Sexually dimorphic traits are associated with subsistence strategy in African faces from the Sahel/Savannah belt.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Apr 2024

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Previous research revealed that in some African populations, food-production strategies are associated with facial shape. Nomadic pastoralists living in the African Sahel/Savannah belt have a different facial morphology than their sedentary neighbors. We investigated whether the lifestyle associated with a subsistence pattern has an impact on sexual dimorphism in the facial structure. METHODS: We...
