Craniofacial variables for modern and prehistoric Japanese were subjected to multivariate analysis to test the relationships of the people of Japan with mainland Asian and Oceanic samples. The modern Japanese are tied to Koreans, Chinese, Southeast Asians, and the Yayoi rice agriculturalists who entered Japan in 300 B.C. Together they make up a Mainland-Asia cluster of related populations. The prehistoric Jomon foragers, the original inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago, are the direct ancestors of the modern Ainu, who made a recognizable contribution to the warrior class--the Samurai--of feudal Japan. Together, they are associated with Polynesians and Micronesians in a Jomon-Pacific cluster of related populations. Jomon-to-Ainu tooth size reduction proceeded at the same rate as that observable in the post-Pleistocene elsewhere in the Old World.
对现代和史前日本人的颅面变量进行了多变量分析，以测试日本人群与亚洲大陆和大洋洲样本之间的关系。现代日本人与韩国人、中国人、东南亚人以及公元前300年进入日本的弥生稻农有联系。他们共同构成了一个相关人群的亚洲大陆集群。史前绳纹时代的觅食者是日本群岛的原始居民，是现代阿伊努人的直系祖先，他们对封建日本的武士阶层——武士——做出了显著贡献。他们共同在一个绳纹-太平洋相关人群集群中与波利尼西亚人和密克罗尼西亚人相关联。绳纹时代到阿伊努人的牙齿尺寸减小速率与旧世界其他地方更新世后的观察速率相同。
