Abstract

Lordkipanidze et al. (Research Article, 18 October 2013, p. 326) conclude, from gross morphological comparisons and geometric-morphometric analysis of general shape, that the five hominid crania from Dmanisi in Georgia represent a single regional variant of Homo erectus. However, dental, mandibular, and cranial morphologies all suggest taxic diversity and, in particular, validate the previously named H. georgicus.

摘要

洛德科普潘尼泽等人（研究文章，2013 年 10 月 18 日，第 326 页）得出结论，从格鲁吉亚德马尼西的五个古人类颅骨的大体形态比较和整体形状的几何形态分析来看，它们代表了直立人一个单一的地区变种。然而，牙齿、下颌和颅骨形态都表明存在分类多样性，特别是验证了先前命名的 H. georgicus。
