Population Variation in Skeletal Sexual Dimorphism

Reliable estimation of the sex in the analysis of human skeletal remains represents an important and frequently encountered goal of forensic anthropology. Sex estimation is a key component of the individual biological profile that skeletal analysis seeks to construct [1,2]. Historically, it represents one of the deep-rooted features of skeletal analysis in forensic anthropology [3]. Techniques of sex estimation generally fall into one of two categories: those methods concentrating on size and robusticity of features and those involving evaluation of features of the pelvis related to the female child-bearing functions.
