Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve

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

Evidence in hand: recent discoveries and the early evolution of human manual manipulation [PDF]

, 2015
For several decades, it was largely assumed that stone tool use and production were abilities limited to the genus Homo. However, growing palaeontological and archaeological evidence, comparative extant primate studies, as well as results from ...

Sexual Dimorphism in Homo erectus Inferred from 1.5 Ma Footprints Near Ileret, Kenya [PDF]

, 2019
Sexual dimorphism can be one of the most important indicators of social behavior in fossil species, but the effects of time averaging, geographic variation, and differential preservation can complicate attempts to determine this measure from preserved ...
