Who were the first to colonize Asia?
Asia is a large continent, encompassing Babylon, Malaysia, and Siberia. Furthermore, colonize is kind of an ambiguous term. The literal answer to your question would be "Africans when the first hominids walked into Sinai."
However, if you meant to ask what the first Empire in Eastern Asia was, then it would probably be one of the pre-Shang Chinese dynasties. History before 1600 BC is kind of sketchy.
How do humans modify the environment in southeast Asia?
The same way "humans" modify the environment in Europe, North America, South America, or anyplace else; with a bulldozer (Engineer equipment).
During the Vietnam War, ROME PLOWS (bulldozers) with angled blades manned by US Army Engineers drove them in circles (each Rome Plow had a numbered sign on it, like a race car) in the jungles, until the jungle got smaller and smaller, then totally disappeared. The whole former forest (or jungle) was no higher than your waist.
Rome Plows had replaced Agent Orange as a means of destroying forests (jungles).

The Domino referred to in the title was Viet Nam. The book purports to be a history of the war in Viet Nam and its aftermath. The term "Domino" (as in The Domino Theory) was used in the argument that if there was no intervention to stop the communist movement in Southeast Asia, all of the countries in that region would eventually fall like "dominos" to the communists. The authors obviously promote their own viewpoint with which readers may or may not agree. Hope that helps.
Are most of the countries of southwest Asia landlocked?
If you consider Afghanistan or Armenia part of the Middle East, those would be be your answers. Otherwise, every Middle Eastern country has an outlet to the ocean. Some like Jordan and Iraq have a very small coastline while others like Saudi Arabia have miles of coast.

Where can you find information about 18th century sea routes and sailing times?
OK, be prepared to do alot of research.
1. check the newspapers of the time they will have info about what ships are leaving and comming in and most importantly WHERE they have come from.ie; " Today the Vanilla arrived from England by way of America, south America." as you can see these are short. one line nuggets of info, but if you are dilligent you can get the "by way of's" together and form a mental cruse from poit A to B. Times may not be included as ships will come and go with the tides.
2. next you find navigational charts. modern one are ok as long as they have wind directions, and sea currents. KNOW the time of year as well, remember if the north Atlantic is "warm" in July, cape horn is miserable.
3. ships tend to wreck in the same places during good weather so in finding sites of 18th century ship wrecks one can see or pick out a probable route.
4. remember this stuff only applies to ships and routes during PEACE. warships are out completely as printed information from the day is usuially false. During war civillian ships were targets of privateers. so they might choose a diffrent or unusuial way from A to B. BUT we are creatures of habit and the sea is dangerious so us sailors stick to KNOWN, SAFE,& FAST routes.
good luck
Why do Chinese and Japanese people look alike?
Japanese people are actually Chinese people.
[2011-01-16]
Japanese people now claim that on the genetic level, the majority (40%-50%) of them belong to Haplogroup D2 (Y-DNA), and so they are a "rather homogenous group of people". Because Haplogroup D2 (Y-DNA) is also the marker of the indigenous Ainu people, they are "directly descended from the very first peoples who inhabited the land" and so they have "a legitimate claim to the land".
Haplogroup D2 (Y-DNA) is a child of Haplogroup DE (Y-DNA), which in turn is also the parent of Haplogroup E (Y-DNA). Haplogroup E (Y-DNA) occurs in very high frequencies in sub-Saharan Africa. In other words, it can be said that the Japanese people are more related to Tibetans, Andanamese, sub-Saharan Africans (in that order), rather than to the Chinese people, who are majority Haplogroup O (Y-DNA). Southern Chinese have the highest incidences of Haplogroup O (Y-DNA). The Chinese people are thus more related to the Caucasians of Haplogroup R1 (Y-DNA), via their common ancestor Haplogroup MNOPS (Y-DNA).
The perception that Chinese and Japanese people look similar may be due to the similar latitude and/or environments in which they evolve in the more recent past.
[2011-02-13]
The Japanese further claim that they are majority Haplogroup D4 (mtDNA) via the maternal line.
Haplogroup D4 (mtDNA) is most frequently found among Koreans, and it is claimed that Haplogroup D4 (mtDNA) is a major contributor to Japanese longevity. That said, the parent Haplogroup D (mtDNA) can be found in high frequencies in the peoples of Central Asia.
The Japanese also claim Haplogroups (mtDNA) B and F to be present in lower frequencies in their maternal lines, but these do not contribute to Japanese longevity.
Haplogroups (mtDNA) B and F are more frequently found in Southern Chinese and Southeast Asian populations. Compared to Haplogroup D (mtDNA), Haplogroups (mtDNA) B and F are much more closely related to Haplogroup H (mtDNA), which is frequently found among Caucasians, via their common ancestor Haplogroup R (mtDNA).
