Tooth Development in Human Evolution and Bioarchaeology

Beschreibung

This book addresses key questions in palaeoanthropology and bioarchaeology to examine the unique role of teeth in preserving detailed records of human growth throughout childhood and into adulthood. The text critically reviews theory, assumptions, methods and literature, providing the dental histology background to anthropological studies of both growth rate and growth disruption.
