Maximum likelihood estimation of human craniometric heritabilities.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Oct 2006

Abstract excerpt

This study presents univariate narrow-sense heritability estimates for 33 common craniometric dimensions, calculated using the maximum likelihood variance components method on a skeletal sample of 298 pedigreed individuals from Hallstatt, Austria. Quantitative genetic studies that use skeletal cranial measurements as a basis for inferring microevolutionary processes in human populations usually employ...
