Entheseal Patterns Suggest Habitual Tool Use in Early Hominins

PaleoAnthropology, 2022
Systematic tool use is a central component of the human niche. However, the timing and mode of its evolution remain poorly understood. A newly developed method for the analysis of muscle recruitment patterns (Validated Entheses-based Reconstruction of ...

Earliest porotic hyperostosis on a 1.5-million-year-old hominin, olduvai gorge, Tanzania. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Meat-eating was an important factor affecting early hominin brain expansion, social organization and geographic movement. Stone tool butchery marks on ungulate fossils in several African archaeological assemblages demonstrate a significant level of ...

The Origins of Causal Cognition in Early Hominins

Biology & Philosophy, 2014
Studies of primate cognition have conclusively shown that humans and apes share a range of basic cognitive abilities. As a corollary, these same studies have also focussed attention on what makes humans unique, and on when and how specifically human ...

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve

Ecological limiting factors of early hominins in western Eurasia [PDF]

One Health & Risk Management, 2023
Introduction. Early hominin (Homo ex. gr. erectus) dispersals from Africa into western Eurasia took place during the Early Pleistocene. Evidence points to the presence of humans in Western Europe, specifically Spain, around 1.1-1.2 Ma and in the ...

The Significance of Subtlety: Contrasting Lithic Raw Materials Procurement and Use Patterns at the Oldowan Sites of Barranco León and Fuente Nueva 3 (Orce, Andalusia, Spain)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Situated in southern Spain’s Guadix-Baza basin, Barranco León and Fuente Nueva 3 (Orce, Andalusia, Spain) are two of the most important western European Oldowan archeological sites. After 30 years of quasi-uninterrupted excavations, these two occurrences

The earliest Pleistocene record of a large-bodied hominin from the Levant supports two out-of-Africa dispersal events

Scientific Reports, 2022
The paucity of early Pleistocene hominin fossils in Eurasia hinders an in-depth discussion on their paleobiology and paleoecology. Here we report on the earliest large-bodied hominin remains from the Levantine corridor: a juvenile vertebra (UB 10749 ...
