Transgender identification: gender and sex estimation in forensic casework
… keep abreast with ever-evolving perceptions of sex and gender. Specifically, forensic anthropology lacks a codified approach to identifying transgender decedents due to binary assigned sex estimation methods that lack a biocultural approach and divergent perspectives on the role of gender. Using …

Summary Sex: A Multivariate Approach to Sex Estimation from the Human Pelvis
… were placed into two groups: a known age and sex group (Christ Church Spitalfields, South African White, South African Black, and South African Coloured), and an unknown archaeological group (Poulton, St. Owens, Chumash, and Andaman). When comparing trait frequencies, slight differences …

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEX ESTIMATION METHODS IN FOUR PREHISTORIC NATIVE AMERICAN SKELETAL SAMPLES
Sex estimation in bioarchaeological research is paramount for comparative analyses of skeletal remains and developing estimates of other demographic variables. Frequently, sex is estimated utilizing the morphology of pelvic and cranial bones in archaeological skeletal samples. Regrettably, these …

Developing Subadult Sex Estimation Standards Using Adult Morphological Sex Traits and an Ontogenetic Approach
… theme in the anthropological literature is that sex estimation can only be conducted on "adults," a term associated with the culturally and legally defined chronological age of 18 years and older. Consistently low accuracy rates published in the subadult sex estimation literature causes these …

Sex estimation of unidentified human remains: Concordance between morphological anthropological assessment and DNA analysis
… human remains is a challenge worldwide, and sex determination is an important part of the process. Recently in Cape Town, there have been two medico-legal death investigations involving unidentified skeletonised remains who were estimated to be female anthropologically but were biologically …

Assessment and improvement of current sex estimation standards for application in Holocene San and Khoekhoe populations
Skeletal sex estimation is important in biological anthropology. Population-specific sex estimation standards do not exist for southern African Holocene San and Khoekhoe (HS-K) population. Due to their markedly small stature, skeletal gracility, and physically active lifestyle, they exhibit reduced …

Ancestry-independent osteometric sex estimation from selected postcranial skeletal elements of South Africans: a machine learning approach
Sex estimation, as part of a biological profile, has the power to halve the number of possible identities of unidentified skeletal remains. Postcranial elements have been studied in South Africa (SA) for the purpose of sex estimation and have often proven to be more accurate than the cranium. …

Ancestral and Sex Estimation Using E.A. Marino’s Analysis of the First Cervical Vertebra Applied to Three Modern Groups
… have long sought to develop ancestry and sex determination methods using complete and fragmented skeletal elements. Ancestry is most commonly assessed using cranial traits. Sex is assessed using the os coxa and cranial traits. Post-cranial methods for identifying individuals are needed in …

A Metric Analysis of the Postcranial Skeleton of Hispanic Individuals to Improve the Estimation of Sex
… in the United States. When estimating the sex of Hispanic skeletal remains, initial observations cause male individuals to frequently be misclassified as female. Hispanic individuals have been described as smaller and more gracile than the groups to which they are compared, including …

Study of Pelvic Growth and Development Through Examination of Interlandmark Distances and Geometric Morphometric Analyses: Implications for Subadult Skeletal Sex and Age Estimation
… upon by forensic anthropologists for age and sex estimations of unidentified skeletal remains. However, because subadult individuals are an underrepresented demographic in skeletal collections there is a lack of ontogenetic knowledge of the sub-elements (ilium, ischium, and pubis) and the …

Cancellous bone use in the estimation of sex in a South African cadaveric and forensic sample
… dry bone measurements of the proximal femur for sex estimation in a South African population. This was done by assessing radiographic and dry bone parameters (e.g., traditional morphometric parameters and assessment of cancellous area and indirect density) for association with sex. Femora (58 …

Cranial Sexual Dimorphism in Hispanics Using Geometric Morphometrics
… with 37% foreign born (Motel and Patten, 2012). Sex estimation is an important component of the forensic anthropological profile and is considered population specific in that human groups differ in size. Sexual dimorphism in the cranium has been explored in American Whites and Blacks (Kimmerle et …

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. …

Sex and ancestry estimation methods in modern Filipino crania (Mga paraang pagsusuri ng kasarian at lahi mula sa bungo ng mga kasalukuyang Pilipino)
… of geographies, generations, life stages, sexes, and different lived experiences for the purposes of estimating group membership and identification. Research has particularly flourished in the Americas, Europe, South Africa, and Australia largely owing to a history of prominent scholars, …

Paranthropus paradoxes: Patterns of morphological variation in East African 'robust australopithecines'
… to those of living hominoids reveal the first sex estimation of individual fossils with an associated statistical likelihood, and a unique expression of sexual dimorphism in the extinct group. Further analyses reveal that the high morphological variability observed is structured independently …

Sexual Dimorphism and Socioeconomic Status: Comparison between Migrant and Non-migrant Populations
Variation in sexual dimorphism is related to average body size differences and limb proportions between males and females between and within populations (Charisi et al. 2011). The Female Buffering Hypothesis suggests that expression of sexual dimorphism relies on male susceptibility to impairment …

An anthropological investigation into the facial preservation of ceremonial tsantsa and commercial shrunken heads
… were identified only in the commercial category. Sex estimation was limited to superficial male attributes. Evident facial hair growth identified 25% of heads as most likely male, predominantly in the commercial heads. Tertiary facial hair follicles, identified using UVF and IRR, gauged 15% as …

Adaptation at High Altitudes: A Comparative Analysis of Body Size and Proportions in Ancient Tibetan and Lowland Chinese Populations
… When re-association is not feasible, single-bone sex estimation offers a viable alternative. Discriminant functions based on modern Chinese data perform well for lower limbs, while the SexEst tool—primarily based on Western references—shows better accuracy for upper limbs but inconsistencies for …

HISTORICAL CEMETERY RESIDENTS UNEARTHED: REANALYSIS OF UMFC64 AND UMFC65
