Dental variation of Ryukyu islanders: a comparative study among Ryukyu, Ainu, and other Asian populations.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

The presence or absence of 24 nonmetric dental traits was examined to investigate the inter- and intraregional variation of Ryukyu Islanders. We compared the dentition of the Kadena sample from the central district of Okinawa Island in the Ryukyu Island chain to those of samples from Nakijin from the northern district of the same Okinawa Island, Tokunoshima, another island of the Ryukyu Island chain, main-island...
