This review paper relies on two studies we conducted on the classification of human dental morphological data by means of Artificial neural networks (Anns). Analysed samples included Middle pleistocene to early holocene populations across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. At that time, our research was directed to the classification of a recently discovered dental sample (Tabun cave, Israel) that was compared to a reference database composed of a large number of different samples in order to confirm its belonging to the neanderthal teeth morphotype.

Abstract
This review paper relies on two studies we conducted on the classification of human dental morphological data by means of Artificial neural networks (Anns). Analysed samples included Middle pleistocene to early holocene populations across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. At that time, our research was directed to the classification of a recently discovered dental sample (Tabun cave, Israel) that was compared to a reference database composed of a large number of different samples in order to confirm its belonging to the neanderthal teeth morphotype.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
