Comparative analysis of the Gran Dolina-TD6 (Spain) and Tighennif (Algeria) hominin mandibles
Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2007 We present a comparative study of the Tighennif (Algeria) and Gran Dolina-TD6 (Spain) hominin mandibles, which represent two geographically near and contemporaneous populations separated by the Mediterranean sea, in order to test the hypothesis that ...

First early hominin from central Africa (Ishango, Democratic Republic of Congo). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Despite uncontested evidence for fossils belonging to the early hominin genus Australopithecus in East Africa from at least 4.2 million years ago (Ma), and from Chad by 3.5 Ma, thus far there has been no convincing evidence of Australopithecus ...

Environmental Context of Hominin Foot Evolution. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives This study investigates the environmental contexts that influenced the evolution of hominin foot morphology, focusing on when, where, and under what conditions key synapomorphies evolved. We test whether shifts in ecological conditions are associated with changes in locomotor function.

Changing perspectives on early hominin diets
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 It is axiomatic that knowledge of the diets of extinct hominin species is central to any understanding of their ecology and our evolution. The importance of diet in the paleontological realm has led to the employment of multiple approaches in its elucidation.
