[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dead: [QB] There's little wrong with that old quote of mine. There is a systematic structure (i.e. geographical patterning) to cranial variation. If there wasn't - a forensic scientist wouldn't be able to determine someone's ancestry with 70-80% success rate. However, while there are populations that differ in terms of (mean) skeletal measurements, they don't cluster or form a nested hierarchy at the continental or sub-continental level (this is why if I use terms like "Negroid" I now always highlight them) hence: "We can only concur with Howells modification of Livingstone’s 1962 quote: ‘There are no races, only populations." (Ousley et al. 2009) I abandoned race/clustering for the populationist approach in 2013, as well as recognising the strong clinal pattern of human biological variation. But in forensic science, "race" is synonymous with population or ancestry. That's more a semantics issue though. What I have stated though is correct: populations in Africa don't cluster together as a continent. [/QB][/QUOTE]
