Cranial sexual dimorphism levels in modern humans: Supporting a global expansion originating in southern Africa

2024-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Modern humans are acknowledged to have expanded across Earth from Africa. Biological measures have appeared to reflect this expansion, such as genetic diversity and cranial sexual size dimorphism. Admixture is known to be an issue for using diversity to locate where the expansion set out from in Africa; using cranial dimorphism should make admixture less of an issue. Therefore, cranial dimorphism could be of impor...
