howell: Howells Craniometric Data Set

In geanes/bioanth: Datasets useful in Biological Anthropology

Description

The William W. Howells Craniometric Data Set consists of cranial metric measurements and sex estimates made by Dr. William Howells between 1965 and 1980. These represent a global sample of human groups considered by Dr. Howells to represent populations, all of which date to the later Holocene. Over 2500 individuals from 28 populations were measured by Dr. Howells. Craniometric dimensions in the data set are linear measurements taken with calipers, and include lengths, chords, subtenses, angles, and radii.
