Human growth evolving: Integrating dental and skeletal proxies of growth to understand ontogeny in Pleistocene Homo

Maja Seselj
Maja Šešelj is currently a post-doc at the Lifespan Health Research Center, Wright State University, under the mentorship of Dr. Dana Duren. Her research focuses on growth and development in modern humans and Pleistocene hominins. Specifically, she is interested in elucidating the relationship between dental development, skeletal growth and life history at the species level, in order to more reliably reconstruct growth and development patterns and life history in fossil hominins. Her thesis research investigated the relationship between dental development and skeletal growth using skeletal collections, but in the future she plans to test these results using longitudinal data on dental and skeletal growth and development and life history from living human populations.
