Examining the suitability of extant primates as models of hominin stone tool culture
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2022 Extant primates, especially chimpanzees, are often used as models for pre-modern hominin (henceforth: hominin) behaviour, anatomy and cognition. In particular, as hominin behaviour cannot be inferred from archaeological remains and artefacts alone ...

The genomic health of ancient hominins [PDF]
Human Biology, 2017 Abstract The genomes of ancient humans, Neandertals, and Denisovans contain many alleles that influence disease risks. Using genotypes at 3180 disease-associated loci, we estimated the disease burden of 147 ancient genomes. After correcting for missing data, genetic risk scores were generated for nine disease categories and the set of ...

Possible Pleistocene hominin tracks from South Africa’s west coast
South African Journal of Science, 2022 Two probable tracks have been identified on the ceiling of a small overhang in the Pleistocene Langebaan Formation on South Africa’s west coast. They may have been made by a hominin trackmaker.

Evolution of Spinopelvic Alignment in Hominins [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2017 ABSTRACTSpinopelvic alignment refers to the interaction between pelvic orientation, spinal curvatures, and the line of gravity. In a healthy modern human, this alignment is characterized by reciprocal curves/orientation of the sacrum, lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and cervical lordosis.

Multi-isotope analysis reconstructs termite feeding in chimpanzees
Scientific ReportsMulti-isotope analyses of extant and extinct animals provide key insights into dietary ecology. Here, we examined mineral-bound nitrogen isotopes alongside carbonate carbon and oxygen stable isotope ratios in tooth enamel from sympatric chimpanzees ...
