Dental cementum virtual histology of Neanderthal teeth from Krapina (Croatia, 130–120 kyr): an informed estimate of age, sex and adult stressors
The evolution of modern human reproductive scheduling is an aspect of our life history that
remains vastly uncomprehended. The present work aims to address this gap by validating a
non-destructive cutting-edge methodology to infer adult life-history events on modern teeth
with known life history and then applying it to fossil specimens. We use phase-contrast
synchrotron X-ray microtomography to visualize the dental cementum of 21 specimens: nine
contemporary humans; 10 Neanderthals from Krapina (Croatia, 130–120 kyr); one Neolithic …
