Book Synopsis Genetic, Linguistic and Archaeological Perspectives on Human Diversity in Southeast Asia by : Li Jin
Download or read book Genetic, Linguistic and Archaeological Perspectives on Human Diversity in Southeast Asia written by Li Jin. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asia is regarded as one of the birthplaces of modern humans. Recent genetic evidence shows that it was probably the entry point of modern humans from Africa into East Asia and Oceania. With the help of new markers X mostly from the Y-chromosome and mtDNA X several recent efforts have been made to study the populations of Southeast Asia, which have been somewhat neglected in the past. A new picture of the origin and migrations of modern humans in this region is quickly emerging. In this book, the leading researchers in the studies of Southeast Asian, East Asian, and Oceanian populations present the most up-to-date results of their research. Contents: Prehistory of Human Populations: Archaelogical, Linguistic and Paleontological Perspectives: Prehistory, Language and Human Biology: Is There a Consensus in East and Southeast Asia? (C F W Higham); Human Diversity and Language Diversity (W S-Y Wang); Before the Neolithic: HunterBGatherer Societies in Central Thailand (R Thosarat); The Peopling of Southeast Asia: The Case for an African Rather Than an Asian Origin of the Human Y-Chromosome YAP Insertion (P A Underhill & C C Roseman); Genetic History of Ethnic Populations in Southwestern China (B Su et al.); Y-Chromosomal Variation in Uxorilocal and Patrilocal Populations in Thailand (M Srikummool et al.); Genetic Relationships Among 16 Ethnic Groups from Malaysia and Southeast Asia (S G Tan); The Peopling of East Asia: Chinese Human Genome Diversity Project: A Synopsis (J Chu); Origins and Prehistoric Migrations of Modern Humans in East Asia (B Su & L Jin); The Peopling of Oceania: The Genetic Trail from Southeast Asia to the Pacific (R Deka et al.); The Colonization of Remote Oceania and the Drowning of Sundaland (J K Lum). Readership: Upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in genetics, anthropology and linguistics.

Book Synopsis Asian Population History by : Ts'ui-jung Liu
Download or read book Asian Population History written by Ts'ui-jung Liu. This book was released on 2001-05-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Asian historical demography has lagged behind that of its European and American counterparts for some time. This volume serves to narrow the gap by drawing together material from scholars specializing in demography across the spectrum of Asian countries. The collection divides into four parts and contains nineteen chapters covering issues on comparative perspective, fertility, disease and mortality, and marriage and family. The geographic coverage of the chapters is also wide, extending from East Asia to South Asia, with specific emphasis on Japan, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, India, and Sri Lanka. Authors focus on a whole range of social groups, discussing how demographic issues affect and have affected both urban and rural dwellers from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. This volume, which is perhaps the first to bring together a number of in-depth, specialist studies on Asian population history, should prove a useful and engaging tool for both students and academics in the fields of demography, history, and Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Thomas Malthus in East Asia by : Yimang Zhou
Download or read book Thomas Malthus in East Asia written by Yimang Zhou. This book was released on 2023. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Asia is one of the most important origins of government-led population control in the mid-twentieth century. The states in Japan (1946-62), mainland China (1958-73), Korea (1951-1961), and Taiwan (1949-1964) developed different discourses and intervening policies of population control. In particular, Japan witnessed a population regime of human resource paradigm aimed at higher labor quality in the early 1960s, while the Chinese government launched a Malthusian paradigm to accelerate capital accumulation by slowing down population growth in the early 1970s. The states of Korea and Taiwan also established the Malthusian paradigm in the 1960s and transferred it to the human resource paradigm in the 1980s. This dissertation seeks to explain why population problems were constructed as an economic crisis and how the process shaped different population policies. I argue that the population problems were constructed as an economic crisis through the elite conflicts for different industrial strategies. Population discourses contribute to elite conflicts in three ways, namely, the mechanisms of visualization, neutralization, and politicization. The role of elite conflicts in shaping population problems further explains the rise of different population paradigms in East Asia.This study contributes to the existing literature by historizing the population policy processes and exploring how the population discourses and policies were "locked in" the elite politics prevailing in the industrialization of East Asia. It also associates the literature on population history with the affluent theories of developmental states. My conclusion reveals the isomorphism between the Malthusian paradigm of population policy and the accumulative model of the East Asian developmental states. It helps to understand the extremely low fertility rate prevailing the contemporary East Asian countries and indicates the broad policy impacts of the East Asian economic model.
