Implications of Plio-Pleistocene Hominin Diets for Modern Humans
Within the anthropology community, there has been a long and sustained interest in the diets and eating patterns of Plio and Pleistocene hominins, primarily because these nutritional practices provide a glimpse into their varied and distinctive lifeways, activities, and cultural patterns. In contrast, until relatively recent times, the nutritional and medical communities have largely ignored an...
متن کاملEnamel thickness and the helicoidal wear plane in modern human mandibular molars.
Helicoid occlusion has long been recognized as a feature characterizing the human dentition and has been viewed as an important morphological marker in the transition from Australopithecus to Homo. The hallmark of helicoidal wear is a buccal wear slope in anterior mandibular molars (and a corresponding lingual slope of wear in anterior maxillary molars) reversing to a flat or lingual-oriented o...
متن کاملEnamel thickness and the topography of the enamel-dentine junction in South African Plio-Pleistocene hominids with special reference to the Carabelli trait.
This study explores the internal morphology of early hominid teeth using high-resolution computed tomography. Data on Carabelli feature size, enamel thickness, and the topography of the enamel-dentine junction are considered together in order to examine the relationship among these variables in the maxillary molars of gracile and robust australopithecines from South Africa. In particular, one a...
متن کاملDental Microwear and Diet of the Plio-Pleistocene Hominin Paranthropus boisei
The Plio-Pleistocene hominin Paranthropus boisei had enormous, flat, thickly enameled cheek teeth, a robust cranium and mandible, and inferred massive, powerful chewing muscles. This specialized morphology, which earned P. boisei the nickname "Nutcracker Man", suggests that this hominin could have consumed very mechanically challenging foods. It has been recently argued, however, that specializ...
متن کاملMale strategies and Plio-Pleistocene archaeology.
Archaeological data are frequently cited in support of the idea that big game hunting drove the evolution of early Homo, mainly through its role in offspring provisioning. This argument has been disputed on two grounds: (1) ethnographic observations on modern foragers show that although hunting may contribute a large fraction of the overall diet, it is an unreliable day-to-day food source, purs...
