I know we don't deal with humans that often but.....
A short enquiry from a collegue - does anyone know how appropriate the use of
cranial measurements are in indentifying the group/location that humans belong
to? It seems this was a popular way of using measurements and led to all but the
skull being discarded in many cases. Are there any papers that critically
examine this sort of evidence? My collegues wishes to demonstrate to less
enlightened folk the futility of such an approach.
