Homoplasy in the evolution of modern human-like joint proportions in Australopithecus afarensis
eLife, 2021 The evolution of bipedalism and reduced reliance on arboreality in hominins resulted in larger lower limb joints relative to the joints of the upper limb. The pattern and timing of this transition, however, remains unresolved.

Sterkfontein at 75: review of paleoenvironments, fauna, dating and archaeology from the hominin site of Sterkfontein (Gauteng Province, South Africa). [PDF]
, 2011 Seventy-five years after Robert Broom’s discovery of the first adult Australopithecus in 1936, the Sterkfontein Caves (Gauteng Province, South Africa) remains one of the richest and most informative fossil hominin sites in the world.

Dental evidence on the hominin dispersals during the Pleistocene [PDF]
, 2007 A common assumption in the evolutionary scenario of the first Eurasian hominin populations is that they all had an African origin. This assumption also seems to apply for the Early and Middle Pleistocene populations, whose presence in Europe has been ...

Integrating whole‐bone and regional analyses to understand human scapular growth
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates ontogenetic changes in human scapular morphology using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics with whole‐bone and region‐specific analyses. The aim is to evaluate whether the scapula follows a regular developmental pattern and whether its functionally distinct components, the scapular spine (SS) and glenoid fossa ...

Hominin landscapes and co-evolutionary ecology: accommodating logical incoherence and complexity [PDF]
, 2012 Understanding primate (and human) evolutionary environments is a key goal of palaeoanthropology. The most recent contribution to this debate, the ‘tectonic landscape model’ (TLM) is the first to explicitly invoke either the spatial structure of ...

Review of Evolving Planet [game]
Internet Archaeology, 2016 A review of Evolving Planet is an agent-based model situated in the archaeology of hominin dispersal, wrapped in the trappings of a casual video game. In Evolving Planet, a terrestrial world has been discovered, replete with artefacts and sites from a ...

The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,

Super volcano eruptions and their impact on hominin evolution [PDF]
, 2015 Discussions relating to super-volcanic eruptions (Volcanic Explosivity Index 7-8+) and their impacts on hominin evolution tend to focus on eruptions that occurred within the last 100 kya and specifically relate to the impact on modern humans or ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The chronology and environmental context of the first hominin dispersal in Europe have been subject to debate and controversy. The oldest settlements in Eurasia (e.g., Dmanisi, ∼1.8 Ma) suggest a scenario in which the Caucasus and southern Asia were ...
