Uniform, circular, and shallow enamel pitting in hominins: Prevalence, morphological associations, and potential taxonomic significance
This study explores a particular form of enamel pitting originally identified in Paranthropus robustus. We call this uniform, circular, and shallow (U…

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequ...

#Gibbons
are another of those animals that are rarely flattered by
#taxidermy
(many historic specimens were made by taxidermists who had never seen a whole one). This
#gibbon
at the Sorbonne Zoology Museum has been given a neck-pouch that's bigger than its head.

Great new study in AJBA by Kaita N. Gurian and colleagues showing that multiple researchers can reliably use the same microCT scans for 2D dental measurements with minimal inter-observer error. Excellent news for scan sharing in dental anthropology!

Inter‐Observer Processing and Measurement Error Are Low for 2D Dental Measurements on Shared microCT Scans
Objectives Sharing micro-computed tomographic (μCT) scans of teeth increases data accessibility and reduces the need for repeated scans of any given specimen. However, the use of the same TIFF stack...

Savannah E. Cobb and colleagues show how combining incisor geometry and relief offers a robust dietary proxy in anthropoid primates—outperforming geometry alone. Their findings suggest a mixed-feeding ecology for the fossil platyrrhine Antillothrix:
