Head size and academic performance
The aim of the paper was to study the potential correlation between school students' head size and academic performance. As the material, the head length and breadth measurement data of 5034 7-18-year-old ethnic Estonian school students measured by Prof. J. Aul in 1966-1969 were used. To get an overview of head size and the development of its growth, head module A was used. The correlation between head size and school students' academic performan…
Physical anthropology and bioarchaeology at the Institute of History in the last 20 years
Human populations and their history have been studied at the Institute of History since 1952 when the young researcher Karin Mark started her career here. Later, Karin Mark became a leading researcher in palaeoanthro pology and somatology of Finno-Ugric peoples, and her working group grew. At the end of the 1980s, Leiu Heapost took over the position as group leader in anthropological research. In 1988 Raili Allmäe and in 2004 Jana Limbo-Simovart …

We and others. Physical anthropology of Finno-Ugric peoples
At the end of 2014, the book Physical Anthropology of Finno-Ugric Peoples was published. It is based on the plentiful and unique but unfi nished life's work of the outstanding Estonian anthropolog ist Karin Mark (1922Mark ( -1999)). Th e originally unfi nished work was thoroughly complemented on the basis of manuscripts and brought to an end by Leiu Heapost
Multiple burials in Siksälä cemetery (12th-15th cc)
The aim of this paper is to give a bioarchaeological overview of the graves with multiple simultaneous burials in the South-East Estonian Siksälä cemetery (12th– 15th cc). Six inhumation graves with a total of 16 individuals were analysed. The studied multiple burials represent various age and gender combinations. Any relations between skeletal pathologies and grave goods could not be observed.In three multiple burials from the studied six, the w…
Taste sensitivity to PTC and colour blindness in Estonians
The article discusses the genetic characterisation of Estonians on the basis of the traits of PTC and colour blindness in Estonian population samples from various parts of Estonia. The taste sensitivity to PTC was studied in 2559 Estonian schoolchildren from 24 localities and of colour blindness in 4300 males from 33 localities. Results: The frequency of nontasters was 25.4% on average; t gene frequency (50.4% for Estonians) varied between 36% an…
The content of chemical elements in archaeological human bones as a source of nutrition research
The aim of the present research was to determine chemical elements using the inductive plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) in Estonian archaeological human bones to establish the possible content of the menu in different communities. Among the studied material clear differentiation can be made between the Pärnu cemetery of St John’s church (the cemetery of the Pärnu garrison) from the 16–18th cc. and the Tääksi village cemetery from the 14–18th cen…

A Population Genetic Characterization of Estonians
This paper discusses the genetic characterization of Estonians on the basis of eight blood group systems, and the traits of PTC tasting and colour blindness in 40 Estonian population samples from various parts of the country. The allele frequencies for the total Estonian population and for the four most different regions are presented. The survey shows genetic heterogeneity within the Estonians; the greatest genetic differences were observed in W…
