Phenetic distances expressed by Penrose generalized distance, size, and shape coefficients were computed from permanent crown measurements (mesiodistal and buccolingual) from 42 samples which ranged from prehistoric to modern. A cluster analysis demonstrated that size coefficients basically reflect technocultural development (e.g. hunting/gathering versus agriculture) while shape coefficients bassically reflect known taxonomic, biohistoric associations.
