Abstract

It is known that there exists close relationship between cranial capacity and size of the brain. The study was carried on 800 healthy 20 -25 yrs. old (in which each 400 males and females) in Bheel tribe & Non-tribal population of Madhya Pradesh by Lee Pearson's formula. The mean cranial capacity and SD in Bheel males and Bheel females were 1380.52±94.63 cc and 1188.75±91.16 ccrespectively. This study has shown a significant (p<0.05) difference between Bheel tribe and Non-tribal population.
