Sex and ancestry estimation using computed tomography: a comparison of the reliability of digital versus physical data collection
Sex and ancestry are most commonly estimated by anthropologists using the skull. Typically, measurements and observations are taken on the skull itself, but for the purpose of convenience, computed tomography (CT) scans are increasingly used in place of skulls in research and forensic casework. …

Ancestral variation in mid-craniofacial morphology in a South African sample
Ancestry estimation is a critical component of the demographic profile compiled by forensic anthropologists when unknown skeletal remains are discovered. The mid-craniofacial region is most frequently used to estimate ancestry as this region reflects the genetic and morphological ancestry of an …

Assessing the accuracy of the zygoma for estimating ancestry using geometric morphometrics in a South African sample
… methods to assist in victim identification. Ancestry estimation from unknown skeletal remains is essential when reconstructing a demographic profile of a missing person. In the SA population, estimating ancestry is problematic as standards developed internationally rarely apply to the local, …

The Utility of Cranial and Dental Data in an Integrated Approach to Population Affinity
… anthropologists shift from broad estimates of ancestry to the estimation of population affinity and geographic origin, research indicates the combination of multiple skeletally derived data types improves correct classification among closely related groups. Therefore, by assessing the utility …
