Glacial–Interglacial Cycles and Early Human Evolution in China

Land, 2023
China is a crucial region for investigating the relationship between climate change and hominin evolution across diverse terrestrial ecosystems. With the continuous development of palaeoclimatology, chronology, and archaeology, the environmental and ...

The estimation and evolution of hominin body mass

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2023
AbstractBody mass is a critical variable in many hominin evolutionary studies, with implications for reconstructing relative brain size, diet, locomotion, subsistence strategy, and social organization. We review methods that have been proposed for estimating body mass from true and trace fossils, consider their applicability in different contexts, and ...

The effectiveness of using carbonate isotope measurements of body tissues to infer diet in human evolution: Evidence from wild western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus)* [PDF]

, 2015
Changes in diet throughout hominin evolution have been linked with important evolutionary changes. Stable carbon isotope analysis of inorganic apatite carbonate is the main isotopic method used to reconstruct fossil hominin diets; to test its ...

Earliest Porotic Hyperostosis on a 1.5-Million-year-old Hominin, olduvai gorge, Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2012
Meat-eating was an important factor affecting early hominin brain expansion, social organization and geographic movement. Stone tool butchery marks on ungulate fossils in several African archaeological assemblages demonstrate a significant level of ...

Paleoanthropology of cognition: an overview on Hominins brain evolution

Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2022
Recent advances in neurobiology, paleontology, and paleogenetics allow us to associate changes in brain size and organization with three main “moments” of increased behavioral complexity and, more speculatively, language development. First, Australopiths display a significant increase in brain size relative to the great apes and an

Hominin musical sound production: palaeoecological contexts and self domestication

Anthropological Review
In this article we seek to integrate theories of music origins and dance with hominin fossil anatomy and the paleoecological contexts of hominin evolution.

Lower Ilium Evolution in Apes and Hominins [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2017
ABSTRACTElucidating the pelvic morphology of the Pan‐Homo last common ancestor (LCA) is crucial for understanding ape and human evolution. The pelvis of Ardipithecus ramidus has been the basis of controversial interpretations of the LCA pelvis. In particular, it was proposed that the lower ilium became elongate independently in the orangutan and ...

Human brain expansion during evolution is independent of fire control and cooking

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
What makes humans unique? This question has fascinated scientists and philosophers for centuries and it is still a matter of intense debate. Nowadays, human brain expansion during evolution has been acknowledged to explain our empowered cognitive ...
