Growth processes of the facial skeleton and anterior base of the skull in healthy children from birth to 18 years
Introduction. A number of diseases, including craniosynostosis, basal encephaloceles, and fibrous dysplasia, can be accompanied by deformities in the facial skeleton and the skull base. To quantify the degree of pathological deformity and the dynamics of skull bone growth in these patients, data from healthy children’s growth processes is needed. The aim of this study is to describe the normal growth of the main craniometric variables of the faci…
High‐Altitude Adaptations in Cranial and Facial Morphology Among the Native Populations of Qinghai and Pamir and Tian Shan Mountains
OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the ecogeographic trends in the morphology of the cranial and facial skeleton of high- and mid-altitude mountainous populations of Central Asia and China and tests them against the morphological features of related low-altitude populations of the same regions. METHODS: Data on 32 cranial dimensions (9 of the cranium and 23 of the facial skeleton) was collected in a sample of 289 skulls (171 male, 118 female) fr…
A Morphometric Study of the 11th – 18th Centuries AD Cranial Series from Russian Cities
Anthropological features of the Russian city population in the 11th – 18th centuries were studied using classical methods of craniometry as well as cranio- and osteoscopy. However, the method of geometric morphometry, which has been actively used since the 1990s and is a recent morphometric tool, has not yet been applied to Russian urban craniological series. We obtained and analyzed by the GM method three-dimensional copies of 225 skulls from th…
A Geometric Morphometric Study of the Facial Skeleton Variation in the Jetyasar Archaeological Culture Population of the Eastern Aral Region
Introduction. The origin of the Jetyasar culture’s population remains a subject of debate. It was generally accepted that the Xiongnu penetrated into the Aral Sea region and participated in the formation of the local population. Previous studies have shown a complex and admixed origin of the Jetyasar people. But the spread of the head deformation tradition in this population imposes serious limitations on the application of craniometric methods f…
A Case of Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy (HOA) in a Female Burial from the Cathedral Hill Necropolis in Vyazma (Late 13th c. AD)
The necropolis at the Cathedral Hill in Vyazma is mainly dated to the late 13th c. AD, and likely contains burials of the citizens of a high social status. A complete and well-preserved skeleton of a 35–40 year old female was excavated from Burial 15 of the necropolis. Almost all the bones of both upper and lower limbs were deformed due to excessive deposits of bone (periostitis) in the diaphyseal and metaphyseal areas. A combination of macroscop…
A common ecogeographic trend in the internal nasal cavity variation across Mesolithic to Bronze Age Eastern European and Caucasian populations
The ecogeographic trends in the shape of the internal nasal cavity and external facial skeleton were explored in a sample of Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age skulls from Northeastern Europe and the Caucasus and tested against a background of the variation in recent populations from the same area. The volume, surface area, and several linear dimensions of the internal nasal cavity as well as a set of 3D landmarks of the external mid‐face were…
Toward a non-contradictory explanation of the climate-related variation of the nasal cavity and mid-face
Introduction. While the "Thomson-Buxton rule" describing the association between climate and the shape of the nasal aperture, and the nasal cavity in general, has been consistently confirmed at the global level, more detailed analyses at lower geographic scales reveal somehow contradictory results. The aim of this review was to summarize published data on the ecogeographic trends for the external and internal parts of the nasal cavity and mid-fac…
New data on modern human nasal airway morphology and variation
Nasal cavity is an anatomical region of the craniofacial skeleton that is the gate of the respiratory system. This cavity shows strong morphological variation, but the link between its shape and its function is not fully understood. Previous studies focusing on environmental factors (e.g. air temperature, humidity, altitude) demonstrated an influence of these factors on nasal morphology. However, it is difficult to disentangle this environmental …

Nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses form variation among modern humans of Asian descent
OBJECTIVES: This study explores variation, covariation, and ecogeographic pattern of the nasal cavity, maxillary sinuses, and external midfacial skeleton across 15 populations of east Asian origin inhabiting the Far East, Siberia, Alaska and Greenland. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have collected linear measurements of the internal nasal cavity, maxillary sinus and external midfacial skeleton as well as volumes and surface areas of three-dimensional …
Midfacial growth patterns in males from newborn to 5 years old based on computed tomography
OBJECTIVES: Growth patterns of the human facial skeleton have been of great interest and importance for biological anthropologists, forensic scientists, craniofacial surgeons, and orthopedists. Nevertheless, growth trends of the facial skeleton in infancy and early childhood are still poorly known and clinical CT data have been insufficiently used for studying craniofacial ontogeny. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive quantit…
Can diet be inferred from the biomechanical response to simulated biting in modern and pre-historic human mandibles
The association between mid-facial morphology and climate in northeast Europe differs from that in north Asia
Intragroup Variation of the Facial Skeleton in 16th–19th Century Rural Russian Populations in the Worldwide Context
This article outlines a technique for comparing cranial samples by studying their individual variation patterns against the background of worldwide variation using the principal component analysis (PCA). The training set consisted of 357 male crania from 27 populations of Europe, Asia, and North America. Our measurement protocol included 14 linear dimensions of the facial skeleton. As a test set, we used four recent rural Russian samples, while s…
Testing the association between human mid‐facial morphology and climate using autosomal, mitochondrial, Y chromosomal polymorphisms and cranial non‐metrics
OBJECTIVES: To figure out which and how many systems of genetic markers should be used to control for the effects of shared population history in studies examining the association between morphology and climate and to test cranial non-metric traits as an additional source of neutral distances for such studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We employed three systems of genetic markers (mtDNA, Y-chromosome and autosomal SNPs) and cranial non-metrics to co…
Extreme climate, rather than population history, explains mid‐facial morphology of northern asians
Previous studies have examined mid‐facial cold adaptation among either widely dispersed and genetically very diverse groups of humans isolated for tens of thousands of years, or among very closely related groups spread over climatically different regions. Here we present a study of one East Asian and seven North Asian populations in which we examine the evidence for convergent adaptations of the mid‐face to a very cold climate. Our findings indic…
Iron Age nomads of southern Siberia in craniofacial perspective
This study quantifies the population history of Iron Age nomads of southern Siberia by analyzing craniofacial diversity among contemporaneous Bronze and Iron Age (7th–2nd centuries BC) groups and compares them to a larger geographic sample of modern Siberian and Central Asian populations. In our analyses, we focus on peoples of the Tagar and Pazyryk cultures, and Iron Age peoples of the Tuva region. Twenty-six cranial landmarks of the vault and f…
