Pelvic morphology and body size in relation to the preauricular sulcus: Evidence from medieval to modern Iberia

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...

Hyperostosis frontalis interna: Observed patterns, prevalence, and dementia associations in older adults

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a frequently underrecognized condition characterized by overgrowth of the frontal endocranium, most commonly observed in post‐menopausal women. Although its etiology remains unclear, hormonal influences and a possible relationship with neurocognitive changes have been proposed.

Comparative regional stable isotope analysis reveals fluctuations in millet consumption during the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Eastern Adriatic

Scientific Reports
This study presents the largest regional-scale stable isotope investigation of human and faunal remains spanning the Bronze and Iron Ages (c. 2400–100 BCE) in the Eastern Adriatic to date. New δ 13C and δ 15N data from 51 individuals were integrated with

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Dental anomalies in Pleistocene African hippopotamuses from Olduvai Bed II

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hippopotamuses are key palaeoenvironmental indicators in African Pleistocene ecosystems due to their ecological dependence on permanent water bodies and their frequent representation in the fossil record. This study examines dental anomalies in Hippopotamus cf. gorgops from several localities in Bed II of Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania), dated to ca.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Earliest evidence of Neanderthal multifunctional bone tool production from cave lion (Panthera spelaea) remains

Scientific Reports
Throughout history, humans have had a complex relationship with lions, both reverencing and fearing them. Interactions between Neanderthals and cave lions (Panthera spelaea) remain poorly documented due to the scarcity of direct evidence.
