Abstract:

"Modern Morphometrics in Physical Anthropology provides a comprehensive sampling of the applications of modern, sophisticated methods of shape analysis in anthropology, and serves as a starting point for the exploration of these practices by students and researchers who might otherwise lack the local expertise or training to get started. This text is an important anthropological resource for anyone who employs morphometrics, including ecologists, evolutionary biologists, systematists, and medical researchers."--Jacket.
