Abstract

AbstractAn experimental pilot study was conducted to determine possible interrelationships between facial skin temperature, facial protrusion, and facial fat thickness; it employed 1°C cold air stress and thermocouple measurement of response. Elevan Japanese and 15 white American males were tested. Variation in the colder facial temperatures after 90 minutes of cooling could not be explained by morphological parameters, though the Japanese maintained significantly higher facial temperatures than did the Americans. The “hunting phenomenon” was possibly involved, and the anthropological implications were briefly discussed.
