In this study we use mouse and baboon mandibular data to determine if, and to what degree, morphological homology corresponds with genetic homology. Understanding the association between genetic and morphological homology will help us to determine how the genotype-to-phenotype map corresponds between species… [FULL ABSTRACT]

The human occipital bone is often viewed as a single osseous element, though it is a fusion of five major skeletal elements. The basioccipital, L and R exoccipitals, and supraoccipital are all formed endochondrally, while the interparietal forms intramembranously...[FULL ABSTRACT][POSTER]
Lawson HA, Lesk AM, Miller W, and Weiss KM. 2006. A comparative genomics approach to primate craniofacial evolution. The American Journal of Physical Anthropology. 129(S42):119.
Changes in primate craniofacial size and shape are well documented, providing much information on both the tempo and the mode of hominid evolution. However, until the fundamental molecular factors underlying these changes are understood, knowledge of hominid skull evolution is limited… [FULL ABSTRACT]
Hill C. Three-dimensional analysis of temporal bone pneumatization patterns in olive baboons. The American Journal of Physical Anthropology 132(S44):129.in press
While most cercopithecines lack paranasal sinuses, extensive pneumatization is present in the baboon temporal bone. Since pneumatization is used as a character in phylogenetic analysis, understanding normal patterns of morphological variation and symmetry in temporal bone pneumatization is necessary… [FULL ABSTRACT]
Lawson HA, Hardison R, King D, Martin J, Miller W, and Weiss K. Examining polymorphism and divergence in non-coding features of craniofacial genes. The American Journal of Physical Anthropology 132(S44):152. in press
Until the molecular factors underlying primate craniofacial size and shape change are understood, knowledge of hominid skull evolution remains limited. Craniofacial development involves hundreds of genes, organized into networks, creating and shaping the whole in space and time… [FULL ABSTRACT]
Richtsmeier JT, Weiss KM, Buchanan A, Walker A, Jablonski N, Frazier BC, Willmore KE, Lawson H, Yan P, Hill CA, Roseman CC, Cheverud JM, Falk D, Hildebolt CF, and Rogers J. Developmental genetic basis of primate craniofacial variation and human origins. The American Journal of Physical Anthropology 132(S44):198. in press
We describe an integrative, collaborative, and multidisciplinary project aimed at understanding the developmental genetic basis of the evolution of craniofacial variation in the genus Homo. We have launched a project that identifies the dimensions of natural craniofacial development, variation and evolution using baboon skulls… [FULL ABSTRACT]

The genetic basis of phenotypic integration in baboon and mouse craniomandibular morphology with implications for human cranial evolution. The American Journal of Physical Anthropology 132(S44):202. in press
Here we present results of a quantitative genetic study of cranial morphology in a pedigreed population of baboons and mandibular morphology in the F10 generation of an advanced intercross breeding design in mice… [FULL ABSTRACT]

A major determinant of craniofacial form and its evolution is the degree and structure of variation, both at the phenotypic and genetic levels. We hypothesize that differences in variation between sexes are directly related to differences in form… [FULL ABSTRACT] |
