Estimating surface area in early hominins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Height and weight-based methods of estimating surface area have played an important role in the development of the current consensus regarding the role of thermoregulation in human evolution.

Dental ontogeny in pliocene and early pleistocene hominins.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Until recently, our understanding of the evolution of human growth and development derived from studies of fossil juveniles that employed extant populations for both age determination and comparison.

A regional-scale mobility model for the early hominin occupation of the Lower Omo Valley (Ethiopia) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe ability of early hominins to adapt to diverse landscapes and ecological niches was a key factor in their range expansion. However, the behavioral and cognitive prerequisites underlying this adaptability remain poorly understood.

Computer vision supports primary access to meat by early Homo 1.84 million years ago [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Human carnivory is atypical among primates. Unlike chimpanzees and bonobos, who are known to hunt smaller monkeys and eat them immediately, human foragers often cooperate to kill large animals and transport them to a safe location to be shared.

Testing the taxonomy of Dmanisi hominin fossils through dental crown area. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe Dmanisi paleoanthropological assemblage from Georgia is among the most debated collections of hominin fossils due to its early age and extreme morphological diversity relative to other Homo assemblages.

Computer simulation of scavenging by hominins and giant hyenas in the late Early Pleistocene
Scientific Reports, 2023 Consumption of animal-sourced food is an important factor in broadening the diet of early hominins, promoting brain and body growth, and increasing behavioural complexity.

Dental caries in South African fossil hominins
South African Journal of Science, 2021 Once considered rare in fossil hominins, caries has recently been reported in several hominin species, requiring a new assessment of this condition during human evolution.
