Abstract
The author investigated the dentition of the Hawaiians, and made comparisons with the Pashtuns in Afghanistan and the Japanese. The materials for this study were some 300 pre-European skeletons in the Bishop Museum, Honolulu. The materials of the Pashtuns and the Japanese were the plaster casts. The results are summarized as follows:
1. The frequencies of the "Mongoloid dental complex" and related characteristics are higher among the Hawaiians than among the Pashtuns, but are lower among the Hawaiians than among the Japanes.
2. The frequencies of the reductions on upper and lower molars are much higher among the Pashtuns, and are slightly higher among the Japanese than among the Hawaiians.
