Geometric morphometrics in anthropology the goal of morphometrics, the biggest downside to traditional morphometrics is that it does not capture the complete variation of shape in space, which is what the measurements are supposed to be based on.

Geometric morphometrics tries to correct these problems by capturing more variability in shape. There is a basic structure to successfully performing and completing every geometric morphometric study: The first step is to define your
