Three-dimensional point clouds of early modern human anterior dental microwear surfaces.
Each image measures 102x138 μm; total area analyzed was 204x276 μm.
Fig 2.
Data plots with 95% confidence interval ellipses for Neandertals, early modern humans, and bioarchaeological comparative samples.
X-axis and Y-axis displays epLsar and Tfv values, respectively. Upper left: Neandertals (green) and early modern humans (blue) only, other plots show each individual bioarchaeological comparative group in red (labeled at the top), with Neandertals (green) and early modern humans (blue).
