Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 250-277, August 2026.Summary This study presents a technological analysis of 18 old patinated scrapers and spalls, mostly of Quina technology, that were recycled into new scrapers of the same type at the Late Lower Palaeolithic site of Qesem Cave, Israel (420–200 kyr). Recycling scrapers into the same Quina and demi‐Quina types offers a rare, controlled opportunity to ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives The grandmother hypothesis proposes that ancestral women ceased reproduction midlife to instead provision their grandchildren. An alternative “two‐sex” account proposes that the high energetic burden of caring for slow‐developing offspring was met with biparental investment.

Enamel-dentine junction morphology in hominin mandibular third premolars [PDF]
, 2018 In non-human apes, as in most catarrhines, the P3 is adapted for a role in honing the large upper canine, a feature which was lost early in hominin evolution.

The Effects of Biome Stability During the Quaternary on Plant Diversity
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We used machine learning to reconstruct global biome changes over the last 2.6 million years, revealing that tropical forests, deserts, and temperate forests were relatively stable, whereas northern Europe and North America experienced frequent biome shifts due to ice sheet expansions.

Quantifying heterogeneity of hominin environments in and out of Africa using herbivore dental traits [PDF]
Our own species, Homo sapiens, has been able to invade near-all global ecosystems through a unique form of ecological plasticity. To understand how Homo sapiens have been able to disperse to such a wide range of environments, we need to understand the ...

Retaining Models of Human Evolution After Repeated Falsifications—Why?
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.Two 19th century paradigms of human evolution emerged: Humans are subdivided into isolated populations in an evolutionary tree, versus human populations interbreed (gene flow) with no isolates. The tree model has been rejected whenever tested since the 1970's, whereas gene flow consistently fits.
