Given that the origin and physical character of the Japanese people can not be solved only by studying the skeletons of the ancient Japanese people but must also involve physical anthropological studies of the ancient skeletons of the neighboring countries at the same time, we have investigated ancient human skeletons from China since 1990. It is said that the Yayoi Culture was greatly influenced by the cultures in China and the Korean Peninsula, in particular the central and southern areas of China. In these areas, we have been investigating ancient human skeletons and have compared them to those of the Yayoi People in North Kyushu. Not many human bone have been excavated from these areas in China, but from the Shantung Peninsula a number of ancient human skeletons from 5,000-2,000 years ago have been excavated. Since 1989, we have measured human skeletons and teeth excavated from the Goson site and Fuka site. In 1992, we continued to measure them and investigate other features of the … More se bones, and also conducted a preliminary investigation in the Hsinchiang Wigle Dominion where a large number of ancient human skeletons have been excavated.On the Shantung Peninsula, artificial cranial deformation was found not only in "Daibunko skeleton" but also in "Oin" and tooth excavation was found in "Goson" and "Fuka" skeleton. The facial height was slightly high and the nasal root was flat, which are similar to the features of Yayoi people in North Kyushu, but the skeleton quality was slightly solider than that of the Yayoi people. Although tooth extraction, which was not observed in North Kyushu, existed in the crania excavated on the Shantung Peninsula, the physical features of the human skeletons from Shantung Peninsula were not similar to those of the Jomon people. These features were also seen in teeth were common to those of the North Kyushu Yayoi, the Shantung Peninsula may be among the most probable site of origin of the Yayoi people from overseas. However, the amount of human skeletons from the Yayoi period is extremely small and not all physical features are held in common, so we cannot determine that Shantung Peninsula is the origin site of the Yayoi people from overseas.We conducted a cluster analysis using measurements of the crania, and ancient Chinese skeletons constituted one cluster on its own while this cluster differed greatly from those of the Yayoi and Jomon people. This seems to suggest the possibility that physical differentiation between the Chinese and Japanese people occurred quite early.There are still a large number of ancient human skeletons from the Shantung Peninsula we have not investigated yet, so we will continue t clarity the features of ancient human skeletons at eachsite with the cooperation of collaboration researchers and compare them with ancient Japanese huma skeletons.

鉴于日本人的起源和身体特征不能仅仅通过研究古代日本人的骨骼来解决，还必须同时涉及邻国古代骨骼的身体人类学研究，我们从1990年开始调查中国古代人类骨骼。据说弥生文化受到中国和朝鲜半岛，特别是中国中部和南部地区文化的影响。在这些地区，我们一直在调查古代人类的骨骼，并将它们与北九州的弥生人的骨骼进行了比较。中国这些地区出土的人骨不多，但山东半岛出土了一批5000 - 2000年前的古人类骨骼。自1989年以来，我们测量了从戈孙遗址和富卡遗址出土的人类骨骼和牙齿。1992年，我们继续测量它们，并调查了 ...更多信息 在发现大量古人类骨骼的新疆威格自治领，也进行了初步的调查，在山东半岛，不仅在“大文库”骨骼中发现了人为的颅骨变形，而且在“大隐”骨骼中也发现了人为的颅骨变形，在“高松”和“富卡”骨骼中发现了牙齿的挖掘。面高略高，鼻根扁平，与北九州弥生人的特征相似，但骨骼质量比弥生人略坚固。虽然在山东半岛出土的颅骨中存在拔牙现象，但在北九州没有发现拔牙现象，但山东半岛出土的人类骨骼的物理特征与绳纹人的骨骼并不相似。这些特征在北九州弥生人的牙齿中也很常见，山东半岛可能是海外弥生人最有可能的起源地。然而，由于弥生时代的人类骨骼数量极少，而且并非所有的身体特征都具有共同性，因此无法确定山东半岛是海外弥生人的起源地。我们使用颅骨测量进行了聚类分析，中国古代骨骼单独构成一个聚类，而该聚类与弥生人和绳文人的聚类有很大差异。山东半岛尚有大量的古人类骨骼尚未调查，我们将在合作研究者的合作下，继续弄清各地点古人类骨骼的特征，并与日本古人类骨骼进行比较。少
