Nanoindentation mapping of the mechanical properties of human molar tooth enamel.
- J. L. Cuy, A. Mann, K. Livi, M. Teaford, T. P. Weihs
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Archives of oral biology
- 1 April 2002
The mechanical behavior of dental enamel has been the subject of many investigations. Initial studies assumed that it was a more or less homogeneous material with uniform mechanical properties. Now… Expand
Dental microwear texture analysis shows within-species diet variability in fossil hominins
- R. S. Scott, P. Ungar, +4 authors A. Walker
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 4 August 2005
Reconstructing the diets of extinct hominins is essential to understanding the paleobiology and evolutionary history of our lineage. Dental microwear, the study of microscopic tooth-wear resulting… Expand
Dental microwear texture analysis: technical considerations.
- R. S. Scott, P. Ungar, +4 authors A. Walker
- Geology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 October 2006
Dental microwear analysis is commonly used to infer aspects of diet in extinct primates. Conventional methods of microwear analysis have usually been limited to two-dimensional imaging studies using… Expand
Dental microwear texture and anthropoid diets.
- R. Scott, M. Teaford, P. Ungar
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physical anthropology
- 1 April 2012
Dental microwear has long been used as evidence concerning the diets of extinct species. Here, we present a comparative baseline series of dental microwear textures for a sample of 21 anthropoid… Expand
Diet and the evolution of the earliest human ancestors.
- M. Teaford, P. Ungar
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 5 December 2000
Over the past decade, discussions of the evolution of the earliest human ancestors have focused on the locomotion of the australopithecines. Recent discoveries in a broad range of disciplines have… Expand
Macrovertebrate Paleontology and the Pliocene Habitat of Ardipithecus ramidus
- T. White, S. Ambrose, +18 authors E. Vrba
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 2 October 2009
A diverse assemblage of large mammals is spatially and stratigraphically associated with Ardipithecus ramidus at Aramis. The most common species are tragelaphine antelope and colobine monkeys.… Expand
Comparative and functional anatomy of Proconsul phalanges from the Kaswanga Primate Site, Rusinga Island, Kenya
- D. Begun, M. Teaford, A. Walker
- Biology
- 1 February 1994
Abstract The fossil remains of nine individuals attributable to the Miocene hominoid genus Proconsul were recovered during 1984 and 1985 from the Kaswanga Primate Site on Rusinga Island, Kenya. Among… Expand
Diet in early Homo : A review of the evidence and a new model of adaptive versatility
- P. Ungar, F. Grine, M. Teaford
- Biology
- 19 September 2006
Several recent studies have stressed the role of dietary change in the origin and early evolution of our genus in Africa. Resulting models have been based on nutrition research and analogy to living… Expand
Molar microwear and dietary reconstructions of fossil cercopithecoidea from the Plio-Pleistocene deposits of South Africa.
- Sireen El-Zaatari, F. Grine, M. Teaford, H. Smith
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of human evolution
- 1 August 2005
The South African Plio-Pleistocene cave deposits have yielded a diverse cercopithecoid fauna. In this study, the possible dietary proclivities of these extinct species are examined using details of… Expand
Quantitative differences in dental microwear between primate species with different diets and a comment on the presumed diet of Sivapithecus.
- M. Teaford, A. Walker
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physical anthropology
- 1 June 1984
Studies of dental microwear have been used to relate tooth form to function in a variety of recent and extinct mammals. Probably the most important aspect of microwear analysis is the possibility of… Expand
