The Kuroshio

By Lutz Roewer

The quest for knowledge can lead to conflict with scientific mindsets and political interests, as the geneticist and anthropologist Wolfgang Heinrich discovers. Quitting his position at a prestigious institute in Berlin, he moves to a university in Tokyo, following an invitation from his former mentor Takeshi Moto, who however remains mysteriously elusive. Professor Heinrich works with a young team on the Nippon Genome Project, but privately is fascinated by the fate of the Jomon, the indigenous people of Japan. The journey he sets out on - researching ancient migration - increasingly resembles a dark and treacherous ocean current. Along the way he meets other uprooted individuals adapting, with varying degrees of success, to our swiftly changing times.
