Patterns Of Variation In The Permanent Maxillary Anterior Tooth Roots: A Different Approach To The Problem Of Anterior Dental Reduction During The Transition From Archaic To Modern Homo Sapiens, Steven P. Paquette

Masters Theses

The following investigation centers upon an attempt to examine the problem of anterior dental reduction during the bio-cultural transition from archaic (Neandertals) to fully modern human forms. By focusing on the nature of dental root variability in the permanent maxillary anterior teeth (I¹-C^-), an endeavor is made to explore the absolute and relative tooth size differences characterizing the comparative samples.
