Together, the contributors explore the dramatic transformation of smell, taste, sight, hearing, balance, mechanoreception, magnetoreception, and electroreception that occurred as lineages of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals returned to aquatic environments. Each chapter integrates data from fields including sensory physiology, anatomy, paleontology, and neurobiology. A one-stop source for information on the sense organs of secondarily aquatic tetrapods, Sensory Evolution on the Threshold sheds new light on both the evolution of aquatic vertebrates and the sensory biology of their astonishing transition. 606 $aAquatic animals$xSense organs 606 $aAquatic animals$xAdaptation 606 $aSense organs$xEvolution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAquatic animals$xSense organs. 615 0$aAquatic animals$xAdaptation. 615 0$aSense organs$xEvolution. 676 $a591.4 701 $aThewissen$b J.

The earliest and most frequent of these encounters were with their Southeast Asian neighbors, specifically the Malayans. But by the midimperial times of the seventh through seventeenth centuries C.E., exposure to peoples from Africa, chiefly slaves arriving from the area of modern Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania, gradually displaced the original Asian "blacks" in Chinese consciousness. In The Blacks of Premodern China, Don J. Wyatt presents the previously unexamined story of the earliest Chinese encounters with this succession of peoples they have historically regarded as black.A series of maritime expeditions along the East African coastline during the early fifteenth century is by far the best known and most documented episode in the story of China's premodern interaction with African blacks. Just as their Western contemporaries had, the Chinese aboard the ships that made landfall in Africa encountered peoples whom they frequently classified as savages. Yet their perceptions of the blacks they met there differed markedly from those of earlier observers at home in that there was little choice but to regard the peoples encountered as free.The premodern saga of dealings between Chinese and blacks concludes with the arrival in China of Portuguese and Spanish traders and Italian clerics with their black slaves in tow. In Chinese writings of the time, the presence of the slaves of the Europeans becomes known only through sketchy mentions of black bondservants. Nevertheless, Wyatt argues that the story of these late premodern blacks, laboring anonymously in China under their European masters, is but a more familiar extension of the previously untold story of their ancestors who toiled in Chinese servitude perhaps in excess of a millennium earlier. 410 0$aEncounters with Asia. 606 $aAfricans$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aBlack people$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSlavery$zChina$zGuangzhou$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aAfrica$xRelations$zChina 607 $aChina$xRace relations 607 $aChina$xRelations$zAfrica 607 $aGuangzhou (China)$xRace relations 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aLinguistics. 610 $aMiddle Eastern Studies. 615 0$aAfricans$xHistory 615 0$aBlack people$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 676 $a305.89605109 700 $aWyatt$b Don J$01519682 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779144303321 996 $aThe Blacks of premodern China$93757939 997 $aUNINA
