Heritability of human cranial dimensions: comparing the evolvability of different cranial regions.

Journal of anatomy - 1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative craniometrical traits have been successfully incorporated into population genetic methods to provide insight into human population structure. However, little is known about the degree of genetic and non-genetic influences on the phenotypic expression of functionally based traits. Many studies have assessed the heritability of craniofacial traits, but complex patterns of correlation among traits have...
