Mandibular symphysis of large-bodied hominoids.

Human biology - 1 Dec 2005

Sherwood Richard J, Hlusko Leslea J, Duren Dana L, Emch Victoria C, Walker Alan

Abstract excerpt

The hominoid mandibular symphysis has received a great deal of attention from anatomists, human biologists, and paleontologists. Much of this research has focused on functional interpretations of symphyseal shape variation. Here, we examine the two-dimensional cross-sectional shape of the adult mandibular symphysis for 45 humans, 42 chimpanzees, 37 gorillas, and 51 orangutans using eigenshape analysis, an...
