Abstract:
85 Chinese sterna(52 males and 33 females)were measured.All 7 measurements were found to have very significant sex differences.However,the overlapping rate between both sexes is very high.It's difficult to determine sex with single measurement.By using Fisher' method,the sex discriminant functions were calculated which can determine sex 90% correctly.For the purpose of sexing bro- ken sternum,some other diseriminant functions were also calculated.Compared with foreigner's,this study has higher discriminant rate and wider practical use.
