  • Development of preauricular grooves after childbirth in present-day females

    Open AccessKenshin Nakamura, Osamu Kondo et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2026

    Development of the preauricular groove has long been used as an osteological indicator of pregnancy and childbirth despite inconsistent evidence. To retrospectively evaluate the development of preauricular groove, we measured the preauricular groove volume based on pelvic computed tomography (CT) images before and after childbirth and examined its relationship to obstetric history including gravidity, parity, and the number of miscarriages. Longi…

  • New hominoid mandible from the early Late Miocene Irrawaddy Formation in Tebingan area, central Myanmar

    Open AccessMasanaru Takai, Khin Nyo et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2021Referências: 1

    A new medium-sized hominoid mandibular fossil was discovered at an early Late Miocene site, Tebingan area, south of Magway city, central Myanmar. The specimen is a left adult mandibular corpus preserving strongly worn M2 and M3, fragmentary roots of P4 and M1, alveoli of canine and P3, and the lower half of the mandibular symphysis. In Southeast Asia, two Late Miocene medium-sized hominoids have been discovered so far: Lufengpithecus from the Yun…

  • D Digital reconstruction, preliminary morphometric analysis, and facial approximation of Shiraho 4 skull

    Open AccessReiko T Kono, Kenji Okazaki et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2018Citada por: 1Referências: 24

    石垣島・白保竿根田原洞穴遺跡からは保存のよい4個体を含めて20個体近い更新世人骨が出土している。このうち,現地調査最終盤に出土し,保存状況も最良の白保4号個体の頭骨について,実物の骨をできるだけ接合したのちに,X線CT撮影により3次元形状データを取得してデジタル形状データとして全体を復元した。その結果,鼻根部の強い陥凹や,顔高が低く額が幅広であるなどの特徴が明らかになった。さらに実物の頭骨で直接測った計測値とデジタル復元結果を利用して求めた計測値を合わせて,予備的な形態解析を実施したところ,白保4号頭蓋の形態は,日本列島の旧石器時代人や縄文時代人,そして中国南部やベトナムなど琉球列島よりもさらに南方系の先史時代の人々に近いことが示唆された。デジタル復元した頭骨をもとにして生前の顔貌の復元を試みたので,その経過と復元結果についても報告する

  • A mandible from the Middle Pleistocene Hexian site and its significance in relation to the variability of Asian Homo erectus

    Open AccessW Liu, María Martinón‐torre et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2017Citada por: 25Referências: 51

    Mandibular and dental features indicate that the Hexian mandible and teeth differ from northern Chinese H. erectus and European Middle Pleistocene hominins, but show some affinities with the Early Pleistocene specimens from Africa (Homo ergaster) and Java (H. erectus), as well as the Middle-Late Pleistocene mandible from Penghu, Taiwan. Compared to contemporaneous continental Asian hominin populations, the Hexian fossils may represent the surviva…

  • Initial and Early Jomon human skeletal remains from Iwashita Doketsu, Sasebo, Nagasaki prefecture, Japan

    Open AccessYousuke Kaifu, Kazuhiro Sakaue et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2017Citada por: 1Referências: 12

    長崎県佐世保市に所在する岩下洞穴からは,1960年代の発掘調査で大量の縄文早期人骨と,若干の縄文前期に属する人骨が出土し,1968年にその基礎情報を記した報告書が刊行された。しかしその後,学界で縄文早期人への関心が高まったにも関わらず,岩下洞穴の人骨資料についてその価値に見合った議論がなされてきたとは言い難い。今回,この人骨コレクションの再整理・修復を行い,新たに個体同定や年齢・性別を見直した。正確な数は特定できないが,本遺跡から出土した縄文早期人骨は約30個体,前期人骨は2個体で,国内有数の人類遺跡であることが再確認された。再整理の結果,以下を含む興味深い事項が浮かび上がってきた:1岩下洞穴の縄文早期人が全国の早期人と共通の華奢な骨格形態特徴を持つという先行知見が追認された;2早期の成人個体群(19体)は,確認できる範囲では若い成人のみで(8体),明らかな熟~老年個体が含まれない;3他地域の早期人骨と同様に激しい咬耗が認められたが,これらは咬耗の速度が非常に速いことの結果であり,年齢推…

  • Early Jomon and Yayoi human skeletal remains from Shimomotoyama Rock Shelter, Sasebo, Nagasaki prefecture, Japan

    Open AccessYousuke Kaifu, Kazuhiro Sakaue et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2017Referências: 4

    長崎県佐世保市に所在する下本山岩陰遺跡から,1970年に麻生優らによって発掘された人骨を整理したので報告する。この資料中には,縄文時代前期に属する比較的保存のよい2体と,弥生時代に属する合葬された男女2体,その他の人骨が確認された。縄文時代前期人骨について,少なくともほぼ完全な1体には縄文時代人的な形態特徴が色濃くみられた。弥生時代人骨は,1個体に高顔傾向が認められる点に留意しなければならないが,全体的に北部九州弥生時代人より縄文時代人と類似する。この形態特徴と遺跡の地理的位置の両面から,本人骨は,一般に縄文時代人の系譜を継ぐとみなされている,いわゆる西北九州タイプの弥生人集団(在来系の弥生人集団)に含めることができるだろう。これらの人骨にみられた高頻度の骨折,同地域内での咬耗ならびに口腔衛生状態の変化についても合わせて報告する

    Dental remains of Homo floresiensis excavated during 2002–2004 at Liang Bua, Flores, Indonesia, consist of one partial maxillary dentition, two nearly complete mandibular dentitions, and four isolated teeth. We present here morphological descriptions of all these specimens and report aspects of their dentition, occlusion, and oral health condition. This dental assemblage represents probably five but possibly four or six individuals. These differe…

  • Endocranial proportions and postorbital morphology of the Minatogawa I and IV Late Pleistocene Homo sapiens crania from Okinawa Island, Japan

    Open AccessDaisuke Kubo, Reiko T Kono et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2012Citada por: 2Referências: 26

    The purpose of this paper is to clarify the endocranial and postorbital morphologies of the terminal Pleistocene Minatogawa people, and obtain insights into their evolutionary background and genealogical relationships. The Minatogawa I and IV crania were compared with 83 Homo sapiens specimens (including 19 prehistoric Jomon). Metric comparative analyses and observational evaluations revealed that the two Minatogawa endocrania are characterized b…

  • Late Pleistocene modern human mandibles from the Minatogawa Fissure site, Okinawa, Japan

    The Late Pleistocene modern human skeletal remains from the Minatogawa Fissure site, Okinawa, are important because of their exceptional completeness. This paper presents the first detailed morphological description of the five mandibular specimens from Minatogawa, which probably belong to two male and two female individuals (two of the five specimens likely belong to the same male individual). Intensive metric and non-metric comparisons with the…

  • Mandibular tooth root size in modern Japanese, prehistoric Jomon, and Late Pleistocene Minatogawa human fossils

    Open AccessGen Suwa, Hitoshi Fukase et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2011Citada por: 12Referências: 21

    Although dental size and morphology have contributed to population history studies in Japan, little attention has been paid to root size and dimensions. We report here computer tomography (CT)-based metrics of mandibular tooth roots in modern Japanese, Holocene Jomon, and Late Pleistocene Minatogawa human fossils (15000–20000 BP). Our results confirmed that, in terms of both mesiodistal cervical diameters and root lengths, the Jomon is overall sm…

  • Endocranial restoration and volume estimation of the Minatogawa IV cranium using micro-CT and 3D printer systems

    Open AccessDaisuke Kubo, Reiko T KonoARTICLEAnthropological Science2011Citada por: 3Referências: 8

    The Minatogawa IV cranium is one of three well-preserved Late Pleistocene Homo sapiens crania from the Minatogawa fissure site, Okinawa Island. This cranium is more damaged than Minatogawa I and exhibits some clear post-mortem distortion. We reconstructed the endocranium of this specimen after correcting the distortion and breakage by combining digital and manual restoration procedures, and established a reliable estimate for its endocranial volu…

  • A micro-CT based study of the endocranial morphology of the Minatogawa I cranium

    Open AccessDaisuke Kubo, Reiko T Kono et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2010Citada por: 13Referências: 16

    The Late Pleistocene fossil human remains (individuals I–IV) of Minatogawa, Okinawa Island are important in addressing the population history of the Japanese archipelago and in understanding evolution of Homo sapiens in eastern Asia. This study is the first on Minatogawa I's endocranial morphology, based on micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). We digitally reconstructed the Minatogawa I endocast, and created its physical model using a three-dime…

  • Paleobiological Implications of the Ardipithecus ramidus Dentition

    Open AccessGen Suwa, Reiko T Kono et al.ARTICLEScience2009

    The Middle Awash Ardipithecus ramidus sample comprises over 145 teeth, including associated maxillary and mandibular sets. These help reveal the earliest stages of human evolution. Ar. ramidus lacks the postcanine megadontia of Australopithecus . Its molars have thinner enamel and are functionally less durable than those of Australopithecus but lack the derived Pan pattern of thin occlusal enamel associated with ripe-fruit frugivory. The Ar. rami…

  • Accuracy and precision of CT-based endocranial capacity estimations

    Open AccessDaisuke Kubo, Reiko T Kono et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2008Citada por: 12Referências: 1

    An increasing number of studies determine endocranial capacity (ECC) digitally using serial computed tomographic (CT) scan data. However, the multiple causes of errors inherent in such measurements and the resulting degree of accuracy have not yet been fully examined. In the present study, five observers estimated the ECCs of two modern human crania by segmentation of CT data (voxel size 0.380 mm) and by means of the conventional millet seed meth…
