Statistical shape modelling as a novel reconstruction tool in palaeoanthropology: A case study on fossil pelves

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Reconstructing incomplete anatomical regions of extinct taxa is critical for understanding their ecological and evolutionary context, including their migration patterns, reproductive strategies and environmental adaptations.

Xujiayao Homo: A New Form of Large Brained Hominin in Eastern Asia

PaleoAnthropology
Xujiayao, located in northern China, is an important paleoanthropological site because it dates to the late Middle Pleistocene (~200 ka - ~160 ka) and has a combination of hominin fossils, archaeology, and other vertebrate faunal traces.

Did Morality First Evolve in Homo erectus?

Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2016
With findings from cognitive science, neuroscience, information science, and paleoanthropology, an anthropologist and astronomer-priest team take a new look at the nature of morality, and suggest parameters that are often very different from the ...

Exploring the cognitive underpinnings of early hominin stone tool use through an experimental EEG approach

Scientific Reports
Technological innovation has been crucial in the evolution of our lineage, with tool use and production linked to complex cognitive processes. While previous research has examined the cognitive demands of early stone toolmaking, the neurocognitive ...

The sexual selection of hominin bipedalism

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
In this article, I advance a novel hypothesis on the evolution of hominin bipedalism. I begin by arguing extensively for how the transition to bipedalism must have been problematic for hominins during the Neogene.
