测量了来自密克罗尼西亚的两个种群的牙齿大小，并与其他太平洋种群进行了比较。研究对象是1995年和1996年接受调查的基里巴斯和帕劳的高中生。无论男女，帕劳人的近远端直径普遍大于基里巴斯人，而基里巴斯人的颊舌径略大于帕劳人。根据这些参数计算了10个太平洋种群间的马哈拉诺比斯距离。距离在多维尺度下的二维表达显示，帕劳和基里巴斯在第一个轴的中心位置靠近萨摩亚，而斐济和内格里托斯在轴的两端。这两个密克罗尼西亚人在第二个轴线上分开了。聚类分析的结果表明，基里巴斯属于斐济组，而帕劳与萨摩亚和现代菲律宾属于一组。
Tooth size of two populations from Micronesia was measured and compared with other Pacific populations. Subjects were high school students of Kiribati and Palau, surveyed in 1995 and 1996. Mesiodistal diameters were generally larger in Palau than in Kiribati in both sexes, while buccolingual diameters of Kiribati were slightly larger than those of Palau. Mahalanobis' distances were computed on the basis of these parameters among 10 Pacific populations. Two dimensional expression of the distances in multi-dimensional scaling showed that Palau and Kiribati were plotted in the center of the first axis closely to Samoa, while Fiji and Negritos were plotted on both ends of the axis. The two Micronesians were separated on the second axis. The results of cluster analysis revealed that Kiribati was classified into Fiji group, while Palau was grouped with Samoa and modern Philippines.
