Description
Summary:The frequency of variations in nine morphological features of the cervical column in a South African (S.A.) black and white example of human skeletons was investigated to determine whether there Was a greater degree of morphological variability in the black as compared with the white sample. These findings were compared with other population groups. Intertribal, sex and side differences were examined, The possible aetiology of these variations was explored. [Abbreviated abstract.
