Evolution of the hominin brain: A review of variations in size and shape
, 2015 If we aim to understand the acquisition of human cognitive organization during hominin evolution, two fundamental and complementary lines of evidence must be taken into account: the first is paleoneurological, based on the analyses of brain "endocasts ...

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Medial and lateral views of the human foot skeleton in the shod and unshod groups, with color maps representing mean relative trabecular bone volume fraction (rBV/TV) in the talus for each group. The shod group exhibited greater rBV/TV in the medial and posterior talus, whereas the unshod group had greater rBV/TV in the talar head and neck.

Ostensive communication in great apes: The evolution of Gricean intent
Mind &Language, EarlyView.I discuss the evolution of ostensive behaviours (behaviours that display the communicative intent to influence others through the perception of signals and actions addressed to them). Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionA 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.

Inferential communication: The primacy of external representations
Mind &Language, EarlyView.We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...

Revisiting Water and Hominin Evolution [PDF]
, 2011 For many investigators, the rôle of water in the evolution of the Hominini refers to the development of a number of anatomical and physiological features, which hominins are thought to share with water-adapted animals. However, in the last dozen years, there has been emphasis on other ways in which water, and the proximity to water, have been probable ...

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines how the reconstruction of Shanidar Z, a 75,000‐year‐old Neanderthal woman discovered in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, became a focal point for digital negotiations of identity, ancestry, and belonging. Drawing on 51 Facebook and YouTube posts and 17,126 associated comments in Kurdish, Arabic and English, the study ...

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
