Abstract
Identification of familial relationships is essential for reconstructing social structures in ancient societies. In forensic medicine, individual identification is occasionally also achieved by the same procedure. The paper discusses the role of odontologic traits for kinship analysis as well as several statistical procedures helpful in the detection and evaluation of presumptive 'genetic' relationships, and presents examples of applications.Mesh:
