Hominin site distributions and behaviours across the Mid-Pleistocene climate transition in China [PDF]
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2020 Knowledge about the Early and Middle Pleistocene hominin record of China is steadily increasing owing to the on-going implementation of palaeoanthropological surveys and excavations.

Sporadic sampling, not climatic forcing, drives observed early hominin diversity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Paleoanthropologists have long been intrigued by the observed patterns of human evolution, including species diversity, and often invoked climatic change as the principal driver of evolutionary change.

Science, 2011
Diet changes are considered key events in human evolution. Most studies of early hominin diets focused on tooth size, shape, and craniomandibular morphology, as well as stone tools and butchered animal bones. However, in recent years, dental microwear and stable isotope analyses have hinted at unexpected diversity and complexity in early ...

Pattern and process in hominin brain size evolution are scale-dependent [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 A large brain is a defining feature of modern humans, yet there is no consensus regarding the patterns, rates and processes involved in hominin brain size evolution.

Encounters with archaic hominins
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2018The presence of Neanderthal DNA fragments in the genomes of modern humans from Europe and East Asia indicates multiple episodes of interbreeding between Neanderthals and the ancestors of both populations. © 2018, Springer Nature Limited.

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019
New research suggests that groups of ~130 modern humans at minimum undertook planned expeditions to colonise Sahul via a northern route. However, the necessity of more evidence to test this model reflects a need for change in the way we investigate the population history of this region.

An aetiology of hominin behaviour
HOMO, 2012A rough framework for a first attempt to formulate a preliminary aetiology of hominin behaviour is proposed, based on scientific rather than archaeological evidence and reasoning. Distinctive precursors of modernity in human behaviour were present several million years ago, and since then have become gradually more established.

On the moral status of hominins
Monash Bioethics Review, 2019This article evaluates the moral status of hominins, and obligations we may have towards them. In exploring these ethical considerations, I consider one of the most recent hominin finds: the 'graveyard' of Homo naledi in the Dinaledi caves at the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa. I argue that findings about H.
