Sellos con la efigie de Adolf Hitler de 1941-1942 (22 x 26 mm.)

Durante el periodo del Tercer Reich, Adolf Hitler fue representado en numerosas ocasiones en los sellos postales. Incluso hubo tiradas conmemorativas de sellos que celebraban su cumpleaños casi todos los años. Sin embargo, fueron más usuales los sellos donde simplemente aparecía su efigie mirando hacia la derecha. Aquí os voy a enseñar cómo diferenciar sellos … Read more

Short and long period growth markers of enamel formation distinguish European Pleistocene hominins

Characterizing dental development in fossil hominins is important for distinguishing between them and for establishing where and when the slow overall growth and development of modern humans appeared. 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.
