Sterkfontein at 75: review of paleoenvironments, fauna, dating and archaeology from the hominin site of Sterkfontein (Gauteng Province, South Africa). [PDF]

, 2011
Seventy-five years after Robert Broom’s discovery of the first adult Australopithecus in 1936, the Sterkfontein Caves (Gauteng Province, South Africa) remains one of the richest and most informative fossil hominin sites in the world.

Evo-devo of human adolescence: beyond disease models of early puberty [PDF]

, 2013
Despite substantial heritability in pubertal development, much variation remains to be explained, leaving room for the influence of environmental factors to adjust its phenotypic trajectory in the service of fitness goals.

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.
Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Dietary Adaptations and Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Dental Occlusal Shape in Hominin and Non-hominin Primates [PDF]

, 2016
Dental morphology and tooth shape have been used to recreate the dietary adaptations for extinct species, and thus dental variation can provide information on the relationship between fossil species and their paleoenvironments.

The ‘mosaic habitat’ concept in human evolution: past and present [PDF]

, 2015
The habitats preferred by hominins and other species are an important theme in palaeoanthropology, and the ‘mosaic habitat’ (also referred to as habitat heterogeneity) has been a central concept in this regard for the last four decades.

The evolution of human opacity: A Wittgensteinian critique of psychology

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 48-73, January 2026.
Abstract The central insight of Wittgenstein's critique of psychology can be summarized fairly plainly: when we talk about ‘minds’, ‘thoughts’, ‘feelings’ and other psychological phenomena, we are not talking about states and processes inside our heads, whether those states be further imagined as physical or transcendent. Our psychological language has

A History of Research on Human Evolution in South Africa from 1924 to 2016

Revue de Primatologie, 2017
South Africa has a rich palaeo-anthropological heritage. The very first Plio-Pleistocene specimen of Australopithecus, from the site of Taung, was described by Raymond Dart in 1925.

Molar microwear textures and the diets ofAustralopithecus anamensisandAustralopithecus afarensis [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
Many researchers have suggested thatAustralopithecus anamensisandAustralopithecus afarensiswere among the earliest hominins to have diets that included hard, brittle items. Here we examine dental microwear textures of these hominins for evidence of this. The molars of threeAu. anamensisand 19Au.

Clavicle length and shoulder breadth in hominoid evolution [PDF]

, 2016
For a given body mass, hominoids have longer clavicles than typical monkeys, reflecting the laterad reorientation of the hominoid glenoid. Relative length of the clavicle varies among hominoids, with orangutans having longer clavicles than expected for ...
