Special issue: Australopithecus sediba --- The Anatomy of the Lower Limb Skeleton of Australopithecus sediba

PaleoAnthropology, 2018
The functional anatomy of the lower limb skeleton has featured prominently in reconstructions of locomotion in early hominins. Based on recent discoveries, many scholars now suggest that Plio-Pleistocene hominins experi-mented with different forms of ...

‘Do larger molars and robust jaws in early hominins represent dietary adaptation?’ A New Study in Tooth Wear [PDF]

, 2013
Diet imposes significant constraints on the biology and behaviour of animals. The fossil record suggests that key changes in diet have taken place throughout the course of human evolution.

Geological setting and age of Australopithecus sediba from Southern Africa

, 2010
We describe the geological, geochronological, geomorphological, and faunal context of the Malapa site and the fossils of Australopithecus sediba. The hominins occur with a macrofauna assemblage that existed in Africa between 2.36 and 1.50 million years

Mandibular growth and development in australopithecus robustus

, 2013
Australopithecus robustus has a distinct mandibular anatomy, with a broad and deep corpus and a tall, relatively upright ramus. How this anatomy arose through development is unknown, as gross mandibular size and shape change across subadult growth have ...

Running performance in Australopithecus afarensis

The evolution of bipedal gait is a key adaptive feature in hominids, but the running abilities of early hominins have not been extensively studied.
