Heritability and genetic integration of anterior tooth crown variants in the South Carolina Gullah

Objectives This article presents estimates of narrow‐sense heritability and bivariate genetic correlation for a series of morphological crown variants of the anterior dentition. These results provide insight into the value of dental phenotypes as evolutionary proxies, as well as the development of tooth crowns as integrated or modular structures. Materials and Methods African American dental casts from the Menegaz‐Bock collection were scored for...
