Shape analysis using the thin-plate spline
This paper describes a new geometric method for illustrating and quantifying biological shape difference. The technique is discussed in some detail, and is illustrated by applying it to the problem of characterizing Neanderthal cranial shape. The method of thin-plate splines uses a mathematical model based on the bending of a hypothetical steel plate in order 1) objectively to generate a D'Arcy Thompson-style deformed grid that illustrates the sh…

Clines and clusters versus “Race
The biological affinities of the ancient Egyptians were tested against their neighbors and selected prehistoric groups as well as against samples representing the major geographic population clusters of the world. Two dozen craniofacial measurements were taken on each individual used. The raw measurements were converted into C scores and used to produce Euclidean distance dendrograms. The measurements were principally of adaptively trivial traits…

Developmental and nutritional determinants of pregnancy outcome among teenagers
To investigate the determinants of low birth weight in infants born to adolescent mothers, we studied the obstetric population attended at the Maternity Hospital of Lima, Peru. From this population, 1256 gravidas, ranging in age from 12 to 25 years, volunteered to participate in this study. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements were used to evaluate the nutritional status and physiological maturity of the mother and newborn. For analytical …
