“…As an alternative, we used the geometric mean of linear measures of size as a scaler for each dental variable (Mosiman, ; Jungers et al, ; Sokal and Rohlf, ; Coleman, ). In the present study, 16 craniodental variables were used to compute the geometric mean of each specimen (definitions shown in Table ): toothcomb mesiodistal length (TCL), toothcomb height (TCH), toothcomb labiolingual breadth (TCB), P 2 mesiodistal length (mandPL), P 2 vertical height (mandPH), P 2 buccolingual breadth (mandPB), M 3 buccolingual breadth (mandMB), M 3 mesiodistal length (mandML), maxillary canine mesiodistal length (maxCL), maxillary canine vertical height (maxCH), maxillary canine buccolingual breadth (maxCB), P 2 mesiodistal length (maxPL), P 2 vertical height (maxPH), P 2 buccolingual breadth (maxPB), maximum skull length, and maximum palatal length (after Burrows & Nash, ).…”
