This book presents an investigation of language contact, focusing on Northwestern China. It breaks down the barrier between human sciences and natural sciences in order to reconsider the diversity of languages on the basis of the latest research findings from genetics, linguistics, and other domains, offering valuable insights into when and how the divergence of languages and genes began and language and gene admixture and replacement occurred. The book focuses on language evolution between the border of Gansu and Qinghai Province in China, but the research doesn’t neglect the area beyond China’s northern borders. Manchu, a dying language belonging to the Tungusic group, is also studied to enhance our understanding of language replacement. This work is the result of a four-year collaboration between teams of geneticists and linguists in France and China.
近年最受矚目之考古發現 揭開南島語族起源與擴散之關鍵 重寫馬祖列島與台灣早期發展史 馬祖列島原是考古學的處女地,作者陳仲玉教授從馬祖列島中有居民的四鄉五島開始田野普查,於2004至2007三年間,發掘熾坪隴史前遺址及蔡園裡歷史時期遺址,將馬祖列島的歷史推到距今6000年前。2011至2015年,又發掘亮島史前遺址群,再將該列島的歷史推早到距今8300年,並出土幾乎完整的兩具遺骸(男女各一),命名為「亮島人1號」與「亮島人2號」。以其小骨頭進行人種遺傳學DNA萃取與比對,加上顱骨、牙齒等人種形態學及墓葬風俗文化研究,證實兩「亮島人」與台灣某些原住民有母系血緣關係。由於南島語族的原居地是在東亞大陸東南方,如福建、廣東一帶,而馬祖列島的史前文化,屬於海洋文化,有其特質,故命名為「亮島文化」。

With the impending demise of modernist planning, the footprints and corpses of failed modernist visions are littered everywhere. A vacuum of implementable urban theories has occurred at the time when unprecedented expansion and restructuring of cities in rapidly developing economies are taking place. In this collection of essays, William S W Lim zeroes in on the peculiarities and dynamics of present Asian urban and architectural conditions in order to challenge and transcend the socio-ecological forms and political influences generated by the current system of global capitalism.Part I of this book consists of the main essay, which attempts to establish baselines for an effective formulation ...
