Dietary versatility of Early Pleistocene hominins. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Clumped and stable isotope data of paleosol carbonate and fossil tooth enamel inform about paleoenvironments of Early Pleistocene hominins. Data on woodland- vs. grassland-dominated ecosystems, soil temperatures, aridity, and the diet of Homo rudolfensis and Paranthropus boisei ca.

Insolation-paced sea level and sediment flux during the early Pleistocene in Southeast Asia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Global marine archives from the early Pleistocene indicate that glacial-interglacial cycles, and their corresponding sea-level cycles, have predominantly a periodicity of ~ 41 kyrs driven by Earth’s obliquity.

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.

TERRESTRIAL EFFECTS OF NEARBY SUPERNOVAE IN THE EARLY PLEISTOCENE. [PDF]
Astrophys J Lett, 2016 ABSTRACT Recent results have strongly confirmed that multiple supernovae happened at distances of ∼100 pc, consisting of two main events: one at 1.7–3.2 million years ago, and the other at 6.5–8.7 million years ago. These events are said to be responsible for excavating the Local Bubble in the interstellar medium and depositing 60Fe on ...

Pleistocene hominins as a resource for carnivores. A c. 500,000-year-old human femur bearing tooth-marks in North Africa (Thomas Quarry I, Morocco) [PDF]
, 2016 In many Middle Pleistocene sites, the co-occurrence of hominins with carnivores, who both contributed to faunal accumulations, suggests competition for resources as well as for living spaces.
