Aridity and hominin environments [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 SignificanceOxygen isotopes in modern and fossil mammals can provide information on climate. In this study, we provide a new record of aridity experienced by early hominins in Africa. We show that past climates were similar to the climate in eastern Africa today, and that early hominins experienced highly variable climates over time.

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.

The Evolution of Hominin Culture and Its Ancient Pre-hominin Foundations [PDF]
, 2016 This chapter examines the nature of culture in the broad evolutionary context of animal behavior, thus delineating the ancient foundations of the series of steps that eventuated in hominin culture. Focusing then on primates, further conclusions are drawn about the direct evolutionary antecedents of hominin culture in the most recent ancestors that ...

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.

A lengthy look at climate and its role in hominin evolution [PDF]
, 2022 Climate effects on ecosystems shaped the evolution of our hominin relatives in the human family tree. A modelling study examines these habitat changes and the various ways in which they influenced hominin species.No Full ...

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 ...

The first hominin of Europe [PDF]
Nature, 2008 The earliest hominin occupation of Europe is one of the most debated topics in palaeoanthropology. However, the purportedly oldest of the Early Pleistocene sites in Eurasia lack precise age control and contain stone tools rather than human fossil remains.

Archaeogenomic insights into the adaptation of plants to the human environment : pushing plant–hominin co-evolution back to the Pliocene [PDF]
, 2015 The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant–human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for the co-evolutionary ...
