Exploring facial gracilization through an integrated approach of mandibular ontogeny: preliminary results from chimpanzees
The human face is characterized by a more gracile morphology compared to the more robust features observed in the human fossil record and among our ape relatives. Understanding the mechanisms of growth that lead to adult morphology is key to comprehending the timing and potential causes of the faci...

| Riassunto: | The human face is characterized by a more gracile morphology compared to the more robust features observed in the human fossil record and among our ape relatives. Understanding the mechanisms of growth that lead to adult morphology is key to comprehending the timing and potential causes of the facial changes that occurred during human evolution. Documenting structural changes during ontogeny, such as shape changes, cortical thickening, and bone modeling patterns, can help identify phenotypic... |
