We have seen that adolescence has become longer and longer during our evolutionary line. We will also talk about how old age has become prolonged. Both are stages in life when opportunities for recreation and leisure increase: we also believe that younger people and older people now enjoy more such opportunities than the young and elderly in the past ...

This chapter describes the origin of the human lineage within the evolution of the hominoids, which raises the difficult issue of how to integrate the evolution of dentition and terrestrial locomotion. Next is the investigation of the appearance and initial dispersal of the hominins toward the end of the Miocene, with particular attention to the models

Evolution of the hominin knee and ankle
Journal of Human Evolution, 2017The dispersal of the genus Homo out of Africa approximately 1.8 million years ago (Ma) has been understood within the context of changes in diet, behavior, and bipedal locomotor efficiency. While various morphological characteristics of the knee and ankle joints are considered part of a suite of traits indicative of, and functionally related to ...

Functional divergence among hominins
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019Inferred gene expression differences between modern humans and our extinct archaic relatives suggest potential mechanistic bases for the evolution of hominin phenotypes.

Critique of Anthropology, 2009
■ Palaeoanthropology — the study of hominin evolution — has features which differentiate it from most other sciences. It has long been characterized by the announcement of a dramatic discovery of fossil hominin remains — often following a long and arduous process of field exploration.

Pliocene hominin biogeography and ecology
Journal of Human Evolution, 2015Australopithecus bahrelghazali, its origin and palaeobiology are not well understood. Reported from only one location some several thousand kilometres away from East African Pliocene hominin sites, it appears to have predominantly fed on C4 sources. Yet, it lacks the morphological adaptations of other primate C4 consumers like Paranthropus boisei and ...

Environmental hypotheses of hominin evolution
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1998The study of human evolution has long sought to explain major adaptations and trends that led to the origin of Homo sapiens. Environmental scenarios have played a pivotal role in this endeavor. They represent statements or, more commonly, assumptions concerning the adaptive context in which key hominin traits emerged.
