[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: that sounds right but they did say " a linear dimen- sion of the body such as stature " This says stature is a 'linear' dimension[/QUOTE]But body type is not a dimension--you know that right? Also, you do know that both the populations described as ''linear'' as well as the populations described as ''less linear'' by Holiday have ''a linear dimension of the body such as stature'', right? Who doesn't have ''a linear dimension such as stature''? [i]Linear dimensions, or linear units, measure the distance between two points. Since two points define a line, the units of distance are sometimes called "linear" units or dimensions.[/i] http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_linear_dimensions [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: From what I've been researching, in my opinion it simply means "thin" in physical anthropolgy.[/QUOTE]Agree. It shows a strong association with what the piece you cited earlier said about body breadth. Body breadth, in turn, is an expression of the laterally prominent curves I mentioned earlier. [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: It is indirectly associated with stature in that it tends to occur at the same time as tall stature. -my opinion[/QUOTE]Your opinion is at odds with the hard data on the table. The native people in my country are among, if not [i]the[/i] tallest people on average in Europe and in the world, but they certainly aren't linear on average. The tropically adapted people on the other side of fig 5 aren't particularly tall, and the shortest sample (Pygmies) occupies a position that's not distant from the middle. [/QB][/QUOTE]
