What is "morphological"

Usage examples of "morphological".

By using morphological differences in the fossils of hominids to resolve contradictory faunal, stratigraphic, chemical, radiometric, and geomagnetic datings in harmony with a favored evolutionary sequence, paleoanthropologists have allowed their preconceptions to obscure other possibilities.

Even today, the Heidelberg jaw remains somewhat of a morphological mystery.

For a more precise placement of these three human fossils, one can only rely upon, at the present time, their own morphological features in comparison with other better-dated finds elsewhere in China.

This is a very clear exposition of the rationale for morphological dating.

We have carefully analyzed reports about several other Chinese sites, and we find that the same process of morphological dating has been used to temporally separate various kinds of hominids.

What we are insisting on is thisscientists should not propose that the hominids definitely did not coexist simply on the basis of their morphological diversity.

Even after one learns to recognize the highly questionable practice of morphological dating, one may be astonished to note how frequently it is used.

Longdong in Changyang county, Hubei Province, South China, has provided many authorities with a welcome opportunity for unabashed morphological dating.

And so far the range of morphological and ecological expressions examined, amounted to variations on familiar themes.

Dissection revealed no major morphological changes in teleporting, as opposed to normal, animals.

The fetuses of humans and apes resemble each other much more than the adults do, and adult humans have morphological features that make them resemble fetal apes, for example in the shape of the skull and face.

He was chiefly distinguished among men of birth for general obscenity of speech and morphological inventiveness in blasphemy.

I have tried to identify biochemical, morphological and physiological changes occurring in specific regions of the chick brain m the minutes to hours following training on a simple task, to show that the changes are not the results of other aspects of training than memory, to show that blocking the changes prevents the memory, and vice versa, and, finally, to examine the consequences of removing the brain sites of change, either before or after the chick has been trained.

It was a large effect, specific, reproducible and, above all, very amenable to physiological - and later biochemical, pharmacological and morphological - investigation.

Granted all the earlier biochemical and morphological results, the obvious place to look was LPO.
