Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 0, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Cephalic Index is race and sex specific parameter. Cephalic Index is different in various racial groups. The present study was determined to identify Cephalic Index of South Gujarat population and compare it with the available data of various Indian populations. The study revealed that Mean Cephalic Index for South Gujarat was 81.2. Cephalic Index shows sexual dimorphism. Mean Cephalic Index for males was 80.88 and for females it was 82.48. We also found that in all available data as well as in our findings Cephalic Index was higher in females compared to males. Such data is of great medico legal and forensic importance which indicates that Cephalic Index can be used as marker of ethnicity, sex and race.
