Extended Data Fig. 7: Molar morphology of ThI-GH-10978.
From: Early hominins from Morocco basal to the Homo sapiens lineage
Principal component plots of enamel-dentine junction (EDJ) shape of the first deciduous molar (top left), second deciduous molar (top right), and first permanent molar (bottom) from the ThI-GH-10978 mandible. The EDJ shape of all molars is different, and approximately equidistant from H. neanderthalensis and modern H. sapiens. Note that the H. antecessor second deciduous and first permanent molar are more derived in shape and sit closer to these two taxa.
