Craniofacial evolution in Polynesia: a geometric morphometric study of population diversity.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Buck Trudi, Viđarsdóttir Una Strand

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study tests differences in craniofacial size and shape attributed to demographic history and plastic responses to differing environments in the islands of Polynesia. The dispersal of modern humans into Polynesia provides a useful scenario to investigate the impact of migration on human craniofacial diversity. METHODS: Three dimensional geometric morphometric techniques are used to examine...
