Linear enamel hypoplasia in Homo naledi reappraised in light of new Retzius periodicities

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 3, July 2024.
Abstract Objectives Among low‐latitude apes, developmental defects of enamel often recur twice yearly, linkable to environmental cycles. Surprisingly, teeth of Homo naledi from Rising Star in South Africa (241–335 kya), a higher latitude site with today a single rainy season, also exhibit bimodally distributed hypoplastic enamel defects, but with ...

Metatarsals and foot phalanges from the Sima de los Huesos Middle Pleistocene site (Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 7, Page 2665-2707, July 2024.
Abstract This study provides a complete, updated and illustrated inventory, as well as a comprehensive study, of the metatarsals and foot phalanges (forefoot) recovered from the Middle Pleistocene site of Sima de los Huesos (SH, Atapuerca, Spain) in comparison to other Homo comparative samples, both extant and fossils.

Human‐like enamel growth in Homo naledi

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 1, May 2024.
Abstract Objectives A modern pattern (rate and duration) of dental development occurs relatively recently during human evolution. Given the temporal overlap of Homo naledi with the first appearance of fossil Homo sapiens in Africa, this small‐bodied and small‐brained hominin presents an opportunity to elucidate the evolution of enamel growth in the ...
