Abstract

Studies of nonmetric cranial variants have been a field of considerable interest to research workers, especially because of their racial and regional importance. Twenty-eight North Indian skulls of Uttar Pradesh, India, were studied for the posterior ethmoidal foramen absence, a cranial variant in the present study. Findings are discussed and compared with other global studies and are found to be of considerable regional and racial significance. How to cite this article Zaidi SHH.
