The tooth size associations of incisor shoveling, Carabelli's cusp, and mandibular molar groove pattern were determined for a technologically primitive Melanesian population. Their significance to previously postulated adaptive mechanisms for the morphologic traits is evaluated, as is a possible mode of inheritance for the traits.Mesh:
