In this review the biomechanical behavior of the mandibular bone tissue, and of the
mandibular bone as a whole, in response to external loading is discussed. A survey is given …

Paranthropus boisei is a hominin taxon with a distinctive cranial and dental morphology. Its
hypodigm has been recovered from sites with good stratigraphic and chronological control …

Biomechanics theory provides new ways to reconstruct behavior in past populations.
Application of biomechanical beam models to long bone diaphyses has proven to be a …

This paper explores the potential of high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) as a
morphometric tool in paleoanthropology. The accuracy of linear measurements of enamel …

The core subject matter of bioarchaeology is the lives of past peoples, interpreted
anthropologically. Human remains, contextualized archaeologically and historically, form the …

The biomechanical events which accompany functional loading of the human mandible are
not fully understood. The techniques normally used to record them are highly invasive …

The proximal half of a hominid femur was recovered from deep within a paleokarst feature at
the Berg Aukas mine, northern Namibia. The femur is fully mineralized, but it is not possible …

Elastic constants, including the elastic modulus, the shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio,
were measured on human craniofacial bone specimens obtained from the supraorbital …

This book describes one of our closest relatives, the orangutan, and the only extant great
ape in Asia. It is increasingly clear that orangutan populations show extensive variation in …

The influence of hard-object feeding on the size and shape of the mandibular corpus was
investigated through a comparative biomechanical analysis of the jaws of adult female …
