Dental development of australopiths and early Homo was faster than modern humans. The Atapuerca fossils (Spain) fill a barely known gap in human evolution, spanning ~1.2 to ~0.4 million years (Ma), during which H. sapiens and Neandertal dental growth characteristics may have developed. We report here perikymata counts, perikymata distributions and periodicities of all teeth belonging to the TE9 level of Sima del Elefante, level TD6.2 of Gran Dolina (H. antecessor) and Sima de los Huesos. We found some components of dental growth in the Atapuerca fossils resembled more recent H. sapiens. Mosaic evolution of perikymata counts and distribution generate three distinct clusters: H. antecessor, Sima de los Huesos and H. sapiens. date: 2020 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-61659-y oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC7069994 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1773226 doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-61659-y pii: 10.1038/s41598-020-61659-y lyricists_name: Dean, Michael lyricists_id: MCDEA52 actors_name: Dean, Michael actors_id: MCDEA52 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Scientific Reports volume: 10 number: 1 article_number: 4665 event_location: England issn: 2045-2322 citation: Modesto-Mata, M; Dean, MC; Lacruz, RS; Bromage, TG; García-Campos, C; Martínez de Pinillos, M; Martín-Francés, L; ...
