Cranial vault thickness, its internal organization, and its relationship with endocranial shape in Neanderthals and modern humans
Compared to the more elongated crania of Neanderthals, modern humans have a rounder, more globular cranial vault. The factors contributing to this globular cranial and endocranial morphology remain poorly understood. Cranial vault thickness (CVT) plays a role in shaping the braincase. It has been proposed that CVT variation in hominins reflects distinct stimuli influencing the cranial vault layers to different degrees. We aim to determine to what…
Exploring facial gracilization through an integrated approach of mandibular ontogeny: Preliminary Results From Chimpanzees
The human face is characterized by a more gracile morphology compared to the more robust features observed in the human fossil record and among our ape relatives. Understanding the mechanisms of growth that lead to adult morphology is key to comprehending the timing and potential causes of the facial changes that occurred during human evolution. Documenting structural changes during ontogeny, such as shape changes, cortical thickening, and bone m…

Structural organization of the cranial vault in Neanderthals and present-day humans: Can endocranial shape characteristics be explained by vault thickness
In studies of hominin brain evolution the shape of the interior braincase (or endocranium) is often used to infer cortical organization. However, the braincase is not only shaped by brain, but also by the interplay of evolutionary and developmental changes of facial size and shape, the development of soft tissues, and neurocranial bone thickness. It therefore remains unclear to what extent the well-documented endocranial shape differences between…
Dynamics of pre-Hispanic human settlements in the northern Mesoamerican fringe: Contribution of the Study of Variation Based on Tooth Internal Structure
The western Mesoamerica was the place of several human displacements and cultural exchanges. During the Middle Postclassic Period (1200-1450 AD), in the Zacapu basin (located in the NW of the actual state of Michoacán), large urban centers developed, resulting in an increase of the human population. Some hypotheses link this demographic growth to the arrival and the settlement of a new population and likely contributed to the development of these…
Contribution of the calvaria bones thickness arrangements to the diagnosis and the differentiation of artificial cranial modifications in pre-Hispanic West Mesoamerican populations
Identifying and differentiating artificial cranial modifications (ACM) is of major concern for (bio)archaeologists as such information can shed light on the social and/or cultural identity of an individual. Yet, this remains challenging as archaeological contexts are rarely suitable to an excellent preservation of bones. It has been proposed that under mechanical constraints such as in ACM, the growth of the brain is constrained in certain direct…
Mandible and teeth characterization of the Gravettian child from Gargas, France
While affinities and interactions between archaic and modern human populations (i.e. 200,000-40,000 BP in Eurasia) at macro-evolutionary and continental scales have received considerable attention, there has been less emphasis on the population history of Europe between 40,000 and 26,000 BP (i.e. prior to the Last glacial Maximum, LGM) when only modern humans were present. Here we examine the immature mandible from Gargas (France, ca. 29,000 cal …

Neurocranial shape variation among Tarascan populations: Evidence for varying degrees in artificially modified crania in pre‐Hispanic West Mexico (1200–1400 AD)
INTRODUCTION: Along the Mesoamerican western margin, the Zacapu basin has yielded a large number of human remains demonstrating usage of artificial cranial modification (ACM). However, at the onset of the Middle Postclassic (1200-1400 AD) only few individuals still exhibit clear signs of ACM. Some authors have suggested that, rather than disappearing entirely, ACM may have become less visible anatomically, making it difficult to identify based on…
