Long-term patterns of body mass and stature evolution within the hominin lineage [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Body size is a central determinant of a species' biology and adaptive strategy, but the number of reliable estimates of hominin body mass and stature have been insufficient to determine long-term patterns and subtle interactions in these size components ...

Pelvic Morphology in Homo erectus and Early Homo [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2017 ABSTRACTThe evolution of the hominin pelvis is generally seen as involving two broad stages: the establishment of bipedal pelvic morphology by the mid‐Pliocene (or earlier), followed by architectural changes necessary to enlarge the birth canal in response to increased encephalization in Pleistocene members of the genus Homo.

Taxonomic identification of Lower Pleistocene fossil hominins based on distal humeral diaphyseal cross-sectional shape [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The coexistence of multiple hominin species during the Lower Pleistocene has long presented a challenge for taxonomic attribution of isolated postcrania.

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 ...

Recent origin of low trabecular bone density in modern humans [PDF]
, 2014 Humans are unique, compared with our closest living relatives (chimpanzees) and early fossil hominins, in having an enlarged body size and lower limb joint surfaces in combination with a relatively gracile skeleton (i.e., lower bone mass for our body ...

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 ...
