Rib Cross-Sectional Mineralized Area in Early Pleistocene Hominins: Insights From the Homo antecessor and H. erectus s. l. Fossil Record. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

Ribcage Morphology in Native South American Populations From Different Altitudes: Insights From a Global Comparative Framework. [PDF]

Am J Hum Biol
ABSTRACT Objectives Altitude shapes human morphology as highland populations must cope with cold and hypoxic environments. Although Andean highlanders have been proposed to exhibit larger and deeper ribcages, this idea is mainly based on research using disarticulated skeletal elements or non‐South American controls. The objective of this research is to

Morphological variations and cortical atrophy of the precuneus in normal aging and Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]

J Anat
The precuneus suffers anatomical and metabolic impairments in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have analyzed the morphological changes and the pattern of atrophy associated with this brain region during normal aging and in AD patients, stressing the differences between its dorsal and ventral areas.

What Is the Acheulean? [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia ...

Mineralized area of the human rib cross-sections from early puberty until adulthood. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Ribs undergo numerous changes during growth and development. Although they occur both externally and internally, the latter are not as extensively documented during the transition from puberty to adulthood. Therefore, it is unknown how rib cross‐sectional mineralized area changes during this period.

The protoconid: a key cusp in lower molars. Evidence from a recent modern human population

Annals of Human Biology, 2022
Background The molar (M) size sequence in the genus Homo is decreasing and the general pattern in Homo sapiens is M1> M2 > M3. Aim To gain a better understanding of the reduction patterns of M components (cusps), we aim to assess the area of the ...
