Cultural innovations were boosted under the pressure of epidemic outbreaks in European History
Outbreaks of epidemics are human ecological disasters and have caused huge losses of human life and social disturbances in human history. But their impact on human culture has never been systematically and quantitatively studied. This study hypothesizes that such gigantic human ecological pressure would have created a great need for cultural innovations. By quantitatively examining and modeling the process using the time-series of cultural innova…

Demographic Crises of Different Climate Phases in Preindustrial Northern Hemisphere
Climate change, population pressure, and wars in European history
Recent studies show that wars were more prevalent during colder periods in human history. Nevertheless, the temporal consistency of the climate-war correlation in Europe over extended period has rarely been examined systematically. In this study, we extended the European violent conflict record in the Conflict Catalog [Brecke 1999. “Violent conflicts 1400 A.D. to the present in different regions of the world.” Paper presented at the 1999 Meeting …
Western wind meets eastern soil
China’s industrialization after the 1840s has been mainly regarded as a reaction to external shocks from Western countries. However, Rostow’s stages of growth theory states that industrialization should be achieved by adequate groundwork of agrarian economy. In this context, this study aims to quantitatively analyze China’s industrialization from 1874 to 1927 by comparing the external influences of foreign factors (including trade and finance) an…

The ‘Little Ice Age’ recorded by sediment chemistry in Lake Erhai, southwest China
On the basis of concentrations of 21 major and minor elements in a well-dated sediment core from the deepwater part of Lake Erhai, principal component analysis (PCA) reveals three main factors controlling the inorganic chemical composition of lake sediments. These are physical erosion in the watershed (Component 1), autochthonous calcite precipitation in lake water (Component 2) and early diagenesis in sediments (Component 3). Variations of facto…
Tectonically Controlled Fluvial Landforms on the Yaluzangbu River and Their Implications for the Evolution of the River
The Yaluzangbu River, the largest river on the Tibetan Plateau, becomes the Brahmaputra when it flows into India. New fieldwork and map analysis show that the fluvial landforms and landform evolution of the river are controlled by the tectonic structures of the southern plateau. The history of the Yaluzangbu River since the Eocene is established here based on geomorphological and tectonic studies. It includes the formation of the main course alon…
