Human children grow at a uniquely slow pace by comparison with other mammals. When
and where did this schedule evolve? Have technological advances, farming and cities had …

Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions guide tooth development through its early stages and
establish the morphology of the dentin surface upon which enamel will be deposited …

Most of what we know about the timing of human enamel formation comes from radiographic
studies on children of known age. Here, we present new longitudinal data derived from a …

A substantial number of the large, slow-growing fauna on several continents were famously
lost in the Pleistocene extinctions. At present, many slow-growing, long-lived mammals are …

This survey of dental microstructure studies reviews recent methods used to quantify
developmental variables (daily secretion rate, periodicity of long-period lines, extension rate …

This study evaluates two hypotheses that address how Late/Final Jomon period people
responded to early‐life stress using linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and incremental …

We studied the abnormalities in enamel microstructure associated with enamel hypoplasia
in human teeth from the early medieval (5th–7th century AD) cemetery of Barbing, Germany …

Teeth are one of the best preserved and most commonly recovered elements in primate
fossil assemblages. Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic hypotheses often rely on …

Enamel is the structure that covers the entire clinical crown of a tooth. It enables to chew and
crush food, and gives a final shape to the crowns of teeth. To evaluate calcium and …

This study reconstructs incremental enamel development for a sample of modern human
deciduous mandibular (n= 42) and maxillary (n= 42) anterior (incisors and canines) teeth …
