Dental ontogeny in pliocene and early pleistocene hominins. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Hasta hace poco, nuestra comprensión de la evolución del crecimiento y desarrollo humanos derivaba de estudios de juveniles fósiles que empleaban poblaciones existentes tanto para la determinación de la edad como para la comparación. Este enfoque circular ha llevado a un debate considerable sobre las afinidades humanas y simiescas de los homínidos ...

Freshwater Fossil Pearls from the Nihewan Basin, Early Early Pleistocene. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
Fossil blister pearls attached to the shells of an Anodonta mollusk from China, early Early Pleistocene, are reported here for the first time. The pearls were investigated in detail using a variety of methods. Micro-CT scanning of the fossil pearls was carried out to discover the inner structure and the pearl nucleus.

The earliest Pleistocene record of a large-bodied hominin from the Levant supports two out-of-Africa dispersal events

Scientific Reports, 2022
The paucity of early Pleistocene hominin fossils in Eurasia hinders an in-depth discussion on their paleobiology and paleoecology. Here we report on the earliest large-bodied hominin remains from the Levantine corridor: a juvenile vertebra (UB 10749 ...
