Evolutionary selection and morphological integration in the hand of modern humans
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 3, November 2024.Abstract Objectives To enhance our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of the modern human hand by analyzing the degree of integration and ability to respond to selection pressures of each phalanx and metacarpal bone. Materials and Methods The sample comprised 96 adult individuals, both female and male, from Euro‐American, Afro‐American, and ...

Boreas, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 476-503, October 2024.This paper, based on a review of the most informative loess–palaeosol sequences and fluvial terrace records from the late Middle Pleistocene of northern France, emphasizes the reliability of the cyclostratigraphic approach to pedosedimentary sequences controlled by major glacial–interglacial climate cycles.

PLOS ONE, 2015 This paper presents an approach to analyzing the reduction intensity of handaxes with the aid of 3D scanning technology. Two quantitative reduction indices, the Scar Density Index (SDI) and the Flaked Area Index (FAI), are applied to handaxes from the third terrace of the Danjiangkou Reservoir Region (DRR), central China, dated to the Middle ...

, 2013 Palaeolithic archaeology has experienced a dramatic shift from processual to post-processual theory in recent years. As a result we have begun to adjust our focus from interpreting the roles of groups of hominids to investigating the way in which ‘individual’ hominins had an impact on their societies. While some argue for a ‘bottom-up’ approach to the
