Inheritance of six anthropometric traits in Vaidyas of West Bengal, India.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Sengupta Mahua, Karmakar Bibha

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Anthropometric traits are important quantitative traits used by biological anthropologists. Surprisingly little is known about their pattern of inter-generational transmission, probably due to lack of use of developed statistical analysis in previous studies. AIM: The present study is an attempt to approach the problem of the inheritance of anthropometric traits through advanced statistical...
