A Review of Research Aims for Historical Anatomical Skeletal Collections in the United States
ABSTRACT Objectives Many osteological methods used by biological anthropologists today were initially developed using historical anatomical skeletal collections such as the Hamann‐Todd and Terry Collections. However, these collections were amassed through state legislation that permitted the dissection and curation of unclaimed individuals.

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Validating Dental Histology for Perinatal Age Estimation Using Human Deciduous Teeth
ABSTRACT Objectives This study tests the accuracy of dental histology for perinatal age estimation using deciduous teeth from modern human infants of known age. We evaluate whether enamel and dentin incremental structures, particularly the Neonatal Line (NNL), can be used to provide a reliable estimate of chronological age.

Mineralized area of the human rib cross‐sections from early puberty until adulthood
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.
