Cranial and Dental Traits of the Nakazuma Jomon People from Ibaraki, Japan

MATSUMURA Hirofumi, ISHIDA Hajime, HASHIMOTO Hiroko

Bulletin of the National Science Museum. Series D, Anthropology ( National Science Museum ) 22 1 - 26 1996 [Refereed]

Metric and nonmetic traits data were obtained from the cranial and dental series of the Nakazuma Jomon people and compared with those of other Jomon samples. Significant differences were not found in most of the metric and nonmetric traits, suggesting that the cranial and dental morphology of the Nakazuma Jomon people are similar to those normally found in the other Jomon samples. Some of the differences observed in a few traits were considered to be caused by the genetic drift within this population unit probably consisting of close kinship groups.

DENTAL CHARACTERISTICS AFFINITIES OF THE PREHISTORIC TO MODERN JAPANESE WITH THE EAST ASIANS, AMERICAN NATIVES AND AUSTRALO-MELANESIANS

H MATSUMURA

ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENCE ( ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOC NIPPON ) 103 ( 3 ) 235 - 261 1995.07 [Refereed]

Dental characteristics of the prehistoric to modern Japanese were compared with those observed in the 23 Mongoloid samples including the American natives and Australo-Melanesians. The results of comparisons confirmed Turner's ''Sinodonty'' and ''Sundadonty'' classifications on the basis of the nonmetric trait pattern, with clarifying the metric features that most effectively discriminate between the two dental series. Taking both the metric and nonmetric traits affinities into consideration of the population relationships, it was concluded that the Aeneolithic Northern Kyushu Yayoi people and the subsequent mainland Japanese are closely related to the Urga Mongolians and Northern Chinese. This finding supports the hypothesis that the Yayoi immigrants originated from the Northeast Asian stock. On the other hand, the closest affinity of the Jomon natives was shown in the Neolithic Thai among the overseas samples compared, implying that the Jomon natives and such prehistoric Southeast Asians were derived from common ancestry who inhabited somewhere in East Asia.

Metrical Analysis of the Dentition of Perak Man from Gua Gunung Runtuh in Malaysia

MATSUMURA Hirofumi, ZURAINA Majid

Bulletin of the National Science Museum. Series D, Anthropology ( National Science Museum ) 21 1 - 10 1995 [Refereed]

Perak man is a nearly complete human skeleton dating from the early Holocene, which was excavated from Gua Gunung Runtuh, Malaysia. The metrical tooth traits of Perak man were statistically compared with those of early and modern samples from Australia, Southeast Asia, and Japan. The results showed a close affinity with the Australian samples in both the overall tooth size and proportion, suggesting dentally Australoid occupation of this region at the time of the early Holocene.

A Microevolutional History of the Japanese People from a Dental Characteristics Perspective

MATSUMURA Hirofumi

Anthropological science : journal of the Anthropological Society of Nippon ( The Anthropological Society of Nippon ) 102 ( 2 ) 93 - 118 1994

In an effort to demonstrate the microevolutional history of the Japanese populations from the viewpoint of dental morphology, metrical and nonmetrical crown traits were investigated for eight population samples from various periods in Japan, extending from the prehistoric Jomon period to the present. The results were compared with those found in other East Asian populations, to clarify the question of the ancestry of the Japanese populations. Several statistical analyses on metrical and nonmetrical traits demonstrated that the modern Japanese populations were descended from two major groups. One group is the indigenous prehistoric Jomon people, which was ancestral to the modern Ainu. The second group is the Aeneolithic Yayoi immigrants from the Asian Continent, which passed into the post-Yayoi Japanese. Relative tooth size and most nonmetrical traits are quite stable throughout the two microevolutionary lineages from the Jomon to the Ainu and from the Yayoi to the post-Yayoi Japanese.

Sexual Differences of Dental Crown Measurements in the Neolithic Jomon People

Matsumura H

Bulletin of the National Science Museum. Series D, Anthropology ( National Science Museum ) 19 1 - 12 1993 [Refereed]

Sexual differences of dental crown measurements were investigated for the Neolithic Jomon people in Japan. In the first step of analysis, the sexual differences were compared among five regional groups of the Jomon people, and the modern Japanese. PENROSE's distances between the sexes suggested that the sexual differences in all the Jomon groups were larger than that in the modern Japanese. In the next step of analysis, the sexual differences were examined for the pooled Jomon samples. Most of the male crown diameters were significantly larger than the female ones. The discriminant function analyses for sexing the Jomon samples provided several effective discriminant functions based on various combinations of the dental crown measurements with the accuracy of 75-77 percent. These results should be useful for investigators for sexing damaged skeletal remains excavated from Jomon sites.

Comparative Study of Crown Cusp Areas in the Upper and Lower Molars of African Apes

MATSUMURA Hirofumi, NAKATSUKASA Masato, ISHIDA Hidemi

Bulletin of the National Science Museum. Series D, Anthropology ( National Science Museum ) 18 1 - 15 1992 [Refereed]

Characteristics of the upper and lower molar series in terms of crown cusp areas were described for Pan and Gorilla, and then affinities between these African apes and living and fossil hominids were discussed. The conclusions are summarized as follows. 1) intraspecific comparisons indicate that the area variability within the distal cusps tends to be larger than those within the mesial cusps. 2) the relative cusp areas of M_1 display a marked interspecific variation among the apes and hominids compared. 3) the interspecific variation of M_1 can not be explained from allometric or phylogenetic factors, but may be affected by environmental ones such as diet. 4) as for Pan's M_1,the close resemblance to its M_2 implies that Pan's M_1 has a more primitive pattern of the relative cusp areas than other hominoids's M_1.
