Craniofacial and postcranial dimensions (mm) in Palauans, small-bodied Andamanese and Africans (San)a, and Flores LB1b

a.Andaman and Nicobar Islanders from the collections of Natural History Museum (London) and Cambridge University (Duckworth Collection), and Kalahari San (Bushmen) from the collections of the University of the Witwatersrand were used as small-bodied comparative groups. All comparative data collected by BDK.b.Data for LB 1 from P. Brown et al., Nature431, 1055�C1061 (2004) and accompanying supplemental data.c.Breadth of the orbit from ectoconchion to dacryon (the frontal process of the zygomatic was missing in all cases, but ectoconchion could still be determined as it falls at the frontomaxillary juncture).d.Breadth across the nasal space from dacryon to dacryon.e.Maximum distance between the anterior edges of the nasal aperture (in most cases this dimension was estimated by doubling the distance from the midline of the nasal aperture [as determined by the anterior nasal spine and midmaxillary suture] to the edge of the nasal aperture on one side).f.M-69 [34].g.M-69(1) [34].h.M-69(2) [34].i.M-12a [34].j.from the acetabular margin immediately adjacent to the middle of the anterior inferior iliac spine to the most distant point on the inferior margin.k.M-19 [34].l.M-8a [34].m.M-9a [34].n.M-1 [34]
