As a physical anthropologist the author contends the following: (1) That the hitherto prevalent opinion that the men of the early stage of the Jomon Pottery Culture were the first migrants into the Japanese Archipelago is highly doubtful. (2) That the opinion of some anthropologists that the formation of Japanese people is the result of racial mixtures among various peoples is questionable. (3) That the human coxal bone found in 1931 on the beach at Nishiyagi near Akashi can be regarded, on the basis of substantial evidence, as belonging to the lower Pleistocene, and this fact is important.
