This comparison of morphological and neutral genetic variation in 10 human populations
was designed to test a neutral hypothesis of cranial evolution in living and recent humans …

The study of cranial variation has a long, and somewhat difficult, history within anthropology.
Much of this difficulty is rooted in the historical use of craniometric data to justify essentialist …

The causes of craniofacial variation among human populations have been the subject of
controversy. In this work, we studied aboriginal populations from southern South America …

Most evolutionary explanations for cranial differences between Neandertals and modern
humans emphasize adaptation by natural selection. Features of the crania of Neandertals …

Extensive research in human genetics on presumably neutral loci has shown that the
overwhelming majority of human diversity is found among individuals within local …

Human populations across the world vary greatly in cranial morphology. It is highly debated
to what extent this variability has accumulated through neutral processes (genetic drift) or …

Evolutionary investigations of human crania typically take a limited view of cranial diversity
as they discount the possibility that human cranial variation could simply be due to the …

The ability of cranial morphology to reflect population/phylogenetic history, and the degree
to which it might be influenced by environmental factors and selection pressures have been …

It has long been unclear whether the different derived cranial traits of modern humans
evolved independently in response to separate selection pressures or whether they resulted …

Cranial morphology is widely used to reconstruct evolutionary relationships, but its reliability
in reflecting phylogeny and population history has been questioned. Some cranial regions …
