Implications of tooth root hypercementosis in a Barbados slave skeletal collection.
TL;DR: A 17th- to 19th-century cemetery sample of 104 slaves from Newton Plantation (Barbados) shows uniquely high hypercementosis prevalence, as well as unexpectedly high and variable skeletal lead content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genetic variance and heritability of dental occlusal variables in U.S. and Northwest Indian twins.
TL;DR: Genetic variance analysis of 15 dental occlusal and arch variables is based on cross-cultural comparison of twin variances (U.S. Whites and Northwest Indian Punjabis).
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction between nonmetric and metric cranial variation.
TL;DR: Cranial discrete or 'epigenetic' traits have been analyzed for interrelationships with measurements of the skull in a sample of American Negro males, finding a low but observable general influence is exerted upon nonmetric morphology by metrical variation of the human skull.
Journal ArticleDOI
The postcranium of Miocene hominoids: Were dryopithecines merely “dental apes”?
TL;DR: The striking dissimilarity between Miocene and extant hominoids seems to eliminate the consideration of a direct ancestor-descendant relationship between specificMiocene and modern forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
