Developmental implications of dichotomous ossification sequences in the wrist region
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1972-07)
As shown in radiographs of 3,764 children of European ancestry under 11 years of age, there are 55 dichotomous (present-absent/absent-present) ossification sequences for nine wrist region centers in boys and 48 such sequences ...
Anterior dental cutting in the Laetolil hominids and the evolution of the bicuspid P 3 Research supported by a University of Michigan Rackham grant.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-08)
The younger Laetolil hominids provide evidence of a unique anterior cutting complex with a chisel-like action occurring between the lingual-distal C face and a transverse ridge on the P 3 perpendicular to it, extending ...

Independence of brachymesophalangia-5 from brachymesophalangia-5 with cone mid-5
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1972-03)
Analysis of hand radiographs of juvenile siblings of juvenile propositi indicates that brachymesophalangia-5 alone (without cones) is separately inherited without apparent sex bias while brachymesophalangia-5 with the ...

Some implications of relative biomechanical neck length in hominid femora 1 Research underlying this study was supported by NSF Grants GS-33035 and BNS 75-21756.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1978-02)
Demonstration of a size-based influence on relative biomechanical neck length of the femur predicts relatively longer necks for smaller femurs. Fossil hominids through the middle Pleistocene appear to have relatively longer ...

Prenatal origins of carpal fusions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1976-09)
As shown in 138 embryos and fetuses in the 40–285 mm crownrump length range, carpal and carpal-metacarpal “fusions” arise from incomplete separation of the cartilaginous precursors rather than from failure of initiation, ...
Posterior tooth size, body size, and diet in South African gracile australopithecines This research was supported by NSF grant GS-33035.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1973-11)
A model relating relative size of the posterior teeth to diet is suggested for forest and savanna primates and Homo. Relative tooth size is calculated for the South African gracile australopithecine sample using posterior ...
Childhood retardation resulting in reduction of adult body size due to lesser adolescent skeletal delay
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1970-11)
The skeletal maturation of 7972 rural children from the six Central American nations, aged one month through 22 years, is evaluated. The results suggest that retardation in skeletal maturation during childhood is significantly ...
