研究了人类骨骼鼻突的形态特征与纬度、气候的关系。由Woo和Morant（1934）在55个骨骼种群的世界样本上确定的颅面尺寸和指数被用作因变量。在一些计算中，由于缺少骨骼或地理数据，样本量低至39。13个与气候相关的平均变量，对于每个种群的产地，是自变量。采用双变量相关、多元回归和偏相关等多变量技术。随着绝对湿度的降低和纬度的增加，鼻突呈明显的、统计学上显著的上升趋势。寒冷气候变量似乎比温暖措施更重要。同样，绝对湿度比相对湿度更能预测鼻子突出。
Relationships between morphological features of human skeletal nasal protrusion, latitude, and climate were investigated. Craniofacial dimensions and indices determined by Woo and Morant (1934) on a world sample of 55 skeletal populations were used as dependent variables. Sample sizes were as low as 39 in some calculations because either skeletal or geographic data were missing. Thirteen climatically related averaged variables, for each population's provenience, were the independent variables. Multivariate techniques of bivariate correlation, multiple regression, and partial correlation were applied. A strong, statistically significant cline of increasing nose protrusion, with decreasing absolute humidity and with increasing latitude, was found. Cold climatic variables appeared to be of greater importance than warm measures. Similarly, absolute humidity was found to be a much better predictor of nose protrusion than was relative humidity.
