Howells

A subset of a dataset that consists of 82 craniometric measurements taken
from approximately two thousands and half human crania from 28 geographically
diverse populations.

datasets

Provides two approaches of comparison; the univariate and the multivariate analysis in two or more populations. Since the main obstacle of performing systematic comparisons in anthropological studies is the absence of raw data, the current package offer a solution for this problem by allowing the use of published summary statistics of metric data (mean, standard deviation and sex specific sample size) as illustrated by the works of Greene, D. L. (1989) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330790113> and Konigsberg, L. W. (1991) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330840110>.
