P4 EDJ shape variation—complete analysis. (a) PCA plot showing the first two principal components (PCs) of variation in P4 EDJ and CEJ shape. PC1 = 56.7% total variation, PC2 = 10.3%. (b) Surface warps depicting the morphological changes captured by each principal component, with labels indicating a number of important features. A. afr = Australopithecus africanus; H. ere = Homo erectus; H. hab = Homo habilis; H. nal = Homo naledi; H. nea = Homo neanderthalensis; H. sap = Homo sapiens; P. rob = Paranthropus robustus. Surface warp images were created in Avizo 6.3 (https://www.vsg3D.com).
