Variation in Non-Metric Traits of the Pelvis Between Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics
… individual. Assessing the sexually diagnostic traits of the pelvis can be achieved through metric or nonmetric analysis. However, it has been suggested that the male pelvis may exhibit more variation then the female pelvis and that sexually dimorphic nonmetric traits change with increasing age …

Ethnic admixture in African American ancestry as reflected in dental patterns
… study the frequencies of these anterior dental nonmetric traits in a sample of African Americans. However, before those results are addressed enthnographical/historical information on the following topics are discussed: African societies from which most African Americans came, the middle …

Systematics, Climate, and Ecology of Fossil and Extant Nyssa (Nyssaceae, Cornales) and Implications of Nyssa grayensis sp. nov. from the Gray Fossil Site, Northeast Tennessee
… Nyssa species. A combination of metric and nonmetric traits allows recognition of a new species: <em>Nyssa grayensis</em> sp. nov. This fossil species shares the most similarities with the extant <em>Nyssa ogeche</em> Bartram ex Marshall from southeast North America and the Eocene fossil …

Skeletal variation as a possible reflection of relatedness within three Medieval British populations
Nonmetric traits (NMTs) are often used by osteoarchaeologists in the study of human variation. Some NMTs are affected by environmental factors whereas others are genetic in origin. Such genetic variants have long been used to support the hypotheses on the history and divergence of human populations …

The Estimation of Biological Profile From Unprocessed Human Cremated Remains
… skeleton did not allow for the observation of nonmetric traits necessary for ancestry estimation and the estimation of stature was beyond the scope of the current study. Sex was estimated correctly in 88% of the 18 cases in which preservation allowed for an estimate. Age-at-death estimation was …

Fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental instability in Arikara bioarchaeological assemblages
… Specifically, cranial morphometric, cranial nonmetric, and post-cranial metric measurements have been used to determine if meaningful patterns in the magnitude of FA across variants of the Coalescent tradition can be detected. The data that form the basis of this research originate from …

Ties that bind: investigating Hyksos provenance and migration using dental morphology.
… biodistance was explored using dental nonmetric traits and the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). The traits have been selected due to their repeatability, resistance to attrition, lack of sexual dimorphism and an underlying genetic component. The method was …

Sex and ancestry estimation methods in modern Filipino crania (Mga paraang pagsusuri ng kasarian at lahi mula sa bungo ng mga kasalukuyang Pilipino)
… gap by: (1) exploring methods of metric and nonmetric Asian sex and ancestry estimation that incorporate modern Filipino samples, specifically concentrating on the cranium, and (2) bolstering collaborative research capacities through the creation of a novel and internationally accessible …
