TLDR
The results of the study indicated that there was a decrease in the accuracy of racial classification from 80% to 77% in males and 84% to 75% in females, and decreases were not significant.About:

Variation in pelvic size between males and females
TL;DR: While males and females are equally variable in the dimensions of the true pelvis, the visual cues that osteologists use to sex pelves are more variable in males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rise of forensic anthropology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the development of forensic anthropology and its role in both the anthropological community and the criminal justice system, concluding that the future of forensic anthropology depends on the commitment of practitioners and investigators to the research and development of forensically applicable techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural selection and developmental sexual variation in the human pelvis.
TL;DR: Examination of ontological patterns of change in variation of the human pelvis as a means of identifying regions of differential growth, growth canalization and evidence of selection found a posterior-to-anterior gradient of increasing dimorphism within the inlet and midplane of the pelvic birth canal.

Biocultural perspectives on maternal mortality and obstetrical death from the past to the present.
TL;DR: This article reviews the research in pelvic architecture and cephalopelvic relationships from the subfields of evolutionary biology, paleoanthropology, bioarchaeology, medical anthropology, and medicine, juxtaposing it with historical, ethnographic, and global maternal health analyses to offer a biocultural examination of maternal mortality and reproductive risk management.

Is It Possible to Escape Racial Typology in Forensic Identification
TL;DR: This chapter provides a review of metric and morphological methods for determining ancestry from skeletal forensic cases, as well as a comparative look at emerging genetic “origins”-determination methods.

Multiple discriminant function analysis of sex and race in the postcranial skeleton.
TL;DR: The Terry Collection femora and innominates of 260 American Whites and Blacks were analyzed by multiple discriminant function analysis and the function seems to express the established differences between the races in the ratio of lower limb length to torso length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Sex from the Tibia
TL;DR: Comparisons of this study with those on the femur indicated that sexual dimorphism in the tibia was a result not only of the general growth and musculo-skeletal activity, but also of the genetic structure of the population, i.e., racial variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age factor and the pattern of change in craniofacial structures
TL;DR: The longitudinal information presented here indicates continuing overall growth from early adulthood to later life, as the cranium thickens and the skull diameter increases and Endocranial dimensions enlarge as well.

Colonial to modern skeletal change in the U.S.A.
TL;DR: Longevity increases and health and growth improvement is clearest in reduced juvenile deaths (census data) and deepening of true pelvis, and variations are above average.
