Researchers have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signalling pathway can lead to defective structures in tooth enamel. Studies ...

The evolution and development of complex molars as a key innovation in mammals have long been of interest yet remain poorly understood. With reference to century-old theories and modern findings, we ...

New research reveals how genes inherited from Neanderthals and critical developmental markers like PITX2 influence tooth size, shedding light on human evolution and genetic diversity. Study: PITX2 ...

A central problem in paleoanthropology is the identity of the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans ([N-MH] LCA). Recently developed analytical techniques now allow this problem to be ...

The study of dental education and student learning in anatomy has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that bridges traditional didactic instruction with innovative technological approaches.

Sabre-toothed predators – best know from the infamous Smilodon – evolved multiple times across different mammal groups. A new study, published today in Current Biology reveals why: these teeth were ...
