This review highlights evolving methodologies in physical anthropology in Japan, indicating significant shifts in research focus.
The trends in physical anthropology in Japan have largely changed through the introduction of new methodologies such as molecular genetics and multivariate statistics in the 1960s. The development of ecology and primatology brought another new wave into the field of physical anthropology. This paper reviews briefly general trends in research in physical anthropology now on-going in Japan. Microevolutionary studies of the Japanese and neighboring populations which have a long history in Japan will be reviewed in more detail.
