Except for the front end of the dental arch, tooth size remained at approximately the same level throughout the Middle Pleistocene. The Krapina Neanderthals at the end of the last interglacial differed from Homo erectus only in having larger front teeth. From that time on, tooth size in populations at the northern edge of the area of human occupation in the Old World has reduced approximately i...

House mice from 24 Scottish and Faroese islands show positive correlation of skeletal size with island area, conforming to a model of resource limitation in very small islands. Molar size is not correlated with island size, suggesting greater genetic canalization; smaller individuals have larger tooth to body size ratio. The size variation may have a simple genetic basis or may be ecophenotypic...

The goal of this study was to evaluate tooth size discrepancies in Kosovar adolescents according the Bolton’s analysis, and determine differences between gender malocclusion classes. A sample 400 adolescents, aged 13–19 years with various categories (class I, II, III) Angle’s classification, randomly selected. anterior ratio, overall posterior as well distribution were assessed. normality asses...

SEM analysis contains researches of tooth enamel surfaces of two populations. First group of samples is tooth enamel of prehistorically ancestor from Vucedol and the second group of samples is enamel of modern Croatian citizen. Even on small number of human teeth samples from cooperage site of Vucedol (3,000 BC) and today's Croatian people, we can conclude about chewing biometry of prehistorica...
