    Book description

    All humans share certain components of tooth structure, but show variation in size and morphology around this shared pattern which is studied by dental anthropologists. This book presents the first worldwide synthesis of the global variation in tooth structure in recent populations. It:describes the methods and assumptions used by dental anthropologistsdiscusses the genetic basis of nonmetric dental traitsportrays the geographic variation of tooth crown and root traitsanalyzes dental variation on a global scale paralleling major genetic and craniometric analysesThe book illustrates more than 30 tooth crown and root traits and reviews their biological and genetic underpinnings. This analysis links extinct and extant populations and so serves as a useful tool for elucidating population relationships and histories.
