The Etruscans. Anthropologists are still trying to unravel the mystery of the origins of the Etruscan empire, a highly advanced Italic civilization formed around the eighth century B.C. in central Italy. Were they native to the Italian peninsula or, as many aspects of their civilization suggest, did they migrate from the East by land or sea? The maximum head breadth, in millimeters, of 70 modern Italian male skulls and that of 84 preserved Etruscan male skulls were analyzed to help researchers decide whether the Etruscans were native to Italy. The resulting data can be found on the WeissStats site. [SOURCE: N. Barnicot and D. Brothwell, "The Evaluation of Metrical Data in the Comparison of Ancient and Modern Bones." In Medical Biology and Etruscan Origins, G. Wolstenholme and C. O'Connor, cds., Littlc, Brown \& Co., 1959]

Cuckoo Care. Many species of cuckoos are brood parasites. The females lay their eggs in the nests of smaller bird species, who then raise the young cuckoos at the expense of their own young. Data on the lengths, in millimeters (), of cuckoo eggs found in the nests of three bird species - the Tree Pipit. Hedge Sparrow, and Pied Wagtail - were collected by the late O.M. Latter in and used by L.H.C. Tippett in his text The Methods of States (New York Wiley, . p. ). Use the following boxplots to compare the lengths of cuckoo eggs found in nests of the three bird species, paying special attention to center and variation.
