Fossil Teeth Throw Light on Evolution

A research team of scientists from the University of Zurich (Switzerland), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (Grenoble, France), and the Georgian National Museum (Georgia), used synchrotron imaging to study the dental development of a near-adult fossil of an early Homo from the Dmanisi site in Georgia, dated around 1.77 million years ago. Their study offers hints into the evolution of the extended period of growth in humans.
