한국인 머리뼈의 비계측적 특징

Abstract

Thirty-nine non-metric cranial traits of the Korean skulls were investigated and compared with those of eighteen human populations. The Korean have the highest incidence of the accessory infraorbital foramen(18％) of all populations compared. The sutural infraorbital foramen, posterior ethmoidal foramen absent, ear exotosis, temporal ossicle and bregmatic bone were not observed in the Korean samples. The distance analyses (MMD; mean value of divergence) revealed that the Korean are more closely related to the population in Kazach and Mongol than to the population in China and Japan.
