"...from an allometric point of view, H. longi [H. daliensis sensu @ChrisStringer65] is related to
H. sapiens by ontogenetic scaling. Like H. neanderthalesis, H. longi can be conceived as a peramorphic form with respect to H. sapiens."

New @thePeerJ publication from my PhD work: https://t.co/V6LPnJsuYF. @jemilyr and I evaluated the influence of CT/surface scans on finite element data using a variety of reptile skulls.
