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 ...

Back from the dead: Another response to the contextual bases of the Rising Star ‘deliberate body disposal’ hypothesis [PDF]

, 2022
Significance: The hypothesis that >1500 Middle Pleistocene hominin bones represent the remains of complete corpses deposited deliberately in Rising Star Cave by conspecifics is provocative.

Early hominins in north-west Europe: a punctuated long chronology? [PDF]

, 2018
In light of changing views regarding the identity and evolutionary positions of Europe’s Lower Palaeolithic hominins, a re-consideration of the hominin occupation of North-West Europe from c. 1 million years ago (mya) to c.

The age of homo naledi and associated sediments in the rising star cave, South Africa [PDF]

, 2020
New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th and palaeomagnetic analyses of flowstones to establish that all sediments containing ...

Human bipedal instability in tree canopy environments is reduced by “light touch” fingertip support [PDF]

, 2017
Whether tree canopy habitats played a sustained role in the ecology of ancestral bipedal hominins is unresolved. Some argue that arboreal bipedalism was prohibitively risky for hominins whose increasingly modern anatomy prevented them from gripping ...

Behavioral inferences from the high levels of dental chipping in Homo naledi [PDF]

Objectives: A variety of mechanical processes can result in ante-mortem dental chipping. In this study, chipping data in the teeth of Homo naledi are compared with those of other pertinent dental samples to give insight into their etiology. Materials and

Has evolution ‘prepared’ us to deal with death? Paleoanthropological aspects of the enigma of Homo naledi’s disposal of their dead [PDF]

, 2017
The Homo naledi discovery introduced questions that had not been previously posed regarding fossil finds. This is because, apart from their fascinating physiology, they seemingly deliberately disposed of their dead in a ritualised way.
