Reconstructing birth in Australopithecus sediba.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Hominin birth mechanics have been examined and debated from limited and often fragmentary fossil pelvic material. Some have proposed that birth in the early hominin genus Australopithecus was relatively easy and ape-like, while others have argued for a ...

The StW 573 Little Foot Fossil Should Not Be Attributed to Australopithecus prometheus. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives To test the hypothesis that the StW 573 (Little Foot) fossil specimen should be attributed taxonomically to Australopithecus prometheus. Materials and Methods We adopt the methods of classic morphology by comparing StW 573 to the type specimen of A. prometheus (MLD 1) and other consensus members of Australopithecus africanus.

Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.

Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573. [PDF]

J Anat
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

Comparative Sulcal Morphology of the Late Miocene Fossil Ape, Rudapithecus hungaricus. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT 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 ...

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 ...

Sexual Dimorphism in Homo erectus Inferred from 1.5 Ma Footprints Near Ileret, Kenya [PDF]

, 2019
Sexual dimorphism can be one of the most important indicators of social behavior in fossil species, but the effects of time averaging, geographic variation, and differential preservation can complicate attempts to determine this measure from preserved ...

Recent origin of low trabecular bone density in modern humans [PDF]

, 2014
Humans are unique, compared with our closest living relatives (chimpanzees) and early fossil hominins, in having an enlarged body size and lower limb joint surfaces in combination with a relatively gracile skeleton (i.e., lower bone mass for our body ...
