Japanese Paleolithic and the Scandal That Surrounds It
Channel: Japanese Culture
Date: 2024-03-17

This video is part of the series "Japanese History and Mythology", where I cover all episodes of Japan's history in great detail and tie them with mythological tales.

The Paleolithic era will be covered in 3 videos (although I'm working on an extra special one, I just haven't decided yet if I'm going to release it soon or wait until after I cover the Jōmon period as well): 

1st video (this one): Covers the DATE of the arrival of the first people in Japan
2nd video: Covers WHO were these people and HOW did they arrive in Japan
3rd video: Covers the Paleolithic Lifestyle (and it will be an immersive experience)
