Outline of Final Research Achievements

We estimated hominid life histories by using hominid fossil data and life-table data of apes and humans. We showed that the lifespans and interbirth intervals of australopithecines, early Homo, and Neanderthals were significantly shorter than those of extant great apes. Moreover, using a mathematical model and fossil data, we showed that Neanderthals frequently suffered severe traumatic injuries, which inhibited their cultural evolution. We also studied the effect of language ability on hominid culture. Furthermore, we investigated the evolution of hominid social structure, social interaction, and mating strategy by using mathematical models. We also studied why humans migrate and settle by analyzing modern Japanese data. From various studies above, we precisely discussed biological features of hominids.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ヒトの進化プロセスを知ることは、我々自身のアイデンティティのためにも不可欠である。本研究によって、類人猿に比べて短いヒトの出産間隔の起源が、少なくとも猿人段階までさかのぼることが示された。このことは、当時の社会にも他者の子育てを手伝うような行動が存在していたことを意味する。これは高い知性によって我々の高い社会性がもたらされたという見方に対する決定的な反証であり、我々ヒトがどういう生き物なのかを考えるうえで学術的に極めて重要な結果である。またこの研究成果は、今後のヒト社会をいかにして持続的に発展させていくべきかを考えるうえで社会的に大きな意義を持つ。
