Assessing error in human dental measurements
Technical advances in 3D morphometrics and other forms of digital analysis allow for detailed measurements of dental metrics yet, consistently, dental anthropologists show a publishing preference for measurements using dental calipers. It is possible that this preference reflects the often complex field settings, wide global distribution of sample collections, or the simple fact that calipers are a relatively low maintenance and low cost technolo…
Explanation of Ancestry Estimation in Forensic Anthropology Textbooks
The way we teach about race and racism can have profound impacts on undergraduate learners, both positive and negative. Textbooks represent a space in which hidden curriculum about race can cement misconceptions and biologically essentialist thinking, leading to the ongoing support of practices that harm racially minoritized populations. In this study, I critically examine five popular introductory level, undergraduate, forensic anthropology text…
Using Anthropological Principles to Transform the Teaching of Human “Difference” and Genetic Variation in College Classrooms
Do nuclear DNA and dental nonmetric data produce similar reconstructions of regional population history? An example from modern coastal K enya
This study investigates whether variants in dental morphology and nuclear DNA provide similar patterns of intergroup affinity among regional populations using biological distance (biodistance) estimates. Many biodistance studies of archaeological populations use skeletal variants in lieu of ancient DNA, based on the widely accepted assumption of a strong correlation between phenetic‐ and genetic‐based affinities. Within studies of dental morpholo…
Under restrictive conditions, can the widths of linear enamel hypoplasias be used as relative indicators of stress episode duration
Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), a type of enamel defect reflecting nonspecific physiological stress, has traditionally been used by bioarchaeologists to assess human health. Initially, measurements of defect width were used to estimate the duration of stress episodes. More recently, methods of counting within‐defect perikymata (enamel growth increments) were developed to more accurately assess duration. Because perikymata are often not continuous…
Sex differences in anthropoid mandibular canine lateral enamel formation
Previous research has demonstrated that great ape and macaque males achieve large canine crown sizes primarily through extended canine growth periods. Recent work has suggested, however, that platyrrhine males may achieve larger canine sizes by accelerating rather than prolonging growth. This study tested the hypothesis that the ontogenetic pathway leading to canine sexual dimorphism in catarrhines differs from that of platyrrhines. To test this …
