“…These expectations were born out in Guatelli‐Steinberg and colleagues’ (2006) study of the same casts, in which fluctuating and directional odontometric asymmetry was higher than expected, even when compared with Late Prehistoric and Late Archaic period populations. The effects of developmental stress on dental tissues are well‐known (Corruccini, Townsend, & Schwerdt, ; Fearne & Brook, ; Garn, Osborne, & McCabe, ; Harila‐Kaera, Keikkinen, Alvesalo, & Osborne, ; McKee & Lunz, ; Riga, Belcastro, & Moggi‐Cecchi, ; Zameer et al, ). As such, the low to moderate estimates of heritability reported here should not be over‐interpreted, and in fact, the pattern of values is more relevant than their absolute values.…”
