Masticatory loading is one of the main environmental stimuli that generate craniofacial
variation among recent humans. Experimental studies on a wide variety of mammals …

Environmental factors are assumed to play an important role in the shaping of craniofacial
morphology. Here we propose a statistical approach which can be of utility in estimating the …

Abstract The Argentine Center‐West was the southernmost portion of the Andes where
domestication of plants and animals evolved. Populations located in the southern portion of …

Gestation length, neonatal and maternal body weight, and neonatal and adult brain weight
data were collected for New World monkeys in an attempt to establish typical patterns of …

We assess craniometric variation in 153 individually dated human crania from South Africa
with the aim of investigating genetic continuity/discontinuity during the Holocene. Evidence …

An evolutionary, diachronic approach to the phenotypic craniofacial pattern arisen in a
human population after high levels of admixture and gene flow was achieved by means of …

South Amerindians are frequently thought of as a rather biologically homogeneous
megapopulation. However, when native South Americans are assessed by information …

Biological variation is often considered in a scalable hierarchy, eg, within the individual,
within the populations, above the species level. Morphological integration, the concept of …

It is generally accepted that different cranial regions do not follow the same growth pattern.
In this study, size changes of the functional cranial components (FCCs) in 228 human skulls …

The cranial morphology of Early Holocene American human samples is characterized by a
long and narrow cranial vault, whereas more recent samples exhibit a shorter and wider …
