The reconstruction of diet is important for understanding the paleoecology and evolution of
early hominins. This paper reviews and colligates the fossil evidence for diets of early Homo …

Dental microwear analysis is commonly used to infer aspects of diet in extinct primates.
Conventional methods of microwear analysis have usually been limited to two-dimensional …

Mesowear and microwear analyses use data from worn tooth surfaces as proxies for feeding
ecology. Mesowear is based on gross dental wear and forms over months to years. The …

Dental microwear has long been used as evidence concerning the diets of extinct species.
Here, we present a comparative baseline series of dental microwear textures for a sample of …

Neanderthal diets are reported to be based mainly on the consumption of large and medium
sized herbivores, while the exploitation of other food types including plants has also been …

Recent biomechanical analyses examining the feeding adaptations of early hominins have
yielded results consistent with the hypothesis that hard foods exerted a selection pressure …

Megaherbivorous dinosaurs were exceptionally diverse on the Late Cretaceous island
continent of Laramidia, and a growing body of evidence suggests that this diversity was …

This paper presents and tests a model designed to investigate how off-site herd
management developed in settled pre-historic societies. The model is constructed from data …

This paper provides a theoretical review and a framework of methods for using dental
microwear analysis on deciduous teeth to investigate weaning processes from …

Objective The etiology of dental microwear is incompletely understood, despite copious
documentation of wear patterns from wild and captive specimens across numerous …
