The Biological Implications of the Indigenous Races of Rosuto-Shima, with Notes on Gaijin: A Dissertation

by Uotani Hijiki of Chinan University

Introduction
As contact with the world beyond our island's borders increases, new zoological and biological are introduced through contact with information about species from the barbarian lands beyond. That the gaijin assume that our sentient races to be monsters speaks of how unusual it must be for human-kind to share our land and ways with other species, accepting them not as monsters, but as equals. It is no surprise that the barbarian invaders are backward thinking in this regard, but an investigation of this unique phenomenon, brought about by their disbelief, is, in fact, a worthwhile pursuit.

In this dissertation, I endeavor to shed light upon the intelligent races of Rosuto-Shima, as well as the gaijin, in an effort to see which of these races is most related to mankind.
