PaleoAnthropology, 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 ...

Molar macrowear reveals Neanderthal eco-geographic dietary variation.
PLoS 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.

The evolution of early symbolic behavior in Homo sapiens [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 How did human symbolic behavior evolve? Dating up to about 100,000 y ago, the engraved ochre and ostrich eggshell fragments from the South African Blombos Cave and Diepkloof Rock Shelter provide a unique window into presumed early symbolic traditions of Homo sapiens and how they evolved over ...

Homoplasy in the evolution of modern human-like joint proportions in Australopithecus afarensis
eLife, 2021 The evolution of bipedalism and reduced reliance on arboreality in hominins resulted in larger lower limb joints relative to the joints of the upper limb. The pattern and timing of this transition, however, remains unresolved.

The first hominin from the early Pleistocene paleocave of Haasgat, South Africa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Haasgat is a primate-rich fossil locality in the northeastern part of the Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here we report the first hominin identified from Haasgat, a partial maxillary molar (HGT 500), that was recovered ...

One hominin taxon or two at Malapa Cave? Implications for the origins of Homo
South African Journal of Science, 2021 A report on the skeletons of two individuals from the Malapa cave site in South Africa attributes them both to a new hominin species, Australopithecus sediba. However, our analysis of the specimens’ mandibles indicates that Australopithecus sediba is not

South African Journal of ScienceClassic depictions of human evolutionary ecology cast Homo as predator and other hominins, including Paranthropus robustus, as prey. Such hypotheses rest on a small number of fossils that exhibit evidence of carnivore predation, including the iconic SK ...
