A new tool for skeletal sex estimation based on measurements of the human os coxae is presented using skeletons from a metapopulation identified adult individuals twelve independent population samples. For reliable estimation, posterior probability greater than 0.95 was considered to be classification threshold: below this value, estimates are indeterminate. By providing free software, we aim develop an even more disseminated method estimation.Ten metric variables collected 2,040 ossa coxa...
Background The question of whether symbolically mediated behavior is exclusive to modern humans or shared with anatomically archaic populations such as the Neandertals hotly debated. At Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France, Châtelperronian levels contain Neandertal remains and large numbers personal ornaments, decorated bone tools colorants, but it has been suggested that this association reflects intrusion symbolic artifacts from overlying Protoaurignacian and/or underlying Mousterian....
Abstract This study presents Anthropological Facial Approximation in Three Dimensions ( AFA 3D), a new computerized method for estimating face shape based on computed tomography CT ) scans of 500 French individuals. soft tissue depths are estimated age, sex, corpulence, and craniometrics, projected using reference planes to obtain the global facial appearance. Position eyes, nose, mouth, ears inferred from cranial landmarks through geometric morphometrics. The 100 cutaneous then used warp...
The origins of Homo , as well the diversity and biogeographic distribution early species, remain critical outstanding issues in paleoanthropology. Debates about recognition first appearance dates, taxonomic within are particularly important for determining role that southern African taxa may have played genus. correct identification remains also has implications reconstructing phylogenetic relationships between species Australopithecus Paranthropus links erectus . We use microcomputed...
Phylogenetic relationships among extinct hominoids (apes and humans) are controversial due to pervasive homoplasy the incompleteness of fossil record. The bony labyrinth might contribute this debate, as it displays strong phylogenetic signal other mammals. However, potential vestibular apparatus for reconstruction apes remains understudied. Here we test quantify embedded in morphology extant anthropoids (monkeys, two (Oreopithecus Australopithecus) captured by a deformation-based 3D...
Abstract Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal populations occupied Eurasia for at least 250,000 years prior to the arrival of anatomically modern humans. While a considerable body archaeological research has focused on material culture and subsistence strategies, little attention been paid relationship between regionally specific cultural trajectories their associated existing fundamental ecological niches, nor how latter varied across periods climatic variability. We examine record naturally...
The Iron Age period occupies an important place in French history because the Gauls are regularly presented as direct ancestors of extant population. We documented here genomic diversity communities originating from six regions. 49 acquired genomes permitted us to highlight absence discontinuity between Bronze and groups France, lending support a cultural transition linked progressive local economic changes rather than massive influx allochthone groups. Genomic analyses revealed strong...
Transitions from foraging to food-production represent a worldwide turning point in recent human history. In the Middle Nile Valley this cultural shift occurred between sixth and beginning of fifth millennium BCE. Significant craniodental morphological differences remain inadequately tested by biometric analyses ancestry may reflect population origins or diet change last hunter-fisher-gatherers (Mesolithic) first food-producers (Neolithic). Moreover, with no ancient DNA data for region very...
The mean measure of divergence is a dissimilarity between groups individuals described by dichotomous variables. It well suited to datasets with many missing values, and it generally used compute distance matrices represent phenograms. Although often in biological anthropology archaeozoology, this method suffers from lack implementation common statistical software. A package for the R software, AnthropMMD, presented here. Offering dynamic graphical user interface, first one dedicated Smith's...
Zinc is incorporated into enamel, dentine and cementum during tooth growth. This work aimed to distinguish between the processes underlying Zn incorporation distribution. These include different mineralisation processes, physiological events around birth, ingestion with diet, exposure oral environment life diagenetic changes fossil teeth post-mortem. Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence (SXRF) was used map zinc distribution across longitudinal polished ground sections of both deciduous permanent...
