Informativeness of dental morphology in ancestry estimation in African Americans.

Published in: American journal of physical anthropology (2019)

FI potentially provides a useful gauge of the effectiveness of dental and genetic data for ancestry estimation. The comparatively high FI of nondichotomized dental traits suggests data in this form may be better suited for studies of admixture than dichotomized data. Because of high error in individual ancestry estimates, dental morphological data may be unable to distinguish differences in ancestry among individuals within admixed populations.
