| Research Abstract |
It is the purpose of the present study to objectively determine the limits of among-group variation in each cranial and limb bone measurement as well as the regularity, i.e., the directions, extents, and limits of among-group covariations between the measurements in human populations of the Neolithic and the succeeding periods.
As a result, about 350 references on cranial and limb bone measurements of the Jomon period to the present for the Japanese archipelago and about 300 references of the similar ages for the other regions in the world were collected. Multivariate analyses of the data collected showed that there are tendencies for neurocranial height to be lower and for the femoral shaft to be thicker in more ancient populations, at least in the Japanese archipelago.
