Paleoanthropology And Orthodontıcs
Turkish Journal of Orthodontics, 1997 The aim of this study was to evaluate the collaboration of paleoanthropology and orthodontics. Because medicine and dentistry are based on anatomy and/or physical anthropology, the relationship between these areas has been presented in a historical order.

Measuring the shape. Performance evaluation of a photogrammetry improvement applied to the Neanderthal skull Saccopastore 1 [PDF]
, 2018 Several digital technologies are nowadays developed and applied to the study of the human fossil record. Here, we present a low-cost hardware implementation of the digital acquisition via photogrammetry, applied to a specimen of paleoanthropological ...

Hand to mouth in a Neandertal : right-handedness in regourdou 1 [PDF]
, 2012 We describe and analyze a Neandertal postcranial skeleton and dentition, which together show unambiguous signs of right-handedness. Asymmetries between the left and right upper arm in Regourdou 1 were identified nearly 20 years ago, then confirmed by ...

Hominid butchers and biting crocodiles in the African Plio-Pleistocene. [PDF]
, 2017 Zooarchaeologists have long relied on linear traces and pits found on the surfaces of ancient bones to infer ancient hominid behaviors such as slicing, chopping, and percussive actions during butchery of mammal carcasses.

Animal residues found on tiny Lower Paleolithic tools reveal their use in butchery [PDF]
, 2019 Stone tools provide a unique window into the mode of adaptation and cognitive abilities of Lower Paleolithic early humans. The persistently produced large cutting tools (bifaces/handaxes) have long been an appealing focus of research in the ...

New fossils of Australopithecus sediba reveal a nearly complete lower back
eLife, 2021 Adaptations of the lower back to bipedalism are frequently discussed but infrequently demonstrated in early fossil hominins. Newly discovered lumbar vertebrae contribute to a near-complete lower back of Malapa Hominin 2 (MH2), offering additional ...

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin : experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]
, 2012 In terminal Pliocene-early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7-2.4 Ma or that of 2.0-1.8 Ma.
