Excellent- More about Bone Histology: An Anthropological Perspective
Bone and tooth microstructure are essential for constructing the biological profile of an individual or individuals within a population. Bone Histology: An Anthropological Perspective provides a comprehensive discussion of the application of methods, current theories, and future directions in hard tissue research related to anthropological questions. Topics discussed include skeletal growth and development, bone modeling, dental hard tissues, age estimation, cortical bone biomechanics, histotaphonomy, paleopathology, and archaeological origin. The book offers an overview of the current state of research and potential applications in anthropology and other fields that employ a histological approach to the study of hard tissues.

Understanding the intricate microstructure of bone and teeth is crucial in constructing the biological profile of individuals or populations within a community. Bone Histology: An Anthropological Perspective, a comprehensive compilation of esteemed authors with extensive experience in various aspects of hard tissue histology, delves into the application of methods, current theories, and future directions in hard tissue research related to anthropological inquiries.
The book encompasses a wide range of topics, providing a thorough exploration of the biology underlying skeletal growth and development, the intricacies of bone modeling, the histological characteristics of dental hard tissues, the use of histological analysis for human identification, age estimation, and distinguishing between human and nonhuman bone. Additionally, it discusses the biomechanics of cortical bone, the significance of histotaphonomy in taphonomic inquiry, the application of light microscopy in paleopathology, the histological study of bone tissue of archaeological origin, and the technological aspects of hard tissue histology, including laboratory requirements and high-resolution imaging.
While the physical remains of humans often limit the available data to skeletal material, these hard tissues serve as invaluable sources of information about the biological processes undergone during an individual's lifetime. This volume serves as an overview of the current state of research and potential applications in the field of anthropology, shedding light on the rich insights that can be gained from studying the microstructure of bone and teeth.
