A quantitative genetic approach to study the ontogeny and evolution of ecogeographic patterns in the human limb skeleton
… all play important roles in shaping the diverse patterns in the human limb skeleton. In addition, studies on juvenile skeletons showed there are distinguishable differences in limb morphology between populations at an early age. This project uses a quantitative genetic approach to test hypotheses …

Phenotypic variation and thermoregulation of the human hand
… proportions across human populations shows broad ecogeographic patterns. These patterns have been associated with climate adaptation. However, the theory linking climate adaptation to such ecogeographic patterns is based on underlying assumptions relating to thermodynamic principles, which have …

Explorations into Appendicular Ontogeny using a Cross-Sectional, Contemporary U.S. Sample
… ontogenetic trajectories of each index and their ecogeographic patterns. Third, absolute long bone breadth and length measurements are used to create linear and nonlinear equations for estimating subadult stature for forensic application. In doing so, this is the first comprehensive collection of …
