Ties that bind: investigating Hyksos provenance and migration using dental morphology.
… of preservation, biodistance was explored using dental nonmetric traits and the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). The traits have been selected due to their repeatability, resistance to attrition, lack of sexual dimorphism and an underlying genetic component. The …

Dental morphology and variation across holocene Khoesan people of Southern Africa
Dental analyses of the Holocene Khoesan populations of southern Africa can provide insight into the biological evolution of an anthropologically important people. There have been many studies of dental variation in Holocene populations of Europe and the Americas, but few of African populations. …

The biological affinities of several Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon populations as shown by dental morphology
… the applicability of some of the techniques of dental anthropology to begin to provide answers to certain questions facing British archaeology. The question directly confronted in this thesis is how the change in fifth century Britain, manifested by a change in cultural material from …

You Should Look a Gifted Mammal in the Mouth: Using Dental Morphology to Understand the Evolution of Mammalian Dentition
… of mammalian evolution. In this thesis, I use dental morphology as a basis for investigating various phenomena in mammalian dentition. First, I investigate the utility of shape, form, and linear measurement when differentiating species of the genus Mesodma – part of an early group of mammals …

An Anthropometric Study of the Face and Dentition of the Apache Indian Population at the Stewart Indian School
<p>Cephalometric and dental morphology records were obtained from forty-three contemporary Apache Indian subjects (living at the Stewart Boarding School for Indians, Carson City, Nevada) to study the cranial, facial, skeletal and dentitional patterns and compare discriminately to other contemporary …

A New Species of Teleoceras from the Late Miocene Gray Fossil Site, with Comparisons to Other North American Hemphillian Species
… locality, which suggests that post-cranial morphology is plastic enough to become modified within a population. Furthermore, dental morphology comparisons with the holotypes of these species indicate that the GFS rhino represents a previously undescribed species.</p>

The Utility of Cranial and Dental Data in an Integrated Approach to Population Affinity
Cranial and dental skeletal data have been used by biological anthropologists to better understand human variation at local, regional, and global scales. While preservation of remains may dictate the availability of data, it is often researcher preference that determines the specific data type is …

Dental Variation in Central Mexican Latinx Individuals
… of a Central Mexican Latinx sample through dental morphological variables and odontometric crown and cervical measurements. Biological distance, or biodistance statistics, fuzzy c-means analyses, and linear discriminant function analysis were utilized to analyze this variation. The Latinx …

Biological evolution and population change in the European Upper Palaeolithic
… modern Homo sapiens in Europe. The skeletal morphology of these earliest modern humans has played a large role in the debate over modern human origins. While it is important to investigate the various origins theories and examine available fossil data in conjunction with modern, present day …

A Biological Distance Analysis of 19th -20th -Century Individuals From Myanmar
… 2) explore evolutionary trends in skeletal and dental morphology from this population sample. This research is a holistic and multi-faceted study that incorporates multiple data types (metric and nonmetric data) of the cranium and dentition to compare individuals from the Duckworth Burma …

Asymmetry and discordance in Carabelli's trait and the hypocone: do MZ and DZ twins point to common underlying epigenetic factors?
… of nonmetric tooth crown traits. If nonmetric dental traits are controlled by genes alone, then it is expected that (1) left and right antimeres should exhibit identical trait expressions, and (2) MZ twins, with identical genotypes, should display identical phenotypes. However, antimeres …
