## Abstract A longβstanding controversy exists about the comparative utility of metric and nonβmetric traits as biological indicators in population studies. We hypothesize that the underlying scale which determines the presence or absence of a cranial nonβmetric trait is an expression of general an

## Abstract This study addresses the longβstanding controversy in skeletal biology concerning the relative utility of skeletal metric and nonmetric traits for studies of biological relationship. This controversy centers on the relative heritability of these two trait sets. This paper presents herit
## Abstract For reporting the incidence of bilateral skeletal traits, the choice between sampling statistics depends upon more than their relative efficiencies. Of overreaching importance are the fundamentally different assumptions about the genetic significance of bilateral asymmetry represented b
The weights and lengths of right and left bones of each pair, from 105 human skeletons from Asia, were studied. All of the long bones of the upper are heavier and longer on the right side. The left femur is heavier and longer. The right tibia and fibula are heavier while the left tibia and right fi
