Inferring dentition and diet in extinct great apes by looking at extant great

Paper instructions:
The aim of the research proposal:
Making inferences about the dentition and diet of extinct great apes from the Miocene by looking at the dentition and diet of extant great apes including bonobo, chimpanzee and gorilla ...
- dentition should include micro-wear on teeth and time of micro-wear;
- diet should include changes in habitat and environmental variability, nature of diet and dietary changes, and nature of and reliance on fallback foods; and
- interpretations of similar proposals/studies …
Concluding: What characteristics/relationships exist between dental development, diet and life histories of extinct and extant great apes?
