by Monika Tanzer — last modified 2008-04-16 15:32

Workshop Growth, variation, and structure of the craniofacial complex in human evolution This EVAN intensive training course is dedicated to EVAN fellows, consortium staff members and other researchers, who are interested in principles in craniofacial biology (growth and development), evolutionary anatomy and paleoanthropology. The workshop includes methods and tools in histology of bone surfaces, paleohistological image analysis, light and electron microscopy, high resolution cast preparation, standard morphometrics and visualizatin.

Programme

Workshop on craniofacial development

Growth, variation, and structure of the craniofacial complex in human evolution.

28-30 May, 2008

Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC),

Madrid.

Meeting Room (Biology wing)

Calle José Guitierrez Abascal 2

28006 Madrid

Official name: Bone histology and growth (CSIC) + growth and development of the craniofacial complex (DHAL)

Objectives: This EVAN intensive training course is dedicated to EVAN fellows, consortium staff members and other researchers, who are interested in principles in craniofacial biology (growth and development), evolutionary anatomy and paleoanthropology. The workshop includes methods and tools in histology of bone surfaces, paleohistological image analysis, light and electron microscopy, high resolution cast preparation, standard morphometrics and visualization.
