Early hominin diversity and the emergence of the genus Homo.
Journal of anthropological sciences = Rivista di antropologia : JASS, 2016Bipedalism is a defining trait of hominins, as all members of the clade are argued to possess at least some characters indicative of this unusual form of locomotion. Traditionally the evolution of bipedalism has been treated in a somewhat linear way. This has been challenged in the last decade or so, and in this paper I consider this view in light of ...

The evolution of early Homo: a reply to Scott.
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2014Scott presents a welcome reply to our article, "A single lineage in early Pleistocene Homo" (Van Arsdale and Wolpoff ). However, Scott's reply mischaracterizes and fails to directly address the hypothesis of a single lineage that we test. Additionally, the approach taken by Scott fails to replicate the methods used in our analysis.

Biomechanics of the hip and birth in early Homo
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1995AbstractA complex of traits in the femur and pelvis of Homo ereclus and early “erectus‐like” specimens has been described, but never satisfactorily explained. Here the functional relationships between pelvic and femoral structure in humans are explored using both theoretical biomechanical models and empirical tests within modern samples of diverse body

Cranial capacity evolution in Homo erectus and early Homo sapiens
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1992AbstractThis paper investigates patterns of cranial capacity evolution in Homo erectus, early Homo sapiens, and in regional subsamples of H. erectus. Specifically, models explaining evolution of cranial capacity in these taxa are evaluated with statistical techniques developed for the analysis of time series data.

Two Developments in the Mind of Early Homo
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 1993Abstract Analysis of early stone tools from a perspective of developmental cognitive psychology reveals that the transition from Homo habilis to Homo erectus was accompanied by important developments in cognitive ability. From the spatial concepts used in stone knapping, and the nature of the shared intentionality required for the manufacture of ...
