Project
This project examines the two primary tissues of primate teeth, enamel and dentine to 1) improve our understanding of the processes underlying tooth shape, and 2) use tooth structure to contribute to our understanding of the evolutionary history of humans (including our fossil relatives). This research covers the whole period of human evolution and examines fossils from Africa, Europe and Asia.
