Determinación del sexo en cráneo y mandíbula en una muestra contemporánea de Medellín

ABSTRACT: The present study compared different estimates of sexual dimorphism on a sample of 21 metric dimensions of skull an jaw, in a contemporary sample of skeletons from Medellín. Sexual dimorphism studied by the Student t-test afforded a slightly high number of dimorphic dimensions when compared with Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for two independent samples. However, t-test showed similar results to the F-test (One way ANOVA) applied by Rosique et al. (2004) in a previous article. MDI (Mean Distance Index) calculation yielded values higher tan 5% in those dimensions diagnosed as highly dimorphic by all the statistical test. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, for two samples, was recomended when variables depart from normality. Both, univariate analysis and discriminant analysis showed the mandible had a higher diagnostic power with respect to the cranium. MDI calculation showed less sexual dimorphism in the present sample with respect to a contemporary sample from Bogotá studied by Rodríguez Cuenca (2002).
