Radius morphology variation in an adult South African cadaveric sample
Sex estimation is a vital first step in developing a biological profile, and is usually metrically or morphoscopically assessed. Geometric morphometric analyses allow re-evaluation of both size and shape variation of skeletal elements, and more meaningful comparisons of sexual dimorphism of different ancestry groups. Additionally, it has shown that some postcranial bones may be more useful for ancestry estimation than previously thought. Geometri…
Morphometric analysis of the occipital bone in an adult South African cadaveric sample
Forensic sex estimation is a key component in attempts to identify human remains. The skull is often used for this purpose, but is often damaged or recovered in fragments. Studies of individual cranial bones are hampered by subjectivity in visual assessment and difficulties in the ability to capture complex shape variations, as well as accounting for population-specificity in the expression of sexual dimorphism. The present study employed geometr…
Assessment of sex and ancestry variation of the morphology of the fibula
The fibula is often not used for anthropological estimations, as its morphological variation is expected to be insufficient to allow accurate estimations. However, in forensic or archaeological contexts, there is the possibility that the fibula is the only bone available for analysis. The present study applied geometric morphometrics to evaluate the potential of using fibular morphology for assessment of sex and ancestry. Three-dimensional datase…
