Sexual Dimorphism of Height in Adults of South Indian Population
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
68 males and 82 females of adult aged between 20 -35 years were measured in cms .The mean value of male height was 170.2 (SD ±7.0 ) and mean value of female height was 155.6 (SD ±5.9 ) and ‘t ‘ test value value was 13.7 which has highly significant P value ( p < 0.01 ). The difference of height between both sexes were 14.6 cms. This difference was also more or less in agreement with previous workers. This difference of height certainly indicates the evolutionary process of the latest generation of day to day population because evolution is not a force but a process not a cause but a law of nature. More over these obtained results will be useful to the Anatomists , Anthropologists and medical experts as this study belongs to South Indian population. As race of homosapine is an on going. Moreover South Indian population are presumed as mainly Dravidians.
