This project aims to advance understanding of the evolution of human dentition using an innovative approach that integrates sophisticated 3D digital modelling with engineering tools. Neanderthals are our closest extinct human relatives that inhabited Eurasia from about 230,000 to 28,000 years ago. However, their protruding faces, large noses and big anterior teeth, raise questions about why these people look so different from us. This project aims to fill this gap in human knowledge about our evolutionary history, and to enhance the international visibility of Australian research in palaeoanthropology and dental biomechanics.

该项目旨在通过将复杂的3D数字建模与工程工具相结合的创新方法来促进对人类牙列进化的理解。尼安德特人是我们最近的灭绝人类亲戚，大约在23万至28,000年前居住在欧亚大陆。然而，他们突出的脸，大鼻子和大门牙，提出了为什么这些人看起来与我们如此不同的问题。该项目旨在填补人类对我们进化历史的知识空白，并提高澳大利亚在古人类学和牙科生物力学研究方面的国际知名度。
