Abstract

Teeth convey information about a number of interesting and potentially significant biological phenomena. Because the development of the dentition is closely related to that of the individual possessing it, teeth may reveal aspects of somatic development and life history (Dean et al., 1986, 2001; Smith, 1989; Smith et al., 1994, 1995; Bermúdez de Castro et al., 1999; Kelley and Smith, 2003; Ramirez Rozzi and Bermúdez de Castro, 2004; Nargolwalla et al., 2005). These revelations, in turn, may be of some importance to questions relating to the taxonomy of extinct hominins.
