Testing the association between human mid-facial morphology and climate using autosomal, mitochondrial, Y chromosomal polymorphisms and cranial non-metrics.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To figure out which and how many systems of genetic markers should be used to control for the effects of shared population history in studies examining the association between morphology and climate and to test cranial non-metric traits as an additional source of neutral distances for such studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We employed three systems of genetic markers (mtDNA, Y-chromosome and autosomal...
