A comparative study has been made of the correlations between numerous linear and angular dimensions of the facial skeleton of man and the three great apes. The Varimax (rotated orthogonal) factor analysis was found to be an essential aid in analysing the very large correlation matrices obtained. It indicated that three groups of association can be identified in the hominoid skull. The first reflects co-ordonated variation in total skull size; the second, co-ordinated variation within common anatomical regions; the third, co-ordination between the jaws and dentition. A broadly similar pattern was found in each group for all four genera. The principal contrasts between man, on the one hand, and the apes, on the other, were found in groups 1 and 2. The most prominent of these was a generally much tighter degree of association between the size and position of upper and lower jaws in the apes, and a consequently reduced tendency for disruption of the occlusal relationship of the teeth.
对人类和三种大型猿类面部骨骼的众多线性和角度维度之间的相关性进行了比较研究。发现方差最大化（旋转正交）因子分析对于分析所获得的非常大的相关矩阵至关重要。结果表明，在类人猿头骨中可以识别出三组关联。第一组反映了整个头骨大小的协同变化；第二组反映了共同解剖区域内的协同变化；第三组反映了颌骨与牙列之间的协同关系。在所有四个属的每组中都发现了大致相似的模式。一方面是人类，另一方面是猿类，两者之间的主要差异出现在第1组和第2组中。其中最突出的是，猿类上下颌的大小和位置之间通常具有更紧密的关联程度，因此牙齿咬合关系被破坏的趋势也相应降低。
