Pervasive genetic integration directs the evolution of human skull shape.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

It has long been unclear whether the different derived cranial traits of modern humans evolved independently in response to separate selection pressures or whether they resulted from the inherent morphological integration throughout the skull. In a novel approach to this issue, we combine evolutionary quantitative genetics and geometric morphometrics to analyze genetic and phenotypic integration in human skull...
