Abstract :The measurcments and indices of the uppcr and lowcr decidu ous teeth of the Shanidar infant are listed in tables i and 2. As was stated bcfore the robustness values (length X breadth) of the decidu ous teeth of the Shanidar infant are smaller than those of the Nean derthalians, cxcept in three teeth and are in the range of those of modern Man. 4 Again as was recorded bcfore most of the deciduous teeth have highcr height-lcngth indices than those of the Neander thalians and thus resemble those of the modern Man.5 Hovvever, while most of the deciduous teeth of the Shanidar infant are smaller and relatively higher than those of the Neanderthalians, a statistical study of the measurcments and indices showed that only a few of the differences between the Shanidar infant and the Neanderthalians from Europe and Palestine are statistically significantKeywords : A FURTHER, PALAEOLITHIC, SHANİDAR
