Brief communication: human cranial variation fits iterative founder effect model with African origin.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 May 2008

von Cramon-Taubadel Noreen, Lycett Stephen J

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies comparing craniometric and neutral genetic affinity matrices have concluded that, on average, human cranial variation fits a model of neutral expectation. While human craniometric and genetic data fit a model of isolation by geographic distance, it is not yet clear whether this is due to geographically mediated gene flow or human dispersal events. Recently, human genetic data have been shown to fit...
