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

Correlations of midshaft breadths and compact bone thickness among bones of the upper and lower extremities of children aged 6 to 16 years
TL;DR: In normal, disease-free children, measurements of a single bone cannot be confidently used as an indicator of compact bone mass anywhere else in the skeleton, but there is some indication that the humerus provides the best single bone to use in cases where such a procedure is necessary.
