Abstract: A physical anthropological survey was made in June 1987 on Lishu nationality, including 100 males and 70 females. The ages of all subjects of the survey were twenty and above.
Judging from all data of observation, Lishu nationality shows very much typical features of yellow race. ln addition, comparing some major mean values of measurements in Lishu nationality with those of Han and some other minorities living in Yunnan, we found that they are very similar in the features of appearance (see table 1l). So Lishu nationality can be grouped under Easter Asian type of Mongloid.
ln view of the cluster graph of kinship matrix for 8 groups of other minorities and Han nationality, the physical characters of Lishu nationalities are more closer to Jinpo, Han and Yi nationality than to Bulong, Jinou and Hani nationalities.
