Before the Jomon Period, Japan was still connected to the Asian Mainland as a narrow peninsula. The warming that followed the end of the Ice Age, made Japan to drift off away from Asia and become its own archipelago. After our journey to the Jomon Era, we found out that the thousands of small islands and the four main islands that make up Japan are actually tops of mountains. This made it difficult for the neolithic people to live on them.
The geography of Japan has really shaped the way the people lived. With limited farming space, natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes, isolation, and few natural resources, the people had to overcome many adversities. Our findings of our research on how this happened will be reviewed in the next page, technology.
