Molecules versus morphology? Not for the human cranium.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Dec 2007

Roseman Charles C, Weaver Timothy D

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary investigations of human crania typically take a limited view of cranial diversity as they discount the possibility that human cranial variation could simply be due to the effects of random genetic drift, gene flow and mutation in favor of natural selection and developmental changes....
