Crown and root traits, like those in the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS), are seemingly useful as genetic proxies. However, recent studies report mixed results concerning their heritability, and ability to assess variation to the level of genomic data. The aim is to test further if such traits can approximate genetic relatedness, among continental and global samples.

牙科非度量特征是否真的可以充当中性基因组数据的代理？来自大陆和全球层面分析的一些答案。

像亚利桑那州立大学口腔人类学系统（ASUDAS）一样，冠状和根状特征似乎可用作遗传代理。然而，最近的研究报道了关于其遗传力以及评估基因组数据水平变异的能力的混合结果。目的是进一步测试这些特征是否可以近似大陆和全球样本之间的遗传相关性。
