The physical condition of prehistoric man in New Zealand is briefly surveyed. These were tall, robust Polynesian people living an active existence, and having an adequate diet. The mean life span of about 30 years for adults was short only by modern Western standards. A number of skeletal features, notably aspects of skull and long bone form, set them apart from other races of mankind.
对新西兰史前人类的身体状况进行了简要概述。他们是身材高大、体格健壮的波利尼西亚人，过着积极活跃的生活，饮食充足。按照现代西方标准，成年人约30岁的平均寿命较短。一些骨骼特征，尤其是头骨和长骨形态方面，使他们有别于人类的其他种族。
