I am extremely interested in the history of Japan.  Do you know anything about Japan? Have you ever been there or want to visit in the future?
I know the first people were more than likely from prehistoric times.
Cool. I am also interested in prehistory.  Would you say they were first there in the Paleolithic, Mesozoic, or neolithic era?  Where did they come from before they were in Japan?
Paleolithic
The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic (), also called the Old Stone Age, is a period in human prehistory distinguished by the original development of stone tools that covers  99% of human technological prehistory. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins  3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene  11,650 cal BP.
The Paleolithic Age is followed in Europe by the Mesolithic Age, although the date of the transition varies geographically by several thousand years.

If you are not losing work, you know you are not pushing things far enough. I like working on a tightrope and in areas I don't know anything about.
