Ann King Edward Med Uni Jan ;2(1-2):1-4.

To achieve a more objective racial assessment, sixteen classical epigenetic variants in Pakistani Muslim Crania were studied to assess the measure of divergence among various populations. Incidence o 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
