Abstract
614 skulls were examined, comprising 49 australoids, 80 negroids, 66 mongoloids and 419 caucasoids. The degree of alveolar bone loss was significantly greater in negroids and australoids than caucasoids or mongoloids. Also the degree of alveolar bone loss decreased between Romano‐British and 19th. century times in caucasoids. A similar pattern of variation was noted in the degree of tooth attrition. The results from this study are not sufficient, however, to assess whether the variation between the various population samples reflect genetic or environmental factors.
