Maximum-likelihood variance components analysis of heritabilities of cranial nonmetric traits.

Human biology - 1 Aug 2006

Carson E Ann

Abstract excerpt

Nonmetric traits of the cranium are often used to support hypotheses of the history and divergence of human populations. These studies rely on the assumption that nonmetric traits are heritable, yet few skeletal series exist with associated pedigree information that allow for the calculation of additive genetic variance, or heritability. In addition, traits for which heritabilities have been published represent...
