Multivariate statistical analysis, based upon a number of dimensions, showed significant contrasts in dental arch form between four primate groups, which was difficult to identify from subjective visual inspection. Furthermore, analysis of dental arch size was shown to differ from dental arch shape, although whether this reflected predominantly genetic or environmental factors, requires further research.
基于多个维度的多变量统计分析表明，四个灵长类动物群体之间的牙弓形态存在显著差异，这很难通过主观视觉检查来识别。此外，牙弓大小的分析显示与牙弓形状不同，尽管这主要反映的是遗传因素还是环境因素，还需要进一步研究。
