Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Maxillofrontal Index, Zygoorbital Index, and Alpha Index are anthropometric measurements used to determine racial characteristics of a skull. A Maxillofrontal Index of 50, Zygoorbital Index of 45, and an Alpha Index of 70 are most consistent with characteristics often found in skulls of White (Caucasian) individuals. These indices relate to the breadth of the face, the distance between the cheekbones, and the nasal index, respectively, which vary among different racial groups.
