Exploring dental macrowear in a Sambaqui population from Encosta da Lagoa (southern Brazil): Variation patterns and an extreme case of molar wear verticalization
Enhancement and Communication of Ancient Human Remains through VR: The Case Study of Sexual Dimorphism in the Human Skull
Over the last years, the exponential progress of technology introduced a broader population of researchers and developers to the use of Virtual Reality (VR) devices in numerous contexts, e.g., gaming, simulations, and culture dissemination. Recently, cultural heritage has also been supported by motivational experiences and other improvements designed explicitly for specific users (visitors, researchers, and domain experts). In this context, we pr…
Growing up in an Italian Copper Age community: The Role of Children in Everyday Life
The study of children’s role in past communities is difficult to face in archaeology. An active contribution of the children in everyday life varies within societies and cultures, as well as the social and biological definition of childhood. In Central Italy, specific funerary customs for subadults are documented in the Copper Age (4th-3rd millennia BCE) according to age classes. Here we propose to investigate childhood in an Italian Copper Age h…
Identifying biological affinities of Holocene northern Iberian populations through the inner structures of the upper first molars
Neolithisation was a relatively fast process that affected both the interior and coastal zones of the Iberian Peninsula, but it was also a heterogeneous process that had diverse impacts on genomic and cultural diversity. In the Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic, a change in funerary practices, cultural material and trade networks occurred, and genomic heterogeneity decreased, suggesting human mobility and genetic admixture between different Iberian pop…
A 3D morphometric approach to endocast integration in Pan troglodytes and Homo sapiens
Neuroanatomical integration studies aim to analyse the interaction of the different brain regions. The skull and brain morphology of Hominidae presents a series of integration patterns and, one of the keys to understand the evolutionary mechanisms of our genus is to identify and quantify if these integration patterns are shared or species-specific. Delving into studies about neuroanatomical integration is crucial because of the complex interactio…
A geometric morphometric approach to the study of sexual dimorphism in the modern human frontal bone
OBJECTIVES: We analyzed the main anatomical traits found in the human frontal bone by using a geometric morphometric approach. The objectives of this study are to explore how the frontal bone morphology varies between the sexes and to detect which part of the frontal bone are sexually dimorphic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample is composed of 161 skulls of European and North American individuals of known sex. For each cranium, we collected 3D la…
Insertion sites in manual proximal phalanges of African apes and modern humans
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the insertion sites of the ligaments holding the flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis muscles (flexor ridges) in proximal phalanges 2-5 of African apes and modern humans. To interpret differences in flexor ridge size based on general behavioral differences among taxa. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ) were compared within and across genera. RESULTS: Gorillas and chimpanzees had larger flexo…
