The Bayesian statistical approach considers teeth as forming a developmental module, as opposed to a tooth‐by‐tooth analysis. This approach has been employed to analyze Upper Pleistocene hominins, including Neandertals and some anatomically modern humans, but never earlier populations. Here, we show its application on five hominins from the TD6.2 l...

Neandertals disappeared from the fossil record around 40,000 bp, after a demographic history of small and isolated groups with high but variable levels of inbreeding, and episodes of interbreeding with other Paleolithic hominins. It is reasonable to expect that high levels of endogamy could be expressed in the skeleton of at least some Neandertal g...

Estimating enamel formation times and enamel extension rates requires the preservation of an unworn crown. Only in unworn teeth can the total perikymata number be counted along the whole crown height and the total thickness of cuspal enamel be measured. However, the methods described in the literature for accurately reconstructing the cuspal outlin...

Objectives: In the last years different methodologies have been developed to reconstruct worn teeth. In this article, we propose a new 2-D methodology to reconstruct the worn enamel of lower molars. Our main goals are to reconstruct molars with a high level of accuracy when measuring relevant histological variables and to validate the methodology...

In the last years different methodologies have been developed to reconstruct worn teeth [1,2]. In this study we propose a new 2D methodology to reconstruct the worn enamel of lower molars in modern humans. Our main goal is to reconstruct molars with a high level of accuracy when measuring relevant histological variables and to validate the methodol...

The curricula defined by the University of Burgos in the Master of Human Evolution establish generic skills as criticism, analysis, synthesis, problem-solving, independent reading and project work, and other specific skills as handling and processing data [1]. Visualization and data analysis are central in modern physical anthropology for analysis...

Among the buccal carnivores pathologies are present the teeth fractures which constituting an emergency in veterinary stomatology. Among their main causes they are the traumas in the buccal cavity and mastication of hard objects. This pathologies are classified, assisting to the degree of exhibition of the pulp, in both not complicated and complica...

Prevention and dental care are essential in preserving the oral health of our dogs, given that tooth loss is due to presence of dental origin diseases in most cases and the aging of them. Dental caries is considered a localized pathologic process from external origin that begins after tooth eruption and ends with a softening of hard tissue of the t...
