Frequency and variation of three-rooted lower first permanent molars in precontact Easter Islanders and in Pre-Conquest Peruvians
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of mandibular first molars featuring a distolingual root in two archeological collections. A total of 172 teeth from Pre-Contact Easter Islanders and 281 teeth from three Pre-Conquest Peruvian sites were examined looking for the presence of three-rooted lower first permanent molars (3RLM1). The Easter Island teeth were recovered during the Ahu Tongariki excavation Project 1993-2001: we iden…
Fourth Molars in the Anthropoidea
Fourth molars are not common in the anthropoidea. Orangutans possess the highest frequencies (7-13%) while many genera in the suborder lack the fourth molars. A review of the incidence of M4’s in the Anthropoidea is presented and a description of the ontogeny of M4 in Macaca nemestrina is described and offered as an explanation of the development of M4’s in this taxon

Molar size and shape variations among Asian colobines
Despite decades of research, little is known about morphometric differences within the dentition of Asian colobines. Although some differences, such as the M 3 hypoconulid, are often cited as distinct among genera, no comprehensive assessment has been made. The objectives of this study were to document size and shape differences in third molars in eight Asian colobine genera, including Kasi , Nasalis , Presbytis , Pygathrix , Rhinopithecus , Semn…
Primate Dentition: An Introduction to the Teeth of Non-human Primates
Primate dentitions vary widely both between genera and between species within a genus. This book is a comparative dental anatomy of the teeth of living non-human primates that brings together information from many disciplines to present the most useful and comprehensive database possible in one consolidated text. The core of the book consists of comparative morphological and metrical descriptions with analyses, reference tables and illustrations …
Dental Size and Morphology of Precontact Marshall Islanders (Micronesia) Compared with Other Pacific Islanders
The Marshall Island material is from five locations: the most southern Ebon Atoll; Kwajalein, Majuro, and Ujae atolls in the middle of the archipelago; and the southern Utrik Atoll. All but the Majuro skeletal and dental material was collected by MIW during archaeological excavations between 1993-1997. Crown dimensions and morphological observations were made of the teeth.Shoveling was present on the upper incisors ranging from trace to semi-shov…

The development and microstructure of the dentition of Theropithecus
Radiographs were made of 11 specimens of Theropithecus gelada of unknown chronological age ranging from newborn to young adult. Tooth buds were removed from the younger specimens and stained with alizarin red S. The tooth buds were then studied using a dissecting microscope. In addition, teeth were removed from four juvenile mandibles and embedded in polyester using a prolonged impregnation and curing schedule. These teeth were then studied emplo…
Longitudinal study of cranial base shape changes in Macaca nemestrina
The primate cranial base (CB) represents a complex irregular structure even when limited to two dimensions, making it difficult to describe quantitatively using the conventional metrical approach composed of angles and distances. Consequently, a curve‐fitting procedure, elliptical Fourier functions (EFF), was utilized; which accurately defines the form of complex two‐dimensional morphologies. A longitudinal Macaca nemestrina sample consisting of …
Dental development of the permanent mandibular teeth in the baboon, Papio cynocephalus
Dental development of known‐age chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes (primates, pongidae)
Interpretation of dental development of fossil hominids requires understanding of and comparison with the pattern and timing of dental development among living humans and pongids. We report the first study of crown and root calcification in the lower permanent molar teeth among chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) of known chronological age. A series of 99 lateral head radiographs of 16 captive‐born chimpanzees were analyzed. Radiographs were taken at…
Perinatal dental development in the chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes )
The synthesis of both ontogenetic and phylogenetic data should provide the ideal explanation of morphologic variation, but for the primate dentition, this has not yet occurred. Information concerning growth and development of primate teeth is lacking, in part because of the paucity of specimens. We have therefore examined the deciduous second molars (dm2) and tooth buds of the permanent first molar (M1) of 12 chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ), aged…
Human skeletal and dental remains from Lapita sites (1600–500 B.C. ) in the Mussau Islands, Melanesia
The Lapita Cultural Complex, radiometrically dated to between 3,600 and 2,500 B.P. , is regarded on archaeological evidence as ancestral to modern Austronesian‐speaking cultures of eastern Melanesia and Polynesia. To date, there has been a lack of human skeletal and dental material from Lapita sites; thus, the present sample from Mussau Island, although small, offers an opportunity to present some preliminary observations of their importance to O…
Evolutionary and morphological significance of the deflecting wrinkle in the lower molars of the hominoidea
The deflecting wrinkle is a well‐known character state of the lower m 2 and M 1 of the human dentition, but there is little information regarding its presence in great apes. The deflecting wrinkle is more frequent on M 2‐3 in all extant pongid genera studied in this paper except Pan paniscus , in which M 1 has the highest frequency (16.0%) and in which this wrinkle is absent on M 3 . In Gorilla , it is absent on M 1 , with only a low incidence on…

Robust and least‐squares orthogonal mapping: Methods for the study of cephalofacial form and growth
A method is presented for the description and analysis of cephalofacial form and growth using two‐dimensional coordinate data. The procedure permits the identification of shape differences at specific cephalofacial coordinate locations without reliance upon conventional cephalometric landmarks. The resulting size‐standardized coordinates can be analyzed by statistical methods for further data exploration. Two methods of shape transformation—least…

Palatal growth inMacaca nemestrina
The dentition of New Britain West Nakanai Melanesians. VIII. Peopling of the pacific
The dental crown morphology and size of 48 male West Nakanai, New Britain, Melanesians is described and compared with other Pacific and Asian dental samples. The West Nakanai dentition is like those of other Melanesians, much less like those of Polynesians and Micronesians, and very dissimilar to teeth of modern and Neolithic Southeast Asians. It is suggested that the origin of the modern Melanesian dental pattern (large but simplified teeth) was…
The sex difference in dimensional communalities in Macaca nemestrina
Intra‐individual correlations for cranial, mandibular and dental measurements made on lateral skull radiographs of Macaca nemestrina were systematically higher in 30 adult females than in 31 adult males by an average of 0.11 to 0.15, depending upon method of computation. Clearly, for the adult pig‐tailed monkey as in Homo during both prenatal and postnatal life, developmental and dimensional communalities are systematically higher in the female i…

Growth rates and phylogeny in primates
There is sufficient evidence to indicate that man grows for a longer period of time than chimpanzee who in turn has a greater duration of growth than rhesus monkey. The problem of this paper was to determine if there was a concomitant decrease in a rate of growth. Using the relative growth rate of Fisher ('21), it appears that for most of their period of growth, the rate of change is the same. Immediately after birth, when we have no data for chi…

Palatal growth rates in Macaca nemestrina and Papio cynocephalus
A longitudinal study consisting of 38 unrelated Macaca nemestrina and 16 Papio cynocephalus monkeys are investigated for palatal changes during the first two and a half years of life. The central problem is to ascertain whether there are any significant differences between the two genera regarding their relative growth rates. In order to examine this question, the amount of sexual dimorphism in absolute size was determined. There was no sex diffe…

Prenatal dental development in the black howler monkey ( Alouatta caraya )
Prenatal dental development was investigated in 19 black howler monkey fetuses that ranged in crown‐rump length from 84 mm to 170.5 mm. During this period of fetal development, all of the deciduous teeth and the first permanent molars were found to pass through various stages of crown and root formation. The deciduous incisors, canines, and first molars each calcified from a single calcification center. The second deciduous molars each calcified …

Spontaneous cleft lip and palate in a living nonhuman primate, Macaca mulatta
A description of the first known cleft lip and palate in a living nonhuman primate is presented. The palatal defect extends from the uvula to the incisive foramen where it passes to the right side to continue through the alveolus between the right lateral incisor and canine teeth. The cleft is similar to the complete unilateral cleft found in man
