## 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 The use of skeletal nonmetric traits in studies of biological relationships often involves the assumption that variation in these traits is genetic. Studies of nonmetric traits in human groups and in inbred strains of mice and rabbits have indicated a genetic component to nonmetric trai
## Abstract The use of nonmetric traits for estimation of biological distance is a longβstanding practice in biological anthropology. Nonmetric traits can be scored using either the individual or the side of the individual as the unit of measure. If sides of the individual are genetically correlate
Data are presented on 45 cranial non-metric traits in skeletal samples of the Lower Nubian A-Group (ca. 31 00-2500 BC) and C-Group (ca. 2000-1 500 BC) cultural periods. Results, based on the mean measure of divergence statistic, reveal biological continuity, consistent with interpretations of in sit
