  • Title: Principal-components analysis of prehistoric South Asian crania.
    Author: Kennedy KA, Chiment J, Disotell T, Meyers D.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1984 Jun; 64(2):105-18. PubMed ID: 6431822.
    Abstract:
    Principal-components analysis is used as an investigative procedure for establishing temporal, spatial and evolutionary-developmental changes in Homo sapiens skeletal specimens from prehistoric sites in South Asia. It is concluded that cranial variables which cluster hunter-gatherers within the sample are related to facial architecture with respect to robusticity and size. Older models presumably reflecting genetic affinities and racial classifications of prehistoric South Asians which were based upon univariate-bivariate statistical analyses are not supported by the results of this principal-components analysis.
