Fig. 8From: Identifying the homology of the short human pisiform and its lost ossification centerRelationship between dental eruption stages and pisiform ossification number by taxonomic group. Dental eruption stages corresponding to specimens with primary ossification centers only (red) and epiphyses at any stage of ossification (blue). The single human pisiform ossification (purple) is present at the same dental eruption stages as epiphyses of non-human taxaBack to article page
