Incidence of metopism and ossicles at asterion was found 60.8% and 64.8% respectively in Pakistanis, which is considerably higher as compared to other populations. Presence of maxillary torus in 6.8% Pakistani skulls is a distinct entity, not found in other populations. Present study shows that North American claim to be the most distinct population is very closely comparable to Pakistanis. ER -
