Geology, Fauna, and Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions of the Makapansgat Limeworks Australopithecus africanus -Bearing Paleo-Cave
The Makapansgat Valley is located in Limpopo Province, South Africa (Figure 7.1), and is the northernmost of the South African australopithecine fossil sites. Hominin fossils were first recovered there in 1947, but the history and significance of the valley dates to the nineteenth century. The name of the site and valley derives from the Historic, or Gwasa, Cave at the head of the valley, which was the location of a siege in 1854 (Naidoo, 1987; E…

Epiphyseal fusion and dental development in Pan paniscus with comparisons with Pan troglodytes
OBJECTIVES: Compared with frequent studies of skeletal development in chimpanzees, relatively little is known about bonobo skeletal development. This study seeks to explore the relationship between skeletal and dental development in both species of Pan. New data are presented for fusion sites not previously observed in bonobos. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a sample of 34 Pan paniscus and 168 Pan troglodytes subadults, state of fusion was recorded fo…
Epiphyseal fusion in Pan troglodytes relative to dental age
Previous studies on different aspects of chimpanzee growth and development have documented dental eruption and development, long bone and somatic growth, and to a lesser extent, skeletal fusion. Such data are useful in comparative and evolutionary studies of growth and some aspects of life history evolution in apes and early hominids. However, few studies have integrated dental development and other aspects of skeletal development, and none of th…
Analysis of correlations between measures of skeletal development and dental mineralization in Pan troglodytes
OBJECTIVES: This study seeks to assess the relationship between dental mineralization and skeletal development in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and to evaluate the effect that differing numbers of ordinal and continuous variables have on correlation statistics, particularly in comparison with prior human studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study evaluated epiphyseal fusion, dental mineralization, and growth in length of long bones using 145 juve…

The history and composition of the Raymond A. Dart Collection of Human Skeletons at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
The Raymond A. Dart Collection of Human Skeletons (Dart Collection) is housed in the School of Anatomical Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, and comprises one of the largest documented cadaver‐derived human skeletal assemblages in the world. This collection originated in the early 1920s as a result of the efforts of Raymond Dart and continues to grow. The skeletons included represent varied indigenous and…

Speleology and magnetobiostratigraphic chronology of the Buffalo Cave fossil site, Makapansgat, South Africa
Speleological, stratigraphic, paleomagnetic and faunal data is presented for the Buffalo Cave fossil site in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Speleothems and clastic deposits were sampled for paleomagnetic and mineral magnetic analysis from the northern part of the site, where stratigraphic relationships could be more easily defined and a magnetostratigraphy could therefore be developed for the site. This is also where excavations recovered …
Speleology and magnetobiostratigraphic chronology of the GD 2 locality of the Gondolin hominin-bearing paleocave deposits, North West Province, South Africa
Patella measurements of South African whites as sex assessors
Reconstructing australopithecine growth and development
distinctive patterns of dental development characterize A. africanus and A. robustus ... This is not to imply that we necessarily know the cause of these pattern differences – only that they are apparently real and need some biological explanation. (Conroy & Kuykendall, 1995: 128) It is perhaps time we characterize early hominids more for what they are than what they are like, insofar as this is possible. We should be cognizant of the fact that e…

First record of hominid teeth from the Plio-Pleistocene site of Gondolin, South Africa
Dental development in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
Data are presented documenting the timing of tooth calcification for the left mandibular dentition (I1-M3) based on a cross-sectional series of intraoral dental X-rays from a sample of 118 captive chimpanzees. Mean, median, and midpoint ages of attainment; standard deviations (SD); interquartile ranges (IQR); and age ranges were calculated for the eight developmental stages of these teeth. Minor differences with previous studies of chimpanzee den…
Permanent tooth calcification in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
Tooth calcification is an important developmental marker for use in constructing models for early hominid life history, particularly for its application to the fossil record. As chimpanzees are commonly utilized in interspecific comparisons in such research, this study aims to improve available baseline data for tooth calcification patterns in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and to quantify basic patterns and polymorphisms. We present an analysis …
Enamel structure and development
Paleopediatrics
Modern human children take about twice as long as their closest biological relative, the chimpanzee, to mature. One standard explanation for the evolution of “delayed maturation” at an early stage of human evolution is that it provided the time necessary for immature individuals to learn complex skills, most notably those relating to tool‐making abilities. However, after comparing dental maturational profiles of early hominids from South Africa (…
Probit and survival analysis of tooth emergence ages in a mixed‐longitudinal sample of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
Tooth emergence data from a mixed‐longitudinal sample of 58 chimpanzees of known age were analyzed using probit and survival techniques to produce median emergence ages, ranges of variability, and emergence sequences for primary and permanent teeth. Between‐group comparisons were made to test for statistically significant differences in emergence ages. No such differences were found between right and left sides, or between maxilla and mandible, f…
