    This study was designed to study the morphological differences and similarities of Chinese Han girls growth and development by using PCA-Q mode cluster analysis (SPSS language). The data consisted of 44 urban and rural cases came from 22 provinces. In each subject, seven anthropometric measures and indices were used for analysing. The results showed significant variations of Chinese Han girls' growth and development existed not only between north and south China, but also between urban and rural areas, and between developed and underdeveloped areas. These variations were shown clearly on the dendrogram, and the geographic and socio -economic factors causing these variations were investigated. The practical use of PCA-Q cluster analysis and its merits in studying Chinese girls' growth and development were also discussed by the authors.

    In 1985, 4747 Mongolian students of 7-18 years old were measured. The 6 items of investigation are: stature, sitting height, body weight, chest circumference, shoulder breadth and pelvic breadth, from which constitutional indices of 12 items were calculated. The 12 items indices include stature-sitting height index, stature-weight index, stature- chest circumference index, stature-shoulder breadth index, stature-pelvic breadth index, Vervaeck index, shoulder breadth-pelvic breadth index, Erismann index, Broca index, Pelidisi index, Rohrer index and Livi index. The age and sex characteristics of the 12 items were analysed by the author. Data comparisons were made between 1) the students in urban and rural area, 2) Mongolian students and Han students of the whole country, 3) Mongolian students in different years.

    Results of the physical development of 3456 students 7 to 18 years old in Kazak primary and middle schools in urban areas of Aletai, Xinjiang are given.' It includes stature, body weight, chest circumference, sitting height, shoulder breadth and pelvis breadth. The increase rate and degree of variation of body weight is the greatest in physical development indices. The stature of the kazak students in most of the age groups, is shorter than that of the Han students of the same age, but the body weight of the most age groups is heavier than that of Han students in the whole country. This paper analysed the data of 6 growth indices in Kazak students.

    Grooves in the ruddy part and the zone of transition of the human lips were called “figura linearum labriorum rubrorum” or commonly “lip print”. It would be useful for criminal search and personal identification and genetic studies.
    1403 Chinese (712 males and 691 females) were investigated. The ages of the subjects ranged from 7 to 20. The lip prints were classified using Tsuchihashi's classification of the lip print.
    The lip prints of the same individual were investigated every month for one year, No changes were found.
    Data were compared with Japanese subjects and discussed.

    This article reported 14 parameters of normal dermatoglyphic values of 11 national minorities. Some of them have been compared with Han people and the Whites of North America. We analysed them statistically and clustered them. The result shows that the inheritable characters of dermatoglyphic not only exist significant differences between White and Black people, but also in different natives.
    The article provides an important parameter for studying the origin, development and relationship of the different nationalities in our country as well as for the diagnosis of some genetic diseases by the parameters of normal dermatoglyphic value.

    The normal values of 12 dermatoglyph1c parameters in 1000 Daur in Tacheng district, Xinjiang, China, are reported. The sample comprised of 500 males and 500 females. The results obtained from the total sample are as follows: Frequencies of finger patterns A, Lr, Lu and W are 2.46%, 3.16%, 44.81% and 49.57% respectively. Frequencies of different combinations of corresponding finger prints on both hands indicate that observed values of combinations W/W, Lr/Lr, Lu/Lu, A/A and T/L are significantly higher than expected values (p <0.01), and observed frequencies of combinations W/Lr, W/Lu and W/A are significantly lower than expected ones (p<0.01). The total finger ridge count (TFRC) in average is 144.29±44.29. Mean atd angle is 41.27±4.73. Mean tPD is 17.8±5.55. Mean a-b total ridge count is 37.25±5.31. The frequency of individuals with simian line comprises 3.8% of the total sample. The, frequency of true patterns constitutes 3.15% in palmar thenar area and 17.30% in palmar hypothenar area of the total. Frequencies of true patterns in palmar interdigital areas I1, I2, I3 and I4 are 0.25%, 1.85%, 24.5% and 57.5% respectively. Main line index of transversality in average are 20.63±4.30 on left and 23.52±4.93 on right hand in males; and 21.00±4.02 on left and 23.62±5.20 on right hand in females. Main line indices in average are 11.03±2.63 on left and 12.68±2.22 on right hand in males; 11.33±2.13 on left and 12.75±1.90 on right hand females.

    The distribution of cerumen types in seven ethnic groups, as well as Han nationality from two different regions, was examined on total 1571 subjects. The gene frequency of dry cerumen in Mongolian (Inner Mongolia) is 0.9323; Hani (Yunnan) 0.8091; Jingpo ( Yunnan) 0.7769; Dai ( Yunnan) 0.7071; Achang (Yunnan) 0.6810; Deang (Yunnan) 0.5928; Buyi (Guizhou) 0.6834; Han (Inner Mongolia) 0.9817 and Han (Fujian) 0.8971. The genetic differentiation among the populations in China was studied using data on cerumen dimorphism in different Chinese ethnic groups collected from available sources. The fixation index Fst is equal to 0.22, which indicates an extremely great differentiation in cerumen gene frequencies when compared with those of other loci.
    The distribution of dry cerumen gene frequency on the world shows that some populations in northeast Asia, including Han in North China, have the highest gene frequency and it declines in all directions to other regions. It suggests that the dry cerumen gene was originated by a mutation in northeast Asia long long ago when Mongoloid was just formed and today's distribution of cerumen gene frequency in the world is mainly a result of gene diffusion rather than that of salection.

    An anthropological research on 122 Lai people living in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was carried out in 1988. The Lai people has attributed no definite ethnic group yet. Their ABO blood groups were determined. The A, B, O and AB phenatype frequencies of ABO blood groups in Lai people are 0.1721, 0. 4836, 0.2951 and 0.0492. The p, q and r gene frequencies of ABO blood groups in Lai people are 0.1189, 0.3201 and 0.5610. The |D/a| test according to Hardy-Weiberg's law is good.
    The frequency of ABO blood groups in Lai people is obviously higher than that in the Han series, except the Northern Han series, and is very near to the Li people in Hainan lsland and Tai in Tailand. It is implied in this connexon that the Lai people has a close genetic relation with the Li people. Much work done by other authors on the ethnological aspects, cultural anthropology and archaeology has led to the conclusion that Lai tribe has a close racial relation with Li group and both groups may originate from a same ancester living in Southern China. This conclusion is confirmed by the results of our research.

    The projection area of the volar surface of the hand was estimated on 123 Uigur students (61 males, 62 females) ranging in age from 18 to 25.
    The average projection area of the volar surface of the hand was 156.97 square centimeters. It occupied 1.008% of the calculated body surface. The area of the palm was 93.30 square centimeters, amounting to 59.33% of the volar surface of the whole hand.
    All dimensions of different parts of the hand of males were larger than those of females. There was no difference between the right and left hand of both sexes.
    The coefficient of correlation among the body length, body weight, length and width of hand with the projection area of the volar surface of the hand was calculated. All showed close correlation, except items.
    The regression of the estimation of the projection area of the volar surface of the hand with hand length and width was established.
    The authors suggest that to assume that the area of the volar surface of the hand be calculated as one per cent of the body area, as it is often used in surgical examination is suitable for Uigur.

    The shape and curvature of the articular surface of the superior articular process of the lumbosacral vertebrae were observed and measured on 56(30 males, 26 females) adult lumbo-sacral skeletons unearthed from Qingdao and Changchun districts. The shape of the articular surface could be divided into tunnel-type, ellipse-type and irregular-type. They might be also divided into curve-type, plane-type and mixed-type according to their curvature. The number of tunnel-curve-type and the curvature radius of the articular surface increase gradually from upper to lower level, so that the moving range of the lumbosacral spine increases successively from above downward.

    The human skulls (7 male and 4 female) studied in this paper are from the Han dynastic tombs in Panmiao site, Jining, Shandong Province. They are all the adult skulls (19-40 years of age).
    According to the analysis of the metric and nonmetric characters, this population belonged to Asiatic Mongoloids. Their main physical features are rather close to those of the modern Eastern Asiatic Mongoloids.
    There are 3 deformed skulls (2 male and 1 female) in Panmiao group. Their occipital bones become very flat. This custom of the Han dynastic human lived at Panmiao site is similar to that of the Neolithic populations in Dawenkou culture.

    The Cenjiawan Site is located at the southwest of Cenjiawan Village in Yangyuan County, Hebei Province (E. 114°40'; N. 40°14'). The artifacts unearthed there were deposited in the brown-red colour clay of Lower Nihewan Beds. Their geological age belongs to early Pleistocene. The artifacts layer is under the Xiaochangliang Site and Donggutuo Site. It is another important paleolithic site discovered in Nihewan Beds. The Cenjiawan artifacts were crudely manufactured and the stone implements include only scrapers. The artifacts are universally small and they may belong to the small stone tool tradition in North China.
