## Abstract The postcanine dentition of three species of colobus monkeys (__Colobus polykomos polykomos, Procolobus badius badius__ and __Procolobus verus__) is compared metrically for three characters: interdental relations, sexual dimorphism and interspecific relations. Interdental relations reve

## Abstract Published data on tooth size in 48 species of nonβhuman primates have been analyzed to determine patterns of variability in the primate dentition. Average coefficients of variation calculated for all species, with males and females combined, are greatest for teeth in the canine region.
A sample of 82 anterior teeth from Krapina (Croatia) was studied using a light binocular microscope and a scanning electron microscope to document the presence of non-dietary dental scratches. The patterns of distribution, location and orientation of these marks suggest two different aetiologies: sc
## Abstract Although many studies of the permanent dentition have been published, there are still relatively few reports relating to variability within the deciduous dentition. The aim of this study was to provide a detailed description of crown size variability in the deciduous dentition of South
