Advanced computer modelling of hominin dispersal from Africa: integrating archaeological and palaeoclimatic simulations [PDF]

, 2007
The project aim was to develop process-based computer simulations of the dispersal of Homo erectus out of Africa. This involved developing realistic constraints on the patterns of vegetation and the effects of changes in global sea level.

No evidence for widespread island extinctions after Pleistocene hominin arrival [PDF]

, 2021
We provide global assessment of the possible link between Pleistocene hominin arrival and island extinction. The existing records on islands around the world do not support a significant and detrimental impact on island biotas following island ...

Landscape Structures and Human Evolutionary Ecology: space, scale and environmental patterning in Africa

Internet Archaeology, 2015
Palaeoanthropologists and early prehistorians work hard to reconstruct ancient human-environment relationships and their influences on our lineage's ecology, biology and behaviour.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Synergistic Effect of the Cationic Peptide Hominin and a New Disinfectant Based on Isoquinoline on Formation of Biofilms in Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococci

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
The growing threat of proliferation of biofilm-forming hospital strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci resistant to antibiotics determines the need for an urgent search for new effective antibacterial compounds, as well as the development of methods

Historical birth records from 1896 to 1944 from the Basel maternity hospital, Switzerland, reveal significant obstetric selection pressures

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality have declined dramatically during the last century. Historical data are therefore important sources to study the evolutionary selection pressures related to childbirth and how they have fluctuated over time.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Growth and Investment in Hominin Life History Evolution: Patterns, Processes, and Outcomes [PDF]

, 2011
The transitions from apes to lineages allied to humans are marked by shifts in the allocation of parental effort, associated with discontinuous changes in rates of infant and juvenile growth both prenatally and postnatally. Here, I assess growth and life
