Summary of audience discussion: Historical records suggest ve- 

 nereal syphilis was introduced into Japan from China in 1512, a 

 record consistent with the absence of treponemal lesions in the 

 series reported here from Japan's Jomon period. Tuberculosis is not 

 identifiable in these series until after the Jomon period either. The 

 Jomon people had no or few domestic animals.
