| Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the divisions between humans and animals as well as the connection between them in Nepal's ethno-caste groups.
In the Chepangs, tigers and deer are excluded as others. At the same time, they are connected humans as existences that had power to live. In the Gurungs, stick insects are considered as ancestral spirits. In Parbat Hindus, mantises are considered as ill omens that caused human's death. In the Newars, a suffix for expressing small existence like insects are also used for speaking ill of third person. In the Tharus, intermediates that bring wild animals to the villages are supposed to be fierce existences. Such animal cognitions show the transformation of human's exclusion of animals as well as connection between animals and humans.
