Robin Feeney
I am a physical anthropologist whose research focuses on dental and forensic anthropological applications of human biological variation. My current research involves the quantification of dental tissue thickness and distribution in human teeth using high-resolution microtomography. The analysis of intra-specific sex variation in dental tissue components provides insight into differences between male and female teeth, which is important for assessing sex from unknown individuals and for answering questions relevant to dental development, taxonomy and the evolutionary history of living and extinct primates.
