Interpreting sulci on hominin endocasts: Old hypotheses and new findings

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Paleoneurologists analyze internal casts (endocasts) of fossilized braincases, which provide information about the size, shape and, to a limited degree, sulcal patterns reproduced from impressions left by the surface of the brain.

Australopithecus robustus societies – one-male or multimale?

South African Journal of Science, 2016
Determining the sex of individual specimens is important in estimating the degree of sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphism, in turn, provides clues for reconstructing the social organisation and mating systems of extinct species.

Morphological affinities of Homo naledi with other Plio-Pleistocene hominins: a phenetic approach

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Recent fossil material found in Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, was initially described as a new species of genus Homo, namely Homo naledi. The original study of this new material has pointed to a close proximity with Homo erectus.

Les premiers représentants du genre Homo, en quête d’une identité. Apports de l’étude morphologique et de l’analyse cladistique

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2004
No consensus has been achieved concerning the taxonomic significance of the species Homo habilis. Four main hypotheses have been advanced: (1) the specimens from Olduvai, East Turkana and Omo belong to the same palaeospecies:  Homo habilis sensu lato; (2)
