| In 1967, the human bones of the “Minatogawajin” said to be the roots of Japanese People was found at ae stone pit near the seashore of Minatogawa, Guhsigashirason. This man's bone is presumed to be about 17,000 to 8,000 years ago. About 5 to 9 bones were found, and they are blessed with a preserving state among the Pleistocene fossil man's bones found in Japan . We can understand the whole form only in the Minatogawajinn. They are about 153 to 155 centimeters tall, and they are small in a whole, and their arms are thin and their hands are large, it seems that they were very strong . Their head bones are larger than modern people, their cheek bone are high, their noses are high, and they have craggy faces. For the physical features, it was indicated that they are similar to the “Wajyakujin”at Java island in Indonesia and the “Ryukoujin” in the south area of China, so there is an opinion that the “Minatogawajin” belonged to the marine adaptive group at the shore area in East Asia. Anyway, the “Minatogawajin” can be said to be an important existence for the roots of Japanese people. The “Minatogawajin” has the little same feature as the Jomon man, so , at present, it is positioned as they are the roots of Japanese people. It is said that Minatogawajin crossed the main land for Ryukyu Islands, and then they became the Jomon man. But, it isn’t clarified that it became an ancestor of Okinawan People. | |
