  • Human hair color
    Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin.
  • Cephalic index
    The cephalic index or cranial index is the ratio of the maximum width of the head of an organism (human or animal) multiplied by 100 divided by its maximum length (i.e., in the horizontal plane, or front to back).
  • Prognathism
    Prognathism is the positional relationship of the mandible and/or maxilla to the skeletal base where either of the jaws protrudes beyond a predetermined imaginary line in the coronal plane of the skull.
  • Race and genetics
    The relationship between race and genetics is relevant to the controversy concerning race classification.
  • Institute of Human Origins
    The Institute of Human Origins (IHO) is a non-profit, multidisciplinary research organization dedicated to the recovery and analysis of the fossil evidence for human evolution.
  • Inclusive fitness in humans
    Inclusive fitness in humans is the application of inclusive fitness theory to human social behaviour, relationships and cooperation.
  • Canine fossa
    In the musculoskeletal anatomy of the human head and neck, lateral to the incisive fossa is a depression called the canine fossa.
  • Social Bonding and Nurture Kinship
    Social Bonding and Nurture Kinship: compatibility between cultural and biological approaches is a book on human kinship and social behavior by Maximilian Holland, published in 2012.
  • Human genetic variation
    Human genetic variation is the genetic differences both within and among populations.
  • Mankind Quarterly
    The Mankind Quarterly is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to physical and cultural anthropology, published by the Ulster Institute for Social Research in London.
  • John Beddoe
    John Beddoe (21 September 1826 – 19 July 1911) was one of the most prominent English ethnologists in Victorian Britain.
  • Cephalic index in cats and dogs
    The cephalic index of a vertebrate is the ratio between the width (side to side) and length (front to back) of its cranium (skull).
  • Craig Stanford
    Craig Stanford is Professor of Biological Sciences and Anthropology at the University of Southern California.
  • Human Universals
    Human Universals is a book by Donald Brown, an American professor of anthropology (emeritus) who worked at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
