Despite environmental conditions and a resource structure in the coastal zone that would have sustained a less mobile lifestyle, the archaeological record in both coast and interior refl ects a long-term commitment to moving on.

Analysis of the lithics shows show that Puritjarra rock shelter was used more intensively over time, with significant shifts in the character of occupation at 18,000, 7,500 and 800 B.P., reflecting significant reorganization of activities across the landscape. The same generalized flake and core technology appears to have been used for over 30 millennia with only limited change in artefact typology over this period.

The classic developmental models for shape regulation, known as the ‘regional field’ and ‘dental clone’ models, were inspired by the human dentition, where it is known that the last tooth in each series is the one commonly absent. The mouse, as a valuable experimental model, has provided data to test these models and more recently, based on spatial‐temporal gene expression data, the ‘dental homeobox code’ was proposed to specify regions and regulate tooth shape. We have attempted to combine these hypotheses in a new model of the combinatorial homeobox gene expression pattern with the clone and field theories in one of ‘co‐operative genetic interaction’. This also explains the genetic absence of teeth in humans ascri...
Ontogenetic development of the holocephalan dentition: Morphological transitions of dentine in the absence of teeth

Evolution of the dentition in holocephalans (Chondrichthyes) through tissue disparity

However, the dentition of extant holocephalans is very different from that of the elasmobranchs, lacking individual tooth renewal, but comprising dental plates made entirely of self-renewing dentine. This renewal of all tissues occurs at the postero-lingual plate surface, as a function of their statodont condition. The fossil record of the holocephalans illuminates multiple different trends in the dentition, including shark-like teeth through to those with dentitions completely lacking individual teeth. Different taxa illustrate developmental retention of teeth but with fusion in their serial development. Dentine of different varieties comprises these teeth and composite dental plates, whose histology includes vascularized tubes within coronal dentine, merging with basal trabecular dentine. In this coronal vascularized dentine extensive hypermineralization forms a wea...

Holocephalan (Chondrichthyes) dental plates with hypermineralized dentine as a substitute for missing teeth through developmental plasticity

Many adult squaliforms have blade-like teeth, either on both jaws or restricted to the lower jaw, forming a continuous, serrated blade along the jaw margin. These teeth are replaced as a single unit and successor teeth lack the alternate arrangement present in other elasmobranchs. Micro-CT scans of embryos of squaliforms and a related outgroup (Pristiophoridae) revealed that the squaliform dentition pattern represents a highly modified version of tooth replacement seen in other clades. Teeth of Squalus embryos are arranged in an alternate pattern, with successive tooth rows containing additional teeth added proximally. Asynchronous timing of tooth production along the jaw and tooth loss prior to birth cause teeth to align in oblique sets containing teeth from subsequent rows; these become parallel to the jaw margin during ontogeny, so that adult Squalus has functional tooth rows comprising obliquely stacked teeth...

Lungfish dentitions were particularly diverse and have been afocus of study for many years. Although diverse, all dentitions can be derived from a toothplated dentition, where components of this dentition, in terms of tooth structures and the processes controlling development, have become dissociated and free to vary. Despite previous suggestions that lungfish dentitions are not homologous to dentitions in other sarcopterygian and actinopterygian taxa (osteichthyans), new research on Neoceratodus forsteri indicates several shared similarities in terms of genes involved in dental patterning, tooth origin and positioning on the jaw, and contribution of neural crest cells to tooth development. Future research should expand on these early results,and continue particularly to study genes from the ‘core dental gene network’, found in other fishes
