used to study population history. The late Aeneolithic Yayoi to protohistoric Kofun populations (c. 0–700 AD) of Tanegashima was found to be similar to the native Japanese populations, such as the Neolithic Jomonese (c. 10000–300 BC) and Hokkaido Ainu; however, the modern population of Tanegashima was similar to the migrant Jap- anese populations such as the post-Jomon people (c. 300 BC–present time) of the Japanese main is- lands. Using statistically sufficient materials, this study confirmed that a substantial change had oc- curred from the prehistoric to the modern period in Tanegashima Island. It is suggested that temporal change occurred in Tanegashima over approximately 1000 years after substantial change (c. 300 BC) in the Japanese main islands. The delay in temporal change in Tanegashima indicates that dispersal of migrant populations from northern Kyushu to its southern end occurred at a time remarkably later than the northeastward dispersal of migrant populations to central Honshu Island. Furthermore, the geo- graphical cline extending from North Kyushu to Okinawa Main Island via Tanegashima Island sug- gests southward gene flow from North Kyushu to the central Nansei Islands via the northeast end of the Nansei Islands.

  • Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
    Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.

Eighty-four species belonging to 31 families were sampled and they included many subtropical species. Some characteristics of this fauna showed that intertidal rocky shores of Mageshima Island were environmentally comparable to cobble shores. Keywords: Fauna, Intertidal, Mollusca Introduction Mageshima Island is located 12 km west of Tanegashima Island and has a 12 km coastline and is 8.5 in surface-area. It is a flat island with a maximum elevation of 71 m. Historically, this island had no residents and was used as a base for fishing or as a farm except from 1951 to 1980, when more than 500 people reclaimed the island and resided to cultivate sugarcane. The coast of the island is known for a good abalone fishery. Therefore, we can expect that this island has a preferable environment for coastal organisms because of very low human impact on intertidal shores and having subtidal shores which can persevere rich abalone resources. There have been some studies dealing with terrestrial flora and fauna of Mageshima Island (SASAKI et al., 1960; NAKAMINE, 1976). One subspecies of sika deer, , was described from this island (KURODA & OKADA, 1950).

    The Wakasa tale: an episode occurred when guns were introduced in Japan F. A. B. Coutinho Faculdade de Medicina da USP Av. Dr. Arnaldo 455 São Paulo - SP 01246-903 Brazil e-mail: coutinho @dim.fm.usp.br Introduction : Very often the collector of Japanese swords becomes interested in both Japanese armor and Japanese matchlocks ( teppo or tanegashima ). Not surprisingly, however, the books that deal with swords generally deal very superficially with teppo: the little information provided on the history of teppo may not answer all the questions which may arise. In fact, most books mention only that the teppo were introduced in Japan by the Portuguese in 1543. Sometimes it is mentioned that this happened in Tanegashima , a small island in the south of Japan. Occasionally, some authors add a little more to the story; for example, I. Bottomley and A.P. Hobson ( Bottomley (1996) page 124) write that “the Lord of Tanegashima bought two teppo… for an exorbitant sum”. He asked his swordsmith to copy the guns. There were some technical problems which the swordsmith finally resolved “by exchanging his daughter for lessons with another Portuguese who arrived a short time after.” Also according to Hawley ( Hawley (1977 ) page 94), the governor of the Island tried to buy a gun: “…making all sorts of offers which the trader continued to refuse. Finally the governor, perhaps to soften him up, put on a big going-away feast complete with music, drinks and geisha . At this feast the trader got a glimpse of the governor´s daughter who was an outstanding beauty.

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying such dental variations have not yet been completely elucidated. Recent studies have clarifed that a nonsynonymous variant in the ectodysplasin A receptor gene (EDAR 370V/A; rs3827760) contributes to crown traits related to Sinodonty. In this study, we examined the association between the EDAR polymorphism and tooth root traits by using computed tomography images and identifed that the efects of the EDAR variant on the number and shape of roots difered depending on the tooth type. In addition, to better understand tooth root morphogenesis, a computational analysis for patterns of tooth roots was performed, assuming a reaction–difusion system. The computational study suggested that the complicated efects of the EDAR polymorphism could be explained when it is considered that EDAR modifes the syntheses of multiple related molecules working in the reaction–difusion dynamics. In this study, we shed light on the molecular mechanisms of tooth root morphogenesis, which are less understood in comparison to those of tooth crown morphogenesis. Morphological variations in human teeth have been well studied in the feld of dental anthropology 1,2.

Title: The search for the first Americans : science, power and politics / Robert V. Davis, Jr.. Description: Norman : University of Oklahoma Press, [2021] | Includes bibliographical references. | Summary: “Case study of the practice of science in its search for the First Americans and examines: (1) the conflicts between the methods of science and the traditional beliefs of modern Native Americans; (2) the power struggles for primacy of place internal to the sciences themselves; and (3) the interactions with external authorities such as government agencies, the press, universities, and museums. It examines how First American issues have been defined and how differences in cultural myths, scientific theories, research methodologies and public policy remain unsettled in modern America. It also investigates the blurred boundaries between science and myth as well as between fact and theory that ultimately weaken the credibility of science as a cultural mechanism for interpreting the natural world”— Provided by publisher.
