1 Different Body

Definition

Human body is referring the physical appearance or structure of every human. Based on Wikipedia,
the human body is the entire structure of a human being. It is composed of many different types of
cells that together create tissues and subsequently organ systems. From the explanation above, the
human body composed by its different cells which unite creating organ system. The cells of every
human are different, it can be caused by many aspects, such as Descendant (Hormonal), or different
region climate. Descendants means that the hormonal of human is caused by their ancestors. Not
only that, the human skin adapts to the climate of the environment or region where each person
lives which has occurred for a long time. take for example, The African sun is very hot, so it is no
wonder to see Africans having a dark and lovely skin because the skin adapts to the hot
environment they are in but in japan, they have a lighter skin because they live in cooler region
than that of Africa. Likewise for Indonesian, They have average skin means not too dark and not
too light, it’s because they live in tropical country. this logically or scientifically mean that their
skin adapts to the cool environment hence they are lighter in complexion. Those aspects are mainly
cause the physical different for every region which can make every people of different country has
the differences and exactly has body characteristic in it.

a) Japan Body

the Japanese are Mongols, that is, they are distinguished by a yellowish skin, straight black
hair, scanty beard, almost total absence of hair on the arms, legs, and chest, brandish
prominent cheek-bones, and more or less obliquely set eyes. These, with the other
characteristics to be mentioned presently, are common both to the more slenderly built,
oval-faced aristocracy, and to pudding-faced Gombei, the "Hodge" of Japanese Arcadia.
Compared with people of European race, the average Japanese has a long body and short
legs, a large skull with a tendency to prognathism (projecting jaws), a flat nose, coarse hair,
scanty eye-lashes, puffy eyelids, a sallow complexion, and a low stature. The average
stature of Japanese men is about the same as the average stature of European women. The
women are proportionately smaller. The lower classes are mostly strong, with well-
developed arms, legs, and chests. The upper classes are too often weakly.

b) The above description will perhaps not be considered flattering. But it is not ours; it is the
doctors. Then, too, ideals of beauty differ from land to land. We Anglo-Saxons consider
ourselves a handsome race. But what are we still, in the eyes of the majority of the Japanese
people, but a set of big, red, hairy barbarians with green eyes?

c) The Japanese women are, on the whole, better-looking than the men, and have, besides,
pretty manners and charming voices.[1] Village beauties are rare, most girls of the lower
class with any pretentions to good looks being, as it would seem, sent out to service at tea-
houses in the towns, or else early obtaining husbands. Japanese children, with their dainty
little ways and old-fashioned appearance, always insinuate themselves into the affections
of foreign visitors. Old and young alike are remarkable for quietness of demeanour. The
gesticulations of a southern European fill them with amazement, not to say contempt, and
fidgeting of every kind is foreign to their nature.

d) The Japanese age earlier than we do. It has also been asserted that they are less long-lived;
but this is doubtful. If statistics may be trusted, the number of octogenarians,
nonagenarians, and even centenarians is fairly high. In Japan, as in other countries, the
number of very old women considerably exceeds that of the very old men. The diseases
which make most havoc are consumption, disease of the digestive organs, and the peculiar
affection called kakke, of which an account will be found in a separate article. The Japanese
have less highly strung nerves than we Europeans, Hence they endure pain more calmly,
and meet death with comparative indifference.[2]
