A Comparative Study of Evolutionary Trends in the Upper Molar Pattern of Recent Kodiak Island Inhabitants and Subrecent Javanese Malayans

Abstract

SYNOPSIS IN INTERLINGUA

UN STUDIO COMPARATIVE DEL TRENDS EVOLUTIONARI IN LE CONFIGURATIONES SUPERO-MOLAR DE RECENTE HABITANTES DEL INSULAS KODIAK E SUBRECENTE MALAYES DE JAVA.-Multe cautitate e forte evidentia es necessari si on vole reguardar un molar particular como plus primitive (i.e., conservatori) o plus progressive que un altere. Pro clarificar iste problema il es indispensabile comparar un numero de detalios morphologic. Le resultato de un tal comparation demonstra que certe characteristicas de un typo de molar indica un stato conservatori, durante que altere characteristicas manifesta tendentias plus progressive que illos occurrente in un altere typo molar, e iste divergentias pare esser disproviste de regularitate.
