Inca bone - Inca bone

Japanese: インカ骨 - インカこつ(英語表記)Inca bone
Inca bone - Inca bone
When the part of the occipital bone that connects with the parietal bone is made up of one, two, three or four separate bones, it is called an interparietal bone, and since it is relatively common among the Incas of Peru, it has been noted and is commonly called the Inca bone, but it is not unique to the Incas. The reported incidence rates are 1.2% in European Caucasians, 2.3% in Mongoloids, 0.8% in Australian Aborigines, 5.1% in Incas, and 4.5% in Japanese. The cause is that only the part of the occipital bone close to the parietal bone develops as an additional bone made of connective tissue, so it is often delayed in bonding with the other parts and becoming an independent bone.

Japanese:
後頭骨の頭頂骨と接する部分が独立した1,2,3あるいは4個の骨になっている場合,これを頭頂間骨といい,ペルーのインカ族でこれが比較的多いために注目されて通称インカ骨と呼ぶが,インカ族に特有なものではない。出現率は,ヨーロッパ白人 1.2%,モンゴロイド 2.3%,オーストラリア先住民 0.8%,インカ族 5.1%,日本人 4.5%との報告がある。成因は,後頭骨の頭頂骨に近い部分のみが結合組織性の付加骨として発生するために,しばしば他の部分との癒着が遅れ,独立した骨になることである。
