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.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Human brain size nearly quadrupled in the six million years since Homo last shared a common ancestor with chimpanzees, but human brains are thought to have decreased in volume since the end of the last Ice Age.

Understanding Paleoclimate and Human Evolution Through the Hominin Sites and Paleolakes Drilling Project [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2009 Understanding the evolution of humans and our close relatives is one of the enduring scientific issues of modern times. Since the time of Charles Darwin, scientists have speculated on how and when we evolved and what conditions drove this evolutionary ...

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.

Revue de Primatologie, 2022 In recent decades, the way paleoanthropologists conceive of bipedalism has changed considerably. If bipedalism was once thought to be a unique characteristic, specific to the hominin lineage and marking its origin, the hypothesis of its anatomical and ...

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 ...

Using strontium isotopes to determine philopatry and dispersal in primates: a case study from Kibale National Park [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) allow researchers to track changes in mobility throughout an animal's life and could theoretically be used to reconstruct sex-biases in philopatry and dispersal patterns in primates.
