Global patterns of the cranial form of modern human populations described by analysis of a 3D surface homologous model
Abstract This study assessed the regional diversity of the human cranial form by using geometric homologous models based on scanned data from 148 ethnic groups worldwide. This method adopted a template-fitting technique for a nonrigid transformation via the iterative closest point algorithm to gener...
