PLoS ONE, 2020 Immature remains are critical for understanding maturational processes in hominin species as well as for interpreting changes in ontogenetic development in hominin evolution.

Earliest Archaeological Evidence of Persistent Hominin Carnivory [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The emergence of lithic technology by ≈ 2.6 million years ago (Ma) is often interpreted as a correlate of increasingly recurrent hominin acquisition and consumption of animal remains.

Early Hominin Dispersal across the Qinling Mountains, China, during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
Land, 2023 The Qinling Mountain Range (QMR), where more than 500 hominin fossils and Paleolithic sites have been preserved, was a major center of hominin evolution and settlement and an important link for the hominin migration and dispersal between the north and ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Human brain size nearly quadrupled in the six million years since Homo last shared a common ancestor with chimpanzees, but human brains are thought to have decreased in volume since the end of the last Ice Age.

Paleogenomics of Archaic Hominins [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 In order to understand the genetic basis for the evolutionary success of modern humans, it is necessary to compare their genetic makeup to that of closely related species. Unfortunately, our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, are evolutionarily quite distant.

South African Journal of Science, 2022 South Africa and East Africa each have a rich palaeoanthropological heritage, but the taxonomy of fossil hominins from these regions is controversial. In this study, two morphometric methods related to the quantification of variability in morphology have

Bipedal locomotion in zoo apes: Revisiting the hylobatian model for bipedal origins
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2022 Bipedal locomotion is a hallmark of being human. Yet the body form from which bipedalism evolved remains unclear. Specifically, the positional behaviour (i.e. orthograde vs. pronograde) and the length of the lumbar spine (i.e. long and mobile vs.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Flip through scientific textbooks illustrating ideas about human evolution or visit any number of museums of natural history and you will notice an abundance of reconstructions attempting to depict the appearance of ancient hominins.

The evolution of hominin ontogenies [PDF]
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2010 Since the beginnings of paleoanthropology, immature fossil hominin specimens have marked important but highly contested cornerstones of research. Long deemed as not representative of a fossil species’ morphology, immature hominins are now in the center of scientific attention, and an increasing interest in evolutionary developmental questions has made ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 To understand how an extinct species may have moved, we first need to reconstruct the missing soft tissues of the skeleton, which rarely preserve, with an understanding of segmental volume and muscular composition within the body.
