1931 T. L. Woo in Biometrika 22 325 A special advantage of taking measurements on the individual bones of the skull is that we thus get some idea of the size and shape of relatively small regions,..giving us a better appreciation of local asymmetries than the run of anthropometric measurements can. I think it might be useful to distinguish the two types of measurements as ethnometric and morphometric, for both are actually anthropometric.
