Botany
What is Proteus? How does Proteus live? The author, who was fascinated by this mysterious creature when he was young, vividly talks about its ecology from the point of view of Proteus. The 20-year-old Proteus researcher leads us to a dynamic life event of a small creature that lives secretly in forests, roads, and under the snow. It is a book in which you can enjoy the extended experience of knowledge, not to mention the sulfur Physarum polycephalum (fruiting body), Physarum rigidum (deformed body), and Dictyostelium (fruiting body). In addition to the definitive moment of the author's theme of "Recognizing the Self and Others of Proteus", the reader can see "new perspectives" in the world around us with easy-to-read text and overwhelmingly beautiful images taken by the author. Primate and anthropologist Juichi Yamagiwa Mana Mashii was born in Tokyo in 2001. He became interested in Proteus at the age of 5. From the age of 6, he began to study the breeding of wild Proteus at the age of 7. He received numerous awards such as the Japanese Student Science Award Prime Minister's Awards. At the age of 17, his paper was published for the first time in an international journal. Based on his field work experience and his research knowledge on "Recognizing the Self and Others of Proteus," he is actively working to spread the appeal of Proteus to the world. He is active in a wide range of activities such as lectures, workshops, and media appearances. He belongs to Keio University's Advanced Life Science Research Institute. He is a member of the Japan Proteus Study Group, the Japan Ecology Association, the Japan Evolutionary Association, and the Japan Mycology Association.
