title: Non-destructive 3D microscopy in the study of patterns of biological adaptation among fossil and recent Homo
abstract: We apply non-destructive volumetric technique for evaluation of vascular net density in compact bone. Segmentation of Haversian canals and accurate estimation of their relative volume fraction gives the opportunity to estimate the density and capacity of the vascular system of the bone tissue in a proxy way. Radiological images of dorsal compact of medial and distal phalanges were studied (Neanderthals from Altai and Europe; CroMagnons; recent humans of Arctic and African origin). Results. High
