Insights into the palaeobiology of an early Homo infant: multidisciplinary investigation of the GAR IVE hemi-mandible, Melka Kunture, Ethiopia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Childhood is an ontogenetic stage unique to the modern human life history pattern. It enables the still dependent infants to achieve an extended rapid brain growth, slow somatic maturation, while benefitting from provisioning, transitional feeding, and ...

Shape Ontogeny of the Distal Femur in the Hominidae with Implications for the Evolution of Bipedality. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Heterochrony has been invoked to explain differences in the morphology of modern humans as compared to other great apes. The distal femur is one area where heterochrony has been hypothesized to explain morphological differentiation among Plio-Pleistocene

The affinities of Homo antecessor – a review of craniofacial features and their taxonomic validity
Anthropological Review, 2018 The phylogenetic affinities of Homo antecessor, a hominin dating from the early Middle Pleistocene of Europe, are still unclear. In this study we conducted a comprehensive review of the TD6 hypodigm within the context of the historical development of ...
