This review highlights the recent advances in X‐ray microcomputed tomography (Micro‐CT)
applied in dental research. It summarizes Micro‐CT applications in measurement of enamel …

Teeth are one of the best preserved and most commonly recovered elements in primate
fossil assemblages. Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic hypotheses often rely on …

The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily
evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report a Middle …

The thickness of dental enamel is often discussed in paleoanthropological literature,
particularly with regard to differences in growth, health, and diet between Neandertals and …

Since the first discovery of Pithecanthropus (Homo) erectus by E. Dubois at Trinil in 1891,
over 200 hominid dentognathic remains have been collected from the Early to Middle …

Recent humans and their fossil relatives are classified as having thick molar enamel, one of
very few dental traits that distinguish hominins from living African apes. However, little is …

The largest ever primate and one of the largest of the southeast Asian megafauna,
Gigantopithecus blacki, persisted in China from about 2.0 million years until the late middle …

Thick molar enamel is among the few diagnostic characters of hominins which are
measurable in fossil specimens. Despite a long history of study and characterization of …

Enamel thickness continues to be an important morphological character in hominin
systematics and is frequently invoked in dietary reconstructions of Plio-Pleistocene hominin …

Gigantopithecus blacki is the largest hominoid that ever lived. The consensus view is that it
