Isolated teeth from La Ferrassie: Reassessment of the old collections, new remains, and their implications
Based on the previously known fossil samples and the new teeth reported here, there are currently a minimum of four adult and five immature Neandertal individuals coming from the "Grand Abri" and a minimum of two modern human adult individuals: one from "Grand Abri" and one from "Grotte." It is noteworthy that the spatial distribution of the recovered Neandertal remains is not restricted to the area where the LF1-LF 8 were found but now covers th…
Ontogeny of modern human longitudinal body and transverse shoulder proportions
OBJECTIVES: Whereas variation of modern human adult body size and shape has been widely studied in the context of ecogeographical clines, little is known about the differential growth patterns of transverse and longitudinal dimensions among human populations. Our study explored the ontogenetic variation of those body proportions in modern humans. METHODS: We compared results from four different approaches to study cross-sectional skeletal samples…
Evolution of the hominin knee and ankle
Three cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip on partially mummified human remains (Roccapelago, Modena, 18th Century): A study of palaeopathological indicators through direct analysis and 3D virt…
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is caused by a delay in the development of the acetabular cavity, leading to an anomaly in the angle of the acetabular roof. As a result, the femoral head and the acetabular cavity do not interact normally. The identification of three cases of DDH among the remains discovered in the most recent unit from the crypt at Roccapelago (Modena, Italy) enabled us to discuss the presence of DDH in this region durin…
The Bronze Age necropolis of Koh Ta Meas: Insights into the health of the earliest inhabitants of the Angkor region
La fouille du site de Koh Ta Meas (Angkor, Cambodge) a révélé une nécropole partielle de l’âge du Bronze (2870 BP +/- 60) comprenant 27 sépultures. Le but de cette étude est de dévoiler les plus anciens habitants connus à ce jour dans la région d’Angkor et d’accroître la connaissance des populations du Bronze ancien en Asie du Sud-Est. Les sépultures de certains individus, probablement enveloppés dans une natte, le type d’objets funéraires ou la …
Technical note: A novel geometric morphometric approach to the study of long bone shape variation
Procrustes‐based geometric morphometrics (GM) is most often applied to problems of craniofacial shape variation. Here, we demonstrate a novel application of GM to the analysis of whole postcranial elements in a study of 77 hominoid tibiae. We focus on two novel methodological improvements to standard GM approaches: 1) landmark configurations of tibiae including 15 epiphyseal landmarks and 483 semilandmarks along articular surfaces and muscle inse…
Postnatal ontogeny of tibia and femur form in two human populations: A multivariate morphometric analysis
The prenatal origin of population differences in the crural index indicates a genetic determination of these differences whereas limb length and relative epiphyseal width likely are both genetically and environmentally determined
