Aim: This study aims to provide insights into the evolutionary adaptation of human, via comparing the craniofacial characteristics of living subjects and ancient skulls from Anatolia.
Material and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) generated 2D cephalometric projections of 32 ancient skulls and well matched lateral cephalometric images of 32 patients were evaluated. Sixteen widely used cephalometric measurements were performed. Intra-class correlation coefficients were used to examine intra-observer reliability. MannWhitney tests and chi-square tests were used to compare cephalometric measurements of the groups.
Results: : The linear measurements of living subjects were smaller than the linear measurements of ancient skulls (p
Key words: Anatolia; ancient populations; craniofacial measurements; cephalograms
