Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay shows the multiple sources of influence on the formation of Japanese anthropology since the late nineteenth century, when the genealogical relationship between the Japanese and the Ainu attracted national attention. After the first overseas fieldwork by Japanese anthropologists in 1895, the year of Japan’s victory in the war with China, cultural anthropology, or ethnology as it was then called, developed along with the expansion of the Japanese empire. With Japan’s defeat in World War II, anthropology underwent profound changes, but close examination reveals both changes and continuities that persist to this day. By demonstrating that the “colonial roots of anthropology” are not a Western monopoly, this essay offers a different perspective for rethinking anthropology than has been the case.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
