Abstract

These are data that were analyzed for the taxonomic assignments for the 3.75 Ma to 1.09 Ma hominin postcanine teeth from the Usno Formation and the Shungura Formation, Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia. The dataset includes the linear dimensions, the morphological scores, and the 2-dimensional occlusal areas of the postcanine teeth from the Omo. We also include the linear dimensions (mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions) for the comparative sample (hominin fossils that provide important taxonomic context) that were primarily culled from the literature.
