One of the few uncontested viewpoints in studies of enamel thickness is that the molars of the African apes, Pan and Gorilla, possess "thin" enamel, while Pongo and modern humans possess varying degrees of "thick" enamel, even when interspecific differences in overall body or tooth size are taken in
## Abstract A threeβdimensional reconstruction of the rod profiles seen in inner and outer rat incisor enamel was made from serial 1 ΞΌ cross sections of a decalcified upper incisor. The enamel rod was found to be an elongated structure which travelled incisally relative to its origin and ran contin
## Abstract In addition to evidence for bipedality in some fossil taxa, molar enamel thickness is among the few characters distinguishing (thickβenameled) hominins from the (thinβenameled) African apes. Despite the importance of enamel thickness in taxonomic discussions and a long history of schola
