Statistical analysis of shape through triangulation of landmarks: A study of sexual dimorphism in hominids.

abstract：:It is a well known fact that stirring keeps particles suspended in fluids. This is apparent, for instance, when shaking medicine flasks, when agitating tea deposits in a mug, or when heavy winds fill the air with dust particles. The commonplace nature of such observations makes it easy to accept that this feature will...
