Relative proportion of the predominance of the magnitude of some craniometric features over others on the skulls of men and women
Source publication
On the craniological series of Azerbaijanis (50 male and 35 female skulls), gender characteristics were identified based on the ratios of two craniometric features - the width of the zygomatic bone and the height of the nose. On most of the male skulls, the zygomatic bone was wider than the height of the nose, while the opposite was observed on the...

The aim of this study is to estimate the variability limits of craniometric skull parameters, revealed in Kazakhstan, and find out significant criteria for forensic medical identification of the local population. The investigation included 25 standard craniometric skull parameters, revealed in Kazakhstan. Standard antropometric tests and tools were used. Current study confirm that the craniometrics indicators of Kazakhstan population have specific regional features. The skulls, revealed in Kazakhstan, are well craniometrically differentiated. Statistically significant differences were found out in 6 craniometric parameters in men (width of skull base, frontal chord, full face height, condylar and bigonial width, mandibular height) and in 4 parameters in women (transverse diameter, width of skull base, mastoid width, width of occipital foramen). The usage of updated data according to the regional features of the craniometrics parameters allow to significantly improve the forensic identification accuracy, study more completely the biological regularities of population formation and assess the comparative efficacy of individual features in the population reconstructions.
