The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Reconstructing birth in Australopithecus sediba.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Hominin birth mechanics have been examined and debated from limited and often fragmentary fossil pelvic material. Some have proposed that birth in the early hominin genus Australopithecus was relatively easy and ape-like, while others have argued for a ...

Recent progress in studies of the last million years of human physical and behavioural evolution Avancées récentes dans l’étude du dernier million d'années d’évolution physique et éthologique de l'espèce humaine

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article presents a synthesis of recent developments in the study of human evolution over the past five years. It begins with an overview of hominin species nomenclature and diversity, followed by an examination of the proposed population bottleneck ∼900,000 years ago.

The Magnetostratigraphy and the Age of So’a Basin Fossil-Bearing Sequence, Flores, Indonesia

Indonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2018
DOI: 10.17014/ijog.5.3.221-234Three fossil-bearing intervals have been recognized in the Pleistocene So’a Basin, with the upper one holding important evidence of hominin fossils.

The Swanscombe fossil at 90: revisiting its phylogeny, taxonomy, and place in human origins Le fossile de Swanscombe, 90 ans après : retour sur sa place phylogénique, taxonomique et dans les origines de l'humanité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The year 2025 marked the ninetieth since a fossil hominin occipital bone was discovered in Swanscombe, southeast England. In subsequent years, its parietal bones were found, producing what remains the oldest partial cranium from Britain today. In the earliest analyses, it was interpreted as a descendant of the infamous fraudulent fossil Piltdown Man ...

‘Do larger molars and robust jaws in early hominins represent dietary adaptation?’ A New Study in Tooth Wear [PDF]

, 2013
Diet imposes significant constraints on the biology and behaviour of animals. The fossil record suggests that key changes in diet have taken place throughout the course of human evolution.

Early hominin auditory ossicles from South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
The middle ear ossicles are only rarely preserved in fossil hominins. Here, we report the discovery of a complete ossicular chain (malleus, incus, and stapes) of Paranthropus robustus as well as additional ear ossicles from Australopithecus africanus ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...
