The affinities of Homo antecessor – a review of craniofacial features and their taxonomic validity

open access: yesAnthropological 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 ...

Structural Analyses of the Midshaft in an Isolated Femur from Koobi Fora, Kenya: Implications for Taxonomic Identity

open access: yesPaleoAnthropology, 2022
Reconstructing hominin evolution is dependent on our capacity to securely and accurately allocate fossil hominin material to an appropriate taxon. While taxonomic assignments are traditionally based on craniodental morphology, structural analyses of ...

Cranial Size Variation and Lineage Diversity in Early Pleistocene Homo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A recent article in this journal concluded that a sample of early Pleistocene hominin crania assigned to genus Homo exhibits a pattern of size variation that is time dependent, with specimens from different time periods being more different from each ...

Molar macrowear reveals Neanderthal eco-geographic dietary variation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Neanderthal diets are reported to be based mainly on the consumption of large and medium sized herbivores, while the exploitation of other food types including plants has also been demonstrated.

Aurignacian dynamics in Southeastern Europe based on spatial analysis, sediment geochemistry, raw materials, lithic analysis, and use-wear from Românești-Dumbrăvița

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The Aurignacian is one of the first cultural-technological traditions commonly associated with the expansion of Homo sapiens in Europe. Early Homo sapiens demographics across the continent are therefore typically inferred using the distribution of ...

'Fire hardening' spear wood does slightly harden it, but makes it much weaker and more brittle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It is usually assumed that 'fire hardening' the tips of spears, as practised by hunter-gatherers and early Homo spp., makes them harder and better suited for hunting.
