Investigations in Sex Estimation: A Comparison of Morphological and
Metrical Methods is a collective comparison of the many
morphological and metric methods currently used on adult and
juvenile human remains. This single comprehensive resource for sex
estimation in skeletal material includes discussion on the
evolution of sexual dimorphism in modern humans, how sexual
dimorphism manifests itself in those bones, the growth development
in juveniles and how sexual dimorphism can be measured in their
bones. Data is presented which contradicts previously held
postulates and some different uses of sex estimation methods are
suggested, such as using the grading system to assess evolutionary
change in skeletons or grouping juveniles into smaller groups by
age to better estimate sex. New insights are offered for future
research from the presentation of case studies on gender and a
comparison of the sex differences between two African-American
collections which suggests a correlation between occupation and
evolutionary change. To achieve the objective, data on 294 adults
from four diverse collections of known sex are obtained using a
total of 67 morphological and metric methods. An additional 23
morphological and metric methods used on juveniles, aged 0 to 18,
from two of the collections. The methods are specific to either the
cranium, mandible, pelvis, humerus or femur. The compilation of
assessment of sex provides definitive answers on which type of
method, morphological or metric, is more accurate, which
morphological and metric methods are the most accurate, and which
bones are more reliable to estimate sex especially in the absence
of a pelvis. Investigations in Sex Estimation is intended to be
used in the field and the laboratory for the identification of sex
in human remains and aims to provide a wealth of data for future
research in sexual dimorphic studies.
