Three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of cranio-facial sexual dimorphism in a Central European sample of known sex

Sex determination based on the analysis of a contemporary Polish population’s palatine bones: a computed tomography study of 1,200 patients

“…However there are works showing that it is the female palate that is actually wider and longer [3]. The reason for this discrepancy cannot be explained by racial differences alone.…”

“…Though much has been written on traditional and novel (geometric morphometrics) approaches to sexing human bones, the palatine bones themselves received little attention [3,5,8]. Recent years have brought about an increase of interest in palatal measurements in forensic medicine, mainly due to the introduction of geometric morphometrics [3,8].…”

Reliability of Cephalogram in Determining Skull Gender Dimorphism

“…Bigoni et al (11), also claimed 99% -100% correct sex classification on a known sex Central European sample using 3 dimensional coordinates.…”

Geometric morphometric assessment of sexually dimorphic characteristics of the distal humerus

“…It allows for a detailed assessment of various aspects that may contribute towards differences in shape, and can also quantify the accuracies with which skeletons can be sorted into various groupings (e.g., sex) based on the observed shape differences. Two-and three-dimensional geometric morphometric assessments have been used to study sexual dimorphism in, for example, the skull (Rosas & Bastir, 2002;Bigoni et al, 2010), mandible (Oettlé et al, 2005;Franklin et al, 2007;Franklin et al, 2008), pelvis (Steyn et al, 2004;Gonzalez et al, 2009); and scapula (Scholtz et al, 2010). Kranioti et al (2009) also used geometric morphometrics to study shape differences in the proximal and distal ends of the humerus.…”
