Although there is no difference between the Hawaiian and Chamorro in bone length, the diameters and circumferences of the shafts show a considerable difference. Compared with the skeletal samples from Japan, the Hawaiian are similar to the Jomon and Ainu while the Chamorro are at a good distance from the Japanese series. However, the Jomon and Ainu form a contrast to the Hawaiian in relative length of radius and ulna. Because both the functional adaptations and some genetic factors may contribute to the formation of limb bone morphology, it is necessary to select useful items for understanding human variation.}, pages = {45--57}, title = {Limb Bone Characteristics in the Hawaiian and Chamorro Peoples}, volume = {4}, year = {1993} }
