The Early Upper Palaeolithic in British caves: problems and potential Le Paléolithique supérieur ancien dans les grottes de Grande‐Bretagne : problèmes et potentiels

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Based on ethnographic research at Rūm Orthodox Christian monasteries in Lebanon, the article studies scenes of Islam at the monastery as they intersect with anxious public debates on, and anthropological theorizations of, sectarianism and ‘Muslim–Christian’ relations in the Mashriq.

Recent progress in studies of the last million years of human physical and behavioural evolution Avancées récentes dans l’étude du dernier million d'années d’évolution physique et éthologique de l'espèce humaine

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article presents a synthesis of recent developments in the study of human evolution over the past five years. It begins with an overview of hominin species nomenclature and diversity, followed by an examination of the proposed population bottleneck ∼900,000 years ago.

The Swanscombe fossil at 90: revisiting its phylogeny, taxonomy, and place in human origins Le fossile de Swanscombe, 90 ans après : retour sur sa place phylogénique, taxonomique et dans les origines de l'humanité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The year 2025 marked the ninetieth since a fossil hominin occipital bone was discovered in Swanscombe, southeast England. In subsequent years, its parietal bones were found, producing what remains the oldest partial cranium from Britain today. In the earliest analyses, it was interpreted as a descendant of the infamous fraudulent fossil Piltdown Man ...
