Dental anthropology examines tooth morphology—including crown and root traits, ontogeny, asymmetry, sex dimorphism, genetic expression, and geographic variation—to elucidate human population history. The authors develop a methodological framework for using tooth morphology to reconstruct late Pleistocene and Holocene human population history. Acknowledgements Prologue 1.
