    Area of Science:

    • Anthropology
    • Paleontology
    • Primatology

    Background:

    • Existing research on Torus palatinus lacks comparable morphological details and quantitative data.
    • Standardized methods for describing and quantifying Torus palatinus are needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an economical method for quantifying and describing Torus palatinus.
    • To compare the prevalence of Torus palatinus in different human populations and chimpanzees.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of skulls from Griesheim and Langd (Germany), India, Pakistan.
    • Examination of chimpanzee crania from Eastern Liberia.
    • Morphological description and quantitative registration of Torus palatinus.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Torus palatinus was observed in 32.7% of Griesheim skulls and 34.5% of Langd skulls.
    • Prevalence in Indian and Pakistani crania was 3.7%.
    • Chimpanzee crania from Liberia showed a 17% prevalence, higher than previously reported.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers an efficient approach to Torus palatinus quantification.
    • Significant variations in Torus palatinus prevalence exist between human geographic groups and non-human primates.
