根据Yamaguchi（1973）的方法，从琉球群岛的奄美岛、冲绳岛和咲岛岛的颅骨上进行了一系列面部平面度测量。这些测量结果相互比较，并与其他日本岛屿、东北亚岛屿和大陆以及欧洲的颅系列测量结果进行比较。在三个琉球园样本中，Sakishima的面部骨骼最不平坦。然而，琉球人的脸型总体上要比阿伊努人平坦得多。琉球人面部的平坦程度可与所谓的“北方蒙古人种”相媲美。除了先前的颅部非度量研究（Dodo等人，1998年），目前的面部平坦度研究也没有给出阿伊努人和琉球人之间有密切亲缘关系的任何迹象。
Following the method of Yamaguchi (1973), a series of facial flatness measurements were taken from crania from the islands of Amami, Okinawa and Sakishima of the Ryukyu Islands. These measurements were compared with each other and with measurements of cranial series from other Japanese Islands, insular and continental Northeast Asia and Europe. Among the three Ryukyuan samples, the facial skeletons of Sakishima are least flattened. Nevertheless, the Ryukyuans as a whole show far flatter faces than Ainu. The extent of Ryukyuan facial flatness is comparable to that of the so-called "Northern Mongoloid". In addition to the previous cranial nonmetric study (Dodo and others, 1998), the present study of facial flatness also does not give any indication of a close affinity between the Ainu and Ryukyuans.
