An odontometric analysis of the early Griqua dentition.
The teeth of 28 Griqua skeletons were subjected to odontometric analysis. Significant sexual dimorphism in tooth size was demonstrated in canines and molars. Coefficients of variation were generally greater in the more distal tooth within morphological classes. Rank order correlations suggest similar patterns of variability in males and females. Comparisons of the Griqua dentition with similar populations were made.
