✦ Synopsis

In a pioneering study on the Pithecanthropus IV cranium, radiologist Jan Wind laid the foundations of CT-based analysis of fossil hominids. 1 A major incentive of his research was to shed light on fossil inner ear structures. As ''parts of the microphones of recorders that were, in fact, operating during the hominids' lifetime,'' these structures were expected to permit inferences about the vocalization of the senders. 2 Christoph P.E. Zollikofer, originally trained as a zoologist, is a research scientist at the

The primary aim of this contribution consists in providing a "taxonomy" of the computational tools and concepts that are currently available to tackle morphological problems in paleoanthropology. The second aim is to show that there are mutual links between the three aspects of computation. In paleo

A computer program has been developed to perform uncertainty analysis calculations based on user input of the data reduction equation, nominal values of the variables in the equation, and uncertainty estimates for each variable. The code is based on techniques consistent with those recommended in th
