TL;DR: As character number decreased, or OTU number increased, classifications based on phenograms became more stable than those based on estimated cladogram, and became better for reconstructing the true cladogeny than estimated cladograms in the Caminalcules.

TL;DR: In this paper, a restricted randomization procedure was developed to test two alternative hypotheses concerning the ethnic designations of the occupants of the cemetery at Szentendre, and the hypothesis that graves located in a rough circle (putative Lombards) differ serologically from those located at the periphery (putte nonLombards) is strongly preferred over a second hypothesis based on grave goods which would imply spatially random placement of the graves of the two ethnic units.

TL;DR: Whether a hierarchy of taxonomic characters can be said to exist is examined, as well as the classifications that result when the Caminalcules are classified on the basis of phenograms or of cladograms, with or without the fossils.

TL;DR: P pairwise Mantel tests of the matrices show that OOA correlates better with LAN than does REN, supporting Renfrew's basic hypothesis of the dispersal of the Indo-European languages with the spread of agriculture but showing less effect for his postulated transformations.

TL;DR: The hypothesis of diffusion processes is supported by substantial interpopulation correlations between dermatoglyphic traits that contrast sharply with largely negligible intralocality correlations.
