Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 1001-1003, July 2026.
There have been numerous past calls for studies to examine pubertal development, rather than just age, in developmental research. These calls are timely and appropriate given the significant effects of pubertal development on a range of internalizing (e.g., eating disorders, depression) and externalizing (e.g., antisocial behavior) disorders.

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,
