Bringing trees back into the human evolutionary story: recent evidence from extant great apes
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2023 Hypotheses have historically linked the emergence and evolution of defining human characteristics such as bipedal walking to ground-dwelling, envisioning our earliest ancestors as living in treeless savannahs (i.e.

African ape carpal morphology is not too specialized to represent the ancestral hominin carpus. [PDF]
J AnatKnuckle walking is one hypothesized behavior of the Pan‐Homo last common ancestor. We analyzed carpal morphology, including Euclidean distances between behavioral pairs, to investigate whether the carpals of knuckle‐walking taxa appear relatively specialized.

The many mysteries of Homo naledi
eLife, 2015 More than 1500 fossils from the Rising Star cave system in South Africa have been assigned to a new human species, Homo naledi, which displays a unique combination of primitive and derived traits throughout the skeleton.

Emerging Adulthood, a Pre-adult Life-History Stage
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 The duration of human maturation has been underestimated; an additional 4–6-year pre-adult period of “emerging adulthood,” should be included in models of human maturation.

The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa
eLife, 2017 New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th and palaeomagnetic analyses of flowstones to establish that all sediments containing ...

Hominins living on the sedge [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 The evolution of C4 photosynthesis was a signal shift in the history of life on Earth, including at least 50 independent origins in 19 families of higher plants (1). Today, C4 plants account for a quarter of the primary productivity on the planet despite representing a small fraction (∼3%) of the estimated 250,000 land plant species (2). Most C4 plants

The taxonomy of Sahelanthropus tchadensis from a craniometric perspective [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasSahelanthropus tchadensis has raised much debate since its initial discovery in Chad in 2001, given its controversial classification as the earliest representative of the hominin lineage.

Atlas of cortical sulcal imprints on Pan endocasts. [PDF]
J AnatThis comprehensive atlas documents the frequency, position, and variability of cortical sulcal imprints across 21 extant Pan endocasts, providing the first quantitative baseline for comparative paleoneurology. This atlas serves as a reference for distinguishing ancestral from derived features in hominin brain evolution.
