Abstract
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. Open document to view full version]
