Unusually low sexual dimorphism of endocranial capacity in a Zulu cranial series.

abstract：:This study uses data resampling to test the null hypothesis that the degree of variation in the cranial capacity of the Dmanisi hominid sample is within the range variation of a single species. The statistical significance of the variation in the Dmanisi sample is examined using simulated distributions based on compar...
