Neanderthal and Denisova tooth protein variants in present-day humans
Environment parameters, diet and genetic factors interact to shape tooth morphostructure. In the human lineage, archaic and modern hominins show differences in dental traits, including enamel thickness, but variability also exists among living populations. Several polymorphisms, in particular in the non-collagenous extracellular matrix proteins of the tooth hard tissues, like enamelin, are invo...
متن کاملNeanderthal diet at Vindija and Neanderthal predation: the evidence from stable isotopes.
Archeological analysis of faunal remains and of lithic and bone tools has suggested that hunting of medium to large mammals was a major element of Neanderthal subsistence. Plant foods are almost invisible in the archeological record, and it is impossible to estimate accurately their dietary importance. However, stable isotope (delta(13)C and delta(15)N) analysis of mammal bone collagen provides...
متن کاملNeanderthal cannibalism at Moula-Guercy, Ardèche, France.
The cave site of Moula-Guercy, 80 meters above the modern Rhone River, was occupied by Neanderthals approximately 100,000 years ago. Excavations since 1991 have yielded rich paleontological, paleobotanical, and archaeological assemblages, including parts of six Neanderthals. The Neanderthals are contemporary with stone tools and faunal remains in the same tightly controlled stratigraphic and sp...
متن کاملEfficacy of Plaque Control by Tooth Brushing with and without Different Dentifrices: A Clinical Trial
Objective: Microbial plaque is among the main etiologies of periodontal disease, and tooth brushing with toothpaste is the most commonly used method of plaque control. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of tooth brushing with and without three different dentifrices. Methods: Thirty dental students were randomly selected to participate in this clinical trial and were asked to refrain f...
متن کاملRelationship Between Periodontal Disease, Tooth Loss, and Carotid Artery Plaque
Background and Purpose—Chronic infections, including periodontal infections, may predispose to cardiovascular disease. The present study investigates the relationship of periodontal disease and tooth loss with subclinical atherosclerosis. Methods—We enrolled 711 subjects with a mean age of 6669 years and no history of stroke or myocardial infarction in the Oral Infections and Vascular Disease E...
