Abstract
The results that have been obtained in previous decades from anthropological studies of populations from the East provide the possibility for a comparative analysis on the human groups of the region. This study, which is only a first approximation, simply aims to collect relevant results obtained in these investigations.
Undoubtedly, there is much to know about these populations. Today, however, we know that an increase in the amount of multidisciplinary research, which integrates anthropologists specialized in past populations into work groups, is a reality. This fact provides a hopeful outlook for the near future.
