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.

Sterkfontein at 75: review of paleoenvironments, fauna, dating and archaeology from the hominin site of Sterkfontein (Gauteng Province, South Africa). [PDF]
, 2011 Seventy-five years after Robert Broom’s discovery of the first adult Australopithecus in 1936, the Sterkfontein Caves (Gauteng Province, South Africa) remains one of the richest and most informative fossil hominin sites in the world.

Defining paleoclimatic routes and opportunities for hominin dispersals across Iran. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Fossil and archaeological evidence indicates that hominin dispersals into Southwest Asia occurred throughout the Pleistocene, including the expansion of Homo sapiens populations out of Africa.

Rethinking Phylogeny and Ontogeny in Hominin Brain Evolution [PDF]
, 2012 Theories of hominin and human cognitive evolution have traditionally focused on the phylogeny of the human brain, and on comparisons of human and primate brains in relation to social or ecological variables.

Hominin landscapes and co-evolutionary ecology: accommodating logical incoherence and complexity [PDF]
, 2012 Understanding primate (and human) evolutionary environments is a key goal of palaeoanthropology. The most recent contribution to this debate, the ‘tectonic landscape model’ (TLM) is the first to explicitly invoke either the spatial structure of ...

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.
