An adult maxilla and partial mandibles of a hominoid primate recovered from the late Miocene locality Çorakyerler (central Anatolia) are recognized as new species Ouranopithecus, one rare western Eurasian hominoids to have survived well into Miocene. This is distinguished its sister taxon, likely ancestor Ouranopithecus macedoniensis, by constellation dentognathic features. The species, in which male postcanine dentition larger than that any other ape besides Gigantopithecus, associated with...
Fossil apes from the eastern Mediterranean are central to debate on African ape and human (hominine) origins. Current research places them either as hominines, hominins (humans our fossil relatives) or stem hominids, no more closely related hominines than pongines (orangutans their relatives). Here we show, based analysis of a newly identified genus, Anadoluvius, 8.7 Ma site Çorakyerler in Anatolia, that diverse, part first known radiation early members hominines. The this currently only...
The fossa navicularis is a relatively rare anatomic variation of the skull base. Awareness its existence will avoid misinterpretations radiological images and unnecessary investigations. This study describes appearance navicularis, investigates incidence whether it related to pathology at basiocciput. We studied 492 dry human skulls 525 computer tomography (CT) patients. Dry showing were investigated by CT scan, whereas patients identified as having further examined with magnetic resonance...
Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea with a documented history of human settlements dating back over 10,000 years.To investigate paternal lineages representative population from context larger Near Eastern/Southeastern European genetic landscape.Three hundred and eighty samples second most populous ethnic group (Turkish Cypriots) were analysed at 17 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) loci.A haplotype diversity 0.9991 was observed, along number allelic variants,...
Abstract The Çorakyerler fossil locality in Anatolia reveals unique faunal elements. This study introduces Hystrix kayae sp. nov., a new Late Miocene porcupine initially classified as Yavuz et al. , 2018. finding expands our knowledge of Anatolian porcupines, bringing the total number known species to three. H. nov. is larger than aryanensis and exhibits greater upper cheek tooth crown height. Its morphology differs from depereti it possesses distinctive U‐shaped choanae unlike primigenia ....
Investigating changes in temporal bone pneumatization (TBP) and paranasal sinus volumes (PSV) across different eras may help understanding not only skull anatomy but also pathophysiology of chronic otitis media sinusitis, respectively, which are common health problems.
Abstract. We describe here five new bovid crania from the Çorakyerler fossil site (Tüglu Formation, Çankırı Basin, north-central Anatolia, Turkey), fauna of which is dated by magneto- and biostratigraphy to late Miocene, around Vallesian–Turolian boundary. The material assigned a taxon medium-to-large size, Gangraia anatolica gen. sp. nov., characterized horn cores that are long, keelless, compressed, obliquely inserted on frontals, transversally ridged, moderately diverging each other,...
ABSTRACTFossil 'ovibovin' bovids are described from the Upper Miocene of Çorakyerler (north-central Anatolia). Two taxa have been recognized: predominant Criotherium argalioides, known by several craniodental remains, and less common Hezhengia? cf. inundata, documented a few dentitions. A review C. argalioides records Samos Kemiklitepe D thorough comparison with sample provides new data on morphological metric variability this taxon, as well its chronological geographic range. inundata...
Since widespread applications of microsurgery are being employed for aneurysms, clival tumors, etc., precise knowledge the skull base measurements has become vital, and a study 307 adult skulls--130 female 177 male--has been undertaken. Measurements were made between landmarks chosen in accordance with Lang 1983 our average values similar to his series, closer data. There was no significant difference right left sides skull.
Cumhuriyetin yüzüncü yılında insanlık tarihinin değişimine damgasını vuran Anadoluvius turkae’nin yer aldığı Çorakyerler, Çankırı ilinin merkez ilçesinde alıyor. Çorakyerler Geç Miyosen dönemine yani yaklaşık 9 milyon yıl öncesine tarihlenen bir fosil mevkisidir. Burada yıllardır yürütülen sistemli kazılar sonucunda 43 türe ait binlerce tanımlanabilir numaralı buluntu ortaya çıkarıldı. Bu buluntuları arasında Carnivor, Artiodactyl, Perissodactyl ve Primat takımlarına çok önemli yerel olarak...
Amaç: Adli Antropoloji’de, insan kemiklerindeki kırıklar, ezikler, kesikler ve delikler analiz edilerek travma çeşidi, ölüm şekli buna bağlı muhtemelölüm nedeni tahminleri yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, travmaya bireylerin kırıkları, BT kullanarak perimortem süreçte incelemek, kırıkların ölümle ilişkisini belirlemek adli antropolojik raporlardaki tanımlamalarının güvenilirliğini test etmektir. Gereç Yöntem: materyali, 20.02.2016-29.11.2017 tarihleri arasında ölen 23’ü erkek 7’si kadın,...
Amaç: İnsan iskeletlerinde görülen travma bulgularının tanımlanması kişilerin günlük yaşamlarında, ölüm zamanı veya sonrasında başlarından geçen travmatik olaylar hakkında bilgi edinmek açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Minnetpınarı ve Güllüdere arkeolojik kazılarında bulunan antik dönem insan iskeletlerindeki travmaları belirlemek, bu patolojik durumlara neden olan mekanizmaları anlamak adına adli antropolojik incelemelerdeki özellikleri ile karşılaştırmak dönemde yaşamış iki...
