What Do Lithics Tell Us About Cultural Evolution? Insights From the Central African Record
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...

Boreas, EarlyView.The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Boreas, EarlyView.The Megalopolis Basin is located in the central Peloponnese (Greece), a region that is situated along one of the primary Pleistocene biogeographical corridors for intracontinental hominin migration. The basin comprises several hundred metres of Plio‐Pleistocene sediments alternating between clastics and lignites.

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species
Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Prehistoric shuttle dispersals in a Malthusian economy
International Journal of Economic Theory, EarlyView.Abstract Early humans undertook multiple waves of migration out of Africa and back to the continent. We explore prehistoric human migration in a two‐region Malthusian growth model. Whether migration occurs depends on the migration cost, relative population size, relative land supply, and relative hunting‐gathering productivity between regions.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Mind &Language, EarlyView.Three main approaches exist for finessing the cognitive demands of Grice's model of communication (a notorious problem): namely, deflationism, modularity, and interpretivism. Here, I consider each in light of human metacommunication, a phenomenon that has been neglected in foundational discussions of Gricean communication.

Annals of Anthropological Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Given generative AI's rapid incursion into higher education, we examined how AI tools are marketed to US college students and how students experience AI promotions. Using a scalable action research model, we collected and analyzed 131 social media ads, 48 student interviews, and field notes compiled by three interns at student‐facing AI ...
