The first settlement of the Americas : a study of the influence of environmental and cultural factors on mandibular and cranial variability
The first humans to have settled America went through Beringia probably from East Asia. However, the number of migration waves remains uncertain. Here we considered both mandibular and cranial variation and evaluated the impact of environmental and cultural factors on our understanding of population...
