PaleoAnthropology, 2018 Bipedal locomotion is one of the defining features of hominins—the lineage consisting of human ancestors and extinct relatives. Fossilized bones of the foot, leg, and pelvis, together with preserved footprints, demonstrate that the early hominin genus ...

Special issue: Australopithecus sediba --- The Pelvis of Australopithecus sediba
PaleoAnthropology, 2018 Pelvic remains of two individuals of Australopithecus sediba—a subadult male (MH1) and an adult female (MH2)—have been recovered from early Pleistocene deposits at Malapa Cave in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The pelvis of MH1 is represented by partial

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 ...
