Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 286-316, June 2026.
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.

Behavioral Modernity and the Cultural Transmission of Structured Information: The Semantic Axelrod Model

, 2014
Cultural transmission models are coming to the fore in explaining increases in the Paleolithic toolkit richness and diversity. During the later Paleolithic, technologies increase not only in terms of diversity but also in their complexity and ...

Prehistoric shuttle dispersals in a Malthusian economy

International Journal of Economic Theory, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 147-160, June 2026.
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.

Categorical Ontology of Complex Systems, Meta-Systems and Theory of Levels: The Emergence of Life, Human Consciousness and Society [PDF]

, 2010
Single cell interactomics in simpler organisms, as well as somatic cell interactomics in multicellular organisms, involve biomolecular interactions in complex signalling pathways that were recently represented in modular terms by quantum automata with ...

Beyond Body Mass, Beyond Adulthood: The Ontogeny of Sexual Size Monomorphism

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Contest competition for mates and female reproductive energetics influence body size and sexual dimorphism across many primates; nevertheless, some monomorphic species defy these patterns. These deviations may reflect biological anthropology's focus on body mass and adult size as defining features of sexual dimorphism.

CSGM: A R Package to Conduct a Robust Cross‐Sectional Geometric Morphometric Analysis

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Evaluating the relationships between the shape and biomechanical function of bone cross‐sections can contribute novel insights towards human functional and evolutionary morphology. However, this research involves unique analytical and statistical challenges when comparing complex and multidimensional shape data to multivariate ...

New hominin fossils from Kanapoi, Kenya, and the mosaic evolution of canine teeth in early hominins

South African Journal of Science, 2012
Whilst reduced size, altered shape and diminished sexual dimorphism of the canine-premolar complex are diagnostic features of the hominin clade, little is known about the rate and timing of changes in canine size and shape in early hominins. The earliest

The behavioural ecology of hominin locomotion: what can we learn from landscapes of fear and primate terrestriality?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
A defining feature of the hominin clade is bipedality, often parcelled together with terrestriality. However, there is increasing evidence of locomotor diversity, both within the hominin clade and amongst the Miocene apes that came before them.

Origins and Evolution of Imagination, From Australopithecus to Modern‐Day Deep Learning

WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
From Australopithecus to deep learning, this update traces how imaginative generativity, vivid mental imagery, and recombines memory into novel scenarios that evolved as a survival engine shaping consciousness, culture, and even today's AI. ABSTRACT Where does imagination come from?
