INTRODUCTION:– Skeletal remains can be used to infer the subject’s sex via two methods, morphological and anthropometric. Morphological methods are based on the examination of bones and are very important for a preliminary sex assessment. The second approach is based on anthropometric analysis which relies on the bone measurements. Many bones have been previously used for the identification of sex, and such studies emphasize that sexual dimorphism starts to appear after puberty. The humerus has rarely been tapped as a site for sex determination, though it has often demonstrated an even greater accuracy than other long bones such as the femur. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish osteometric standards for the determination of sex from the humerus. Material and Methods: 200 humeri of known sex (100 male and 100 female). Dry adult bones were included in the study whereas deformed, damaged or broken bones were excluded from this study. Measurements were taken using an osteometric board. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:– In our study, the mean maximum length in male was 32.7cm ± 0.155, female it was 28.20cm ± 0.153 and the mean total length of humerus in male was 31.532 cm ± 0.154, in female it was 28.35cm ± 0.153. The parameters in our study are significant (<0.0001) to consider as major discriminative variables in sexual dimorphism of humerus. Calculated t–value and P value Showed that the difference in the mean maximum length in male and female was highly statistically significant with P<0.001. CONCLUSIONS– It was clear that certain parameters of the humerus could help in sex determination also. The sexual dimorphism in the humerus is not only due to the general growth and the musculoskeletal activity, but also due to the genetic structure of the population. The present study considered length as the best discriminant factor for the identification of the male humerus for the identification of the female humerus.
