In Table 10 it can be seen that 87.1% of the Eskimo mandibles exhibited some degree of torus
mandibularis, 20% more than in the Icelandic material (table 11). These results agree with that of
Fürst (35) who in a large collection of Eskimo crania, found about 80% with mandibular torus.
Hooton stated: “As would be expected, the more pronounced development of the character is
relatively more frequent in Eskimo than in Icelanders. In the Icelandic mandibles the torus is more
composed of isolated ridges and knobs than in the Eskimo, with whom it is usually continuous”
