Tóth, T.: The odontological aspect in the ethnogenesis of Hungarians, I.

Mongoloid mixed groups, but also in the southern subcontinental area of the Europoid racial stock. This situation led ZUBOV (1979) after a careful comparison of the continental distribution of this trait to the outlining of three odontological complexes (types) as distinct in Eurasia (the northern gracilic, the middle-Europaean, the southern gracilic). According to his investigations a relatively high frequency of shovel-shapedness of the medial maxillary incisors seems to be characteristic for the southern gracilic type. In considering his findings the results of our odonto-anthropological studies cannot be interpreted as the only effect of the Mongolid components, because the odontoscopical trait just analysed is represented with a relatively high frequency in the southeastern area of the Europoids, too. The results given in this paper are in full agreement with the information about the dermatoglyphy (GLADKOVA & TÓTH 1979) and somatology of Hungarian men (TÓTH 1977, 1979), demonstrating the considerable share of the southern Europoid subcontinental complex in the anthropological composition of Hungarians.
