TLDR
A review of studies in the physical anthropology of modern man concerns papers that have appeared in the period from mid-1969 to mid-1971 as mentioned in this paper, and aims to show how much activity there is in each major topic of investigation in the biological study of populations of man.Abstract:
This review of studies in the physical anthropology of modern man concerns papers that have appeared in the period from mid-1969 to mid-1971. Though far from comprehensive it aims to show how much activity there is in each major topic of investigation in the biological study of populations of man that exist today, and to pick out any trends in investigation that may be detectable. Several topics have been intentionally excluded, e.g. behavior studies, psychometric investigations, descriptive osteometry, and epidemiological works relating to particular disease states.read more

Quantitative Analysis of the Hypocone in the Human Upper Molars
TL;DR: A new technique which measures the relative size of the hypocone in the two-dimensional space shows quite parallel trends to those obtained by the other methods so far employed, and allows reasonably detailed comparisons either between the molar teeth or between the racial populations.

Inheritance of Asymmetry in Finger Ridge Counts
TL;DR: Hereditary nature of the measure of asymmetry (A2) is demonstrated by using the square root of this measure and the relationship between heritability and correlation is discussed.
