Morphological modularity arises in complex living beings due to a semi‐independent
inheritance, development, and function of body parts. Modularity helps us to understand the …

The last few decades have seen an explosion of knowledge about the time and place of
origin of our species, Homo sapiens. New fossils, more sites, better dates, modern and fossil …

How much do cultural biases affect economic exchange? We answer this question by using
data on bilateral trust between European countries. We document that this trust is affected …

This comparison of morphological and neutral genetic variation in 10 human populations
was designed to test a neutral hypothesis of cranial evolution in living and recent humans …

Morphological integration refers to the modular structuring of inter-trait relationships in an
organism, which could bias the direction and rate of morphological change, either …

Patterns of morphological integration and modularity among shape features emerge from
genetic and developmental factors with varying pleiotropic effects. Factors or processes …

The study of cranial variation has a long, and somewhat difficult, history within anthropology.
Much of this difficulty is rooted in the historical use of craniometric data to justify essentialist …

Abstract Knowledge of the degree to which various subsets of morphological data reflect
molecular relationships is crucial for studies attempting to estimate genetic relationships …

Quantitative craniometrical traits have been successfully incorporated into population
genetic methods to provide insight into human population structure. However, little is known …

Understanding the developmental and genetic basis for evolutionarily significant
morphological variation in complex phenotypes such as the mammalian skull is a challenge …
