Dissertation Research: Nasal Morphology in Western Old World Later Pleistocene Hominids and the Origins of Modern Humans

现代欧洲人与尼安德特人的关系（如果有关系的话）是人类学中的一个重大争议，尼安德特人生活在大约10万到3万年前的欧洲。一些人声称尼安德特人是欧洲人的祖先，而另一些人则说尼安德特人是被入侵的欧洲人的祖先所检验的。最近，关于世界各地现代人起源的类似争论再次激发了这一古老的争论——是否有一种来自非洲的现代入侵者在世界范围内取代了更早、更原始的人类，或者是否到处都有一种向现代性的逐渐转变（“取代”vs“取代”）。“区域连续性”理论)。本论文项目提供了化石和现代人类颅骨的鼻腔解剖结构的详细比较，这将有助于解决这一问题。脸和鼻子被广泛认为是人口关系的关键指标，本研究将利用现存的主要例子。这是一个构思非常周全的项目，而且要资助的研究生在该领域已经是知名的有趣人物。* * * P人类学\ jfried \ \ 9312567。abs W ^_ 西弗吉尼亚州v + F F u v ~ W u v j F F P v F P v F P u v ^ v tM F和 ; ^ F, G, W和 ; & 9 u和9 o u ^, G的t, G t N t0W F Pj RP | P F P P P W W v v v v F P P F t t = v j W F + RP t4 N问v v R W F P - v v j Wj j Wj jv 2 _​bbb90 _ ！!!D _ (Times New Roman Symbol & Arial " h 6C E6C E = Jonathan Friedlaender

ABSTRACT P.I. Erik Trinkaus/Robert Franciscus SBR-9312567 A major controversy in anthropology surrounds the relationship (if any) of modern Europeans to Neanderthals, who lived in Europe from about 100,000 to 30,000 years ago. Some claim the Neanderthals were ancestors of Europeans, while others say the Neanderthals were exerminated by the invading ancestors of Europeans. Recently, this old controversy has once again been energized by a similar argument about the origins of modern people everywhere - whether there was a world-wide replacement of earlier, more primitive sorts of humans by modern invaders out of Africa, or whether there was a gradual shift towards modernity everywhere (the "replacement" vs. "regional continuity" theories). This dissertation project provides for a detailed comparison of nasal anatomy among fossil and modern human crania, which will aid in resolving this issue. The face and nose are widely recognized as being key indicators of population relationships, and this study will utilize the major extant examples. It is a very well conceived project, and the graduate student to be supported is already known as an interesting figure in the field. *** P\anthro\jfried\9312567.abs W ^_ WV+ F F v u v ~ W F u v j F V v F P V F P V F P F u^ v V tM F & ^ F & G & W & &9 u &9O u ^ & G` t & G` t N F t0W F Pj RP | P F P " P " P W v v v v W F P F P F t t= v j W F + RP t4 N Q V R V R W F PV v j Wj j v j Wj j v j 2 _ | 9 _ ! ! !
