Dental caries in human evolution: frequency of carious lesions in South African fossil hominins

2019-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Caries frequencies in South African fossil hominins were observed and compared with other hominin samples. Species studied include Paranthropus robustus , Homo naledi , Australopithecus africanus , early Homo and A. sediba . Teeth were viewed macroscopically with Micro-CT scans used to confirm lesions. Position and severity of each lesion were also noted and described. For all South African fossil hominin spe...
