Bottyán, O.: The variations of the palatum with respect to sexual dimorphism I.

A sexual dimorphism can indubitably be established. However, the difference between the male and female mean values, that is, the rate of sexual dimorphism is in every case smaller than the respective deviation. Since the determination of sex based on merely one character at a 5 per cent probability level requires that —given a normal distribution—the difference between the male and female mean values be 3.92 times greater than the deviation, the values of the sexual dimorphism determined with respect to the research material will clearly imply that these absolute measurements and indices, alone and unequivocally, cannot be used for the determination of sex. Concerning the research material, sexual dimorphism is significant as regards the correlation between width and depth, but this feature cannot in practice be applied for this purpose, even if this significance holds also for other samples. As regards changes depending on age, essential differences can —aside of small-rate and therefore uncertain alterations —be established only for the infant and juvenile age groups, manifested in the lower values of the absolute measurements and the slightly higher value of the palatal indices.
