Microevolution of African American dental morphology.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Apr 2007

Edgar Heather J H

Abstract excerpt

The African American (AA) gene pool is primarily the result of gene flow between two biologically disparate groups: West Africans (WA) and Americans of western European descent (EA). This research utilizes characteristics of dental morphology to trace genetic relationships among WA, western Europeans (EU), AA, and European Americans. Dental morphological traits are useful for this purpose because they are...
