Testing the utility of dental morphological traits commonly used in the forensic identification of ancestry.

Frontiers of oral biology - 1 Jan 2009

Edgar Heather J H

Abstract excerpt

Few human variants are truly population specific, with 100% frequency in one group and 0% in others. However, for traits to be of use in forensic identification they must be as specific to a population as possible. Forensically, several dental morphological traits have been described as useful for determining an unknown individual's ancestry. For these traits to be of value, they should occur in their associated...
