A t ‐test that can be used for evaluating the significance of differences in metric sexual dimorphism between populations is derived directly from mathematical considerations of the differences between distributions. It is compared with the t ‐test derived by Relethford and Hodges (1985), which was based upon linear regression with sex as a dummy variable. Both are determined to be mathematically equivalent, though the one derived here is more similar in form to traditional t ‐tests of differences and therefore may be simpler to employ. Both tests require only summary statistics for comparisons between populations and comparisons between generations within populations
