“…Genetic, environmental and sociocultural factors (such as malnutrition, diseases, and lifestyle) may play a very important role in establishing sex‐related differences among populations (Hall, 1978; Johnston & Zimmer, 1989; Scheuer and McLaughlin‐Black, Scheuer & Maclaughin‐Black, 1994; Belcastro et al, 2019). Actually, differences between Italian and Portuguese populations already emerged in previous studies focused on other postcranial skeletal features in adult samples (e.g., sacral vertebral body fusion, variations in epiphyseal fusion) (Belcastro et al, 2019; Belcastro, Rastelli, & Mariotti, 2008). Several studies observed inter‐population variation in the degree of sexual dimorphism of various pelvic features (Patriquin, Loth, & Sten, 2003; Steyn, Pretorius, & Hutten, 2004; Walker, 2005).…”
