What do these graphs tell you about the evolution of brain volume? What questions does this raise? How would you frame these as hypotheses? How would you test them? How would you measure tooth size? Should this be done relative to the skull size?
For your skull, measure the occlusal (flattened top) areas of the post canine teeth. How variable is this between teeth? What is the total surface area available? How flat are these surfaces? how do the teeth compare? How does the estimated bite force compare?
What do these observations tell you about the diet? Again, what questions does this raise, and how would you frame them hypotheses and test them?
