Fig. 7: Metric comparisons of dental remains.
From: Early evolution of small body size in Homo floresiensis
Horizontal crown dimensions of maxillary deciduous canines (dc: a) and mandibular third molars (M3: c), as well as the previously reported mandibular deciduous canines (dc: b). The large crosses in a and b indicate 2 SD ranges for the smallest-toothed modern population as for dc and dc (India66). d Plots of PC scores derived from the normalized Elliptic Fourier Analysis (EFA) of M3 crown contour. Shape differences along PC axes are shown on left teeth for two standard deviations from the origin. Symbols: ‘a’ (orange) = Au. afarensis, ‘a’ (magenta) = Au. africanus, ‘h’ (blue) = H. habilis sensu lato, ‘D’ (orange) = Dmanisi Homo, ‘z’ (violet) = Zhoukoudian H. erectus, ‘S’ (green) = early H. erectus (Sangiran Lower), ‘s’ (green) = early H. erectus (Sangiran Upper), ‘L’ (red) = Liang Bua, ‘S’ (red) = Soa (Mata Menge). ‘x’ = H. sapiens (Japan) for (a) and (b) H. sapiens (Japan) for (c). Specimen numbers are indicated for selected samples in each symbol. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
