Detecting interregionally diversifying natural selection on modern human cranial form by using matched molecular and morphometric data.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 31 Aug 2004

Roseman Charles C

Abstract excerpt

This comparison of morphological and neutral genetic variation in 10 human populations was designed to test a neutral hypothesis of cranial evolution in living and recent humans and to explain deviations from neutrality where detected. Overall, among-population differences in extant Homo sapiens cranial morphology are proportional to among-population differences in neutral molecular characteristics. For most of...
