ABSTRACT: The Jomon people were Neolithic hunter gatherers that inhabited the Japanese archipelago from 12000 BP to 2300 BP. Because the origin of the Jomonese has been a mystery for some time, we examine pervious studies and compare dental traits between the Jomonese and other peoples from Japan and Asia from different eras herein. Our findings suggest that the Jomon people possibly originated in Southeast Asia.

Key words: Dental anthropology; Dental non-metrical traits; the origin of the Japanese; Jomon people

摘要：日本古代绳纹人主要生活在距今1.2万到2.3千年前的日本列岛地区，是一类新石器时代狩猎－采集人群。绳纹人的起源在人类学中一直悬而未决。本文通过搜集牙齿人类学资料，比较了绳纹人与亚洲不同时间、地区人群的牙齿性状特征，结果提示绳纹人可能从东南亚地区起源。

关键词：牙齿人类学；牙齿非测量特征；日本人群起源；绳纹人
