Abstract
Lately, YOSHIOKA wrote a criticism upon our report and commentary on his and NAORA's arguments (ENDO and BABA, 1982; 1984).
This letter is my counterargument concerned with the statistical multivariate analyses and the interdisciplinary investigation of the fossil human bone. Other problems are discussed by BABA.
I concluded that his opinions on both the problems are erroneous because of a lack of his knowledge on statistics and the recent way how to study fossil human bones. Thus, there is no need to change the results and conclusions of our report (ENDO and BABA, 1982).
