This study aims an attempt to investigate the morphological variation of the rocker jaws and/or if there is any biological relatedness among population groups by employing different methodological approaches currently used for the study of mandibles and teeth. The comparisons of human remains recovered from Thailand is concentrated here only, to examine if differences can be seen between Upper Pleistocene - Lower Holocene fossils and larger series of specimens from later archaeological contexts. The results from the Principal Component Analyses suggest that there is a change in term of corpus thickness of the mandibular body. However, this is also limited by the measurements that were able to record due to the preservation of the samples and different methods and techniques employed for this study. Only partial datasets are available and can be used for comparison. Thus, further research should include larger samples, which will allow to evaluate the presence of potential correlations between rocker jaw and measurements (size and shape of the mandibles), as well as the non metric morphological variation in order to understand the significance of such morphological features in reconstructing ancient populations history.
