Australopithecus afarensis endocasts suggest ape-like brain organization and prolonged brain growth

, 2020
Human brains are three times larger, are organized differently, and mature for a longer period of time than those of our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees. Together, these characteristics are important for human cognition and social behavior, but

Landscapes and their relation to hominin habitats : case studies from Australopithecus sites in eastern and southern Africa [PDF]

, 2011
We examine the links between geomorphological processes, specific landscape features, surface water drainage, and the creation of suitable habitats for hominins. The existence of mosaic (i.e.

Middle Pliocene hominin diversity : Australopithecus deyiremeda and Kenyanthropus platyops [PDF]

, 2016
Geometric morphometric shape analyses are used to compare the maxillae of the Kenyanthropus platyops holotype KNM-WT 40000, the Australopithecus deyiremeda holotype BRT-VP-3/1 and other australopiths.

Microtomographic Archive of Hominin Fossils from the Swartkrans Formation, South Africa (1948-1967)

PaleoAnthropology
Since initial excavations in 1948, the site of Swartkrans, located in the ‘Cradle of Humankind,’ South Africa has yielded hundreds of fossil hominin specimens belonging to species of Paranthropus, Homo, and possibly Australopithecus.

First early hominin from central Africa (Ishango, Democratic Republic of Congo). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Despite uncontested evidence for fossils belonging to the early hominin genus Australopithecus in East Africa from at least 4.2 million years ago (Ma), and from Chad by 3.5 Ma, thus far there has been no convincing evidence of Australopithecus ...

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...
