The interaffinity between the civilizations in the case of the weighted basic data is stronger also at level 0.5 (Table 6). Table 5.

Summing up: the civilizational components of this complex sample can be much better segregated with involving the heritability values of the skull measurements in the examinations. It seems as if through this method the hierarchical relations between them can be also evaluated more unambiguously. We cannot either fail unfolding the observations on the examined sample. Shortly these could be summed up in two points : 1. The inner affinity of the Lepenski Vir culture and the Starcevo culture is high. This may be explained by the local survival of the Mesolithic population of the Iron Gate region passing through even the Early Neolithic. 2. The finds of the Early Neolithic Körös-Cris culture represent a much more varied find-stucture than the two other ones. In the development of this hetorogeneity the survival of the population of the earlier (Mesolithic) Lepenski Vir culture known from the Iron Gate region may have played a much less significant role. The present attempt calls attention to the claim and significance of human genetic basic researches. Parallel with the more and more sophisticated and precise biometrical methodologies, the research for the genetic basis of quantitative features has fallen into the background. As a matter of fact, it is to be feared that behind the rapid development of the methodology of multivariate analyses genetic basic researches get eclipsed. This may lead us to form opinion on the basis of paratypical phenomenona of such problems in which the knowledge of the Homo sapiens's quantitative genetics is much more competent. 81
