Japanese Paleolithic : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese Paleolithic

The is the period of human inhabitation in Japan that lasted from around 40,000 BC〔Hoshino Iseki Museum, Tochigi Pref.〕 to 14,000 BC,〔()("Ancient Jomon of Japan", Habu Jinko, Cambridge Press, 2004 )〕 which corresponds to the beginning of the Mesolithic Jōmon period. The 35,000 BC date is most generally accepted:〔 Any date of human presence before 35,000 BC is controversial, with artifacts supporting a pre-35,000 BC human presence on the archipelago being of questionable authenticity.〔(Prehistoric Archaeological Periods in Japan ), Charles T. Keally〕
The earliest human bones were discovered in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka. Radiocarbon dating has shown that the fossils date back to around 14,000–18,000 years ago.
==Ground stone and polished tools==

The Japanese Paleolithic is also unique in that it incorporates the earliest known ground stone tools and polished stone tools in the world,〔"Prehistoric Japan, New perspectives on insular East Asia", Keiji Imamura, University of Hawaii Press, Honolulu, ISBN 0-8248-1853-9〕 dated to around 30,000 BC, a technology typically associated with the beginning of the Neolithic, around 10,000 BC, in the rest of the world. It is not known why such tools were created so early in Japan, although the period is associated with a warmer climate worldwide (30,000–20,000 before present), and the islands may have particularly benefited from it.
Because of this originality, the Japanese Paleolithic period in Japan does not exactly match the traditional definition of Paleolithic based on stone technology (chipped stone tools). Japanese Paleolithic tool implements thus display Mesolithic and Neolithic traits as early as 30,000 BC.
