Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Early Hominin Movement Patterns at Laetoli, Northern Tanzania

PaleoAnthropology
The site of Laetoli in northern Tanzania is famous for its preservation of 3.66-million-year-old footprint trails, among which are several belonging to an upright walking hominin (Day and Wickens, 1980; Leakey and Hay, 1979; Masao et al., 2016; McNutt et

Evolutionary development of the Homo antecessor scapulae (Gran Dolina site, Atapuerca) suggests a modern-like development for Lower Pleistocene Homo

Scientific Reports, 2021
Two well-preserved, subadult 800 ky scapulae from Gran Dolina belonging to Homo antecessor, provide a unique opportunity to investigate the ontogeny of shoulder morphology in Lower Pleistocene humans. We compared the H.

HAS THE EVOLUTION OF HOMO SAPIENS DOMESTICATED METABOLIC DISEASES LIKE DIABETES? A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Student's Journal of Health Research Africa, 2023
In this narrative review article, we attempt to review the information available to support the possible link between the evolution of Homo sapiens and the increase in metabolic diseases like diabetes.

Like Father, like son: assessment of the morphological affinities of a.l. 288-1 (a. afarensis), sts 7 (a. africanus) and omo 119-73-2718 (australopithecus sp.) through a three-dimensional shape analysis of the shoulder joint [PDF]

, 2016
The postcranial evidence for the Australopithecus genus indicates that australopiths were able bipeds; however, the morphology of the forelimbs and particularly that of the shoulder girdle suggests that they were partially adapted to an arboreal ...

Premolar root and canal variation in South African Plio-Pleistocene specimens attributed to Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus [PDF]

, 2016
South African hominin fossils attributed to Australopithecus africanus derive from the cave sites of Makapansgat, Sterkfontein, and Taung, from deposits dated between about 2 and 3 million years ago (Ma), while Paranthropus robustus is known from ...

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Entheseal Patterns Suggest Habitual Tool Use in Early Hominins

PaleoAnthropology, 2022
Systematic tool use is a central component of the human niche. However, the timing and mode of its evolution remain poorly understood. A newly developed method for the analysis of muscle recruitment patterns (Validated Entheses-based Reconstruction of ...
