| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We undertook anthropological research into the pastoralism of llamas and alpacas in the Peruvian Andes, the chacu or a kind of driving hunting of camelids, and the behavior of vicunas or wild camelids. We also undertook genetic research into the relations between wild and domestic camelids, and their hybridization. We then analyzed the domestication of camelids in the Andes, considering recent studies about their domestication and the development of nomadism in West Asia. We also undertook archaeological research into the temples and ancient trade routes, and analyzed the role of llamas in the formation of the Andean civilization. For comparison, we researched the pastoralism of yaks and their hybrid zomos, and the pastoralism of mithuns and their hybrid jatsams in the Himalayas. Finally, we systematized the variation of pastoralism and presented new theories.
