Article Synopsis
- The study compares craniodental lesions across six species of cercopithecoid primates to understand the prevalence and patterns of these lesions related to their social and ecological factors.
- Findings reveal that male Papio anubis (baboons) exhibited higher lesion rates, particularly associated with anterior teeth and trauma, while some lesion types co-occurred in species like Macaca.
- The research suggests that craniodental lesions in primates may be influenced by social dynamics, dietary factors, and potentially impact their chewing mechanics, drawing parallels to issues seen in humans.
Reading ability in children relates to rhythm perception across modalities.
