 Subject: Question about Ecology of Jomon Japan
Author: Carol Duchesneau

I was just wondering, what types of animals inhabited Japan during the stoneage of Japan? Also what the climate and geography would have been like and what types of plants grew then? Also for bonus, Jomon burials, what can be told of them and the Jomon cultural practices so far?
