Aside from the degree of shape variation of the entire cranium, various morphological traits such as the nasal aperture shape and zygomatic morphology have been assessed through GMM in European and South African samples. 11,18,88,97 Traditional morphological traits like for example orbital shape have also been used for ancestry estimation following a GMM-centered technique on Europeans, Africans and Asians. 100,101 Although sample size or sex bias present limitations, this approach offers a new possibility for 3D shape evaluation of traits traditionally assessed through simple chicas escort Norman macroscopic observation.
