Comparative Sulcal Morphology of the Late Miocene Fossil Ape, Rudapithecus hungaricus. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives Endocasts of fossil hominoids are exceedingly rare. The only fossil ape endocast analyzed in detail is that of Ekembo nyanzae (KNM‐RU 7290), from the early Miocene of Kenya. Two partial crania of Rudapithecus hungaricus, from the late Miocene of Hungary, preserve sufficient details to reconstruct large amounts of endocranial ...

One hominin taxon or two at Malapa Cave? Implications for the origins of Homo
South African Journal of Science, 2021 A report on the skeletons of two individuals from the Malapa cave site in South Africa attributes them both to a new hominin species, Australopithecus sediba. However, our analysis of the specimens’ mandibles indicates that Australopithecus sediba is not

Long-term patterns of body mass and stature evolution within the hominin lineage [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Body size is a central determinant of a species' biology and adaptive strategy, but the number of reliable estimates of hominin body mass and stature have been insufficient to determine long-term patterns and subtle interactions in these size components ...

The first hominin from the early Pleistocene paleocave of Haasgat, South Africa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Haasgat is a primate-rich fossil locality in the northeastern part of the Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here we report the first hominin identified from Haasgat, a partial maxillary molar (HGT 500), that was recovered ...
