The development of bite force resistance and cranial form in Neanderthals and modern humans (2023)
Thesis
Genochio, L. (2022). The development of bite force resistance and cranial form in Neanderthals and modern humans. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4320533

The general aim of the thesis is to understand how biting mechanics interact with cranial form to impact post-natal craniofacial ontogeny in modern humans and Neander-thals. To this end, CT scans of ontogenetic samples of 12 Neanderthal and 63 modern... Read More about The development of bite force resistance and cranial form in Neanderthals and modern humans.

Craniofacial growth and development in modern humans and Neanderthals (2020)

Landi, F. (2020). Craniofacial growth and development in modern humans and Neanderthals. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222958

This thesis assesses craniofacial growth, development and the dynamics of developmental interactions among cranial regions in modern humans and Neanderthals. To these ends, virtual segmentation, landmarking and Geometric Morphometrics (GM) are applie... Read More about Craniofacial growth and development in modern humans and Neanderthals.

A finite element study of the human cranium : the impact of morphological variation on biting performance (2013)
Thesis
Toro-Ibacache, M. V. (2013). A finite element study of the human cranium : the impact of morphological variation on biting performance. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215682

This thesis investigated the relationship between craniofacial morphology and masticatory mechanics using finite element analysis (FEA). Chapter 1 is a literature review of the relevant background: bone mechanics, jaw-elevator muscle anatomy, imaging...

Cranial form evolution and functional adaptations to diet among papionins : a comparative study combining quantitative genetics, geometric morphometrics, and finite element analysis (2013)
Thesis
Prôa, A. M. G. P. R. (2013). Cranial form evolution and functional adaptations to diet among papionins : a comparative study combining quantitative genetics, geometric morphometrics, and finite element analysis. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215158

This thesis aims to study the evolution of cranial form and its biomechanical adaptation to the function of feeding in papionins, a group of primates with well-established phylogeny, large variations in cranial form, and well known ecologies and diet...
