| Research Abstract |
This research traces the history of anthropological sciences (physical anthropology, ethnology and folklore)in Japan after 1945, when Japan lost all colonies in East Asia, and considers continuity and discontinuity of these sciences across the defeat. Specially, it takes up (1) the research on Tsushima by Council of Nine Learned Societies (1950-51) and (2) the research on mixed-blood children by physical anthropologists and the research on environmental adaptability by physiologists. It became clear that these researches were affected by the Asia-Pacific War and the following cold war structure in the East Asia.
