SUBJECT #1 - ANCIENT HUMAN DISEASES: In human history, the disease is not just a subject of medical research. Much of human health and disease is determined by the environment and socio-economic conditions. For the past decades, I have conducted scientific research on the history of diseases in East Asia using medical research techniques.
SUBJECT #2 - THE ANIMALS: The historical analysis of health and disease of domesticated animals is very important in understanding human pathology.To reveal how livestock diseases have affected human health in history, I have conducted works on domesticated animals in East Asia through historical, genetic, and zooarchaeological research
SUBJECT #3 - THE PLANTS: In human history, the beginning of agriculture and human diseases are much more closely related than expected. As crop cultivation began, many changes in society gave convenience and abundance compared to the era of making a living by hunting. However, agriculture also had a great influence on the history of human diseases due to poor crops and changes in cultivated crops. In this sense, the study of agriculture in East Asia and the identification of related disease history are very important.
SUBJECT #4 - THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THIS PROJECT: After examining the historical changes in the diseases of human and animals, and crop ecology, the relationship between them would be revealed to obtain answers to the following several questions. How did human diseases link with changes in the surrounding environment? Was human disease related to the spread of animal diseases? How did the success or failure of crop production affect human diseases and lives?
