Hypothesis
The global pattern of mandibular morphology variation will be associated with dichotomized (hunter/gatherer vs. agricultural/pastoralist) subsistence type (19546).
Note
Correlation remains strong after Bonferroni correction and when controlling for genetics, geography, and climate (19547).
