The frequency of expression of the mylohyoid bridge was studied in the mandibles of 73 Khoisan. A high incidence (32.2%) of mylohyoid bridge was found, and this is compared with frequencies reported for other populations. The concept of D.R. Sawyer and co‐workers that the mylohyoid bridge is a significant genetic marker for Mongoloid affinity is discussed, and shown to be invalid by the results of this study
