Muscles of Facial Expression in Extinct Species of the Genus Homo

2016-09-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> We display a detailed description of mimetic muscles in extinct human species, framed in comparative and phylogenetic contexts. Using known facial landmarks, we assessed the arrangement of muscles of facial expression in Homo sapiens, neanderthalensis, erectus, heidelbergensis and ergaster . In modern humans, several perioral muscles are proportionally smaller in size (levator labii superioris...
