The immature Homo naledi ilium from the Lesedi Chamber, Rising Star Cave, South Africa [PDF]

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2022
Abstract Objectives Homo naledi is represented by abundant remains from the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa. While pelvic elements from the Dinaledi Chamber of the cave are fragmentary, a relatively complete ilium (U.W. 102a–138) was recovered from the Lesedi Chamber.

Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.

Investigating Development in Human Evolution: Specificities, Challenges, and Opportunities. [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Unlike developmental biologists, paleoanthropologists primarily investigate development using skeletal remains, specifically fossilized and already‐formed bones and teeth. Focusing on peri‐ and/or postnatal growth, they reconstruct development from fragmented “snapshots” of individual trajectories at various ontogenetic stages.
