In the past few decades both the numbers of hominin dental fossils and the sophistication of the techniques used to analyze them have increased substantially. Contributions focus on dental morphometrics, growth and development, diet and dental evolution. The contributed chapters include crown morphology, microstructure, microwear, stable isotope data, recent genetic research and new methodologies, including 3-D imaging, confo Analysis sociale wetenschappen social sciences anatomie anatomy antropologie anthropology tandheelkunde dentistry beeldverwerking image processing machine vision simulatiemodellen simulation models Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer eBooks Subject Teeth -- Evolution Human evolution.
