对从史前绳文时代到现代的220个标本进行了研究，研究了日本髌骨凹进的长期趋势。随着人类文明的进步，髌骨上外侧切迹的发生率和相对大小都有明显的下降。这表明，凹缺髌骨是由于缺乏骨，与股四头肌的发展。考古证据表明，史前绳纹人从最早到最后阶段改善和扩大了他们的生计经济。上述关于髌骨微凹成因的假说，对最早的绳文人骨骼的纤细与发达的肌肉相关联给出了令人满意的解释，绳文人在狭窄的环境中完全依靠各种形式的狩猎、捕鱼、采集和收集为生。
The secular trend in emargination of the Japanese patella was studied on a total of 220 specimens ranging from the prehistoric Jomon period to the present age. There was found a significant decrease both in the incidence and in the relative size of the supero-lateral notch of the patella with the progress of civilization. It was suggested that the emarginate patella was due to a deficiency of bone, in relation to the development of the quadriceps femoris muscle. Archaeological evidence indicated that the prehistoric Jomon people improved and broadened their subsistence economy from the Earliest to the Latest stage. The above hypothesis on the causation of emarginate patella gave a satisfactory explanation for the skeletal gracility in association with developed muscularity of the Earliest Jomon people who subsisted entirely on various forms of hunting, fishing, gathering and collecting under narrow circumstances.
