WHAT ONCE WAS SHALL BE AGAIN: PALAEOLITHIC BIFACES AT THE NEOLITHIC SITE OF GIV'AT RABI EAST

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.
Summary Giv'at Rabi East is a Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site located in northern Israel, interpreted as a flint workshop. One area has been spatially identified as a ‘biface locality’; it is characterized by the presence of finished axes and preforms alongside débitage. Interestingly, Acheulean bifaces have also been recovered from this area.

Hominin cognitive and behavioural complexity in the Pleistocene: assessment through identity, intentionality and visual display

, 2011
The Social Brian Hypothesis predicts the cognitive ability of hominin species by utilising estimated brain and group sizes in relation to an ordinal scale of cognitive complexity expressed as orders of intentionality.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Patterns of interspecific variation in labial microarchitecture among anthropoid primates and the evolution of the hominin lips

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3276-3296, November 2026.
Comparative histological and semi‐automated image analysis of primate lips: Masson's trichrome‐stained sagittal sections were segmented to quantify the connective tissue, adipose, and muscular components, enabling interspecific comparisons of labial architecture.

Seasonal resource availability and dietary selection in baboons: Implications for early hominin dietary inference

Quaternary Environments and Humans
Selective pressures related to resource availability, nutritional constraints, and foraging costs have played an important role in shaping primate and early hominin dietary strategies.

Sticks and Stones: Hand Preference and Grip in Wild Chimpanzee Tool‐Use

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 2, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Humans exhibit a near‐universal right‐handed bias, linked to hemispheric brain lateralization, yet its evolutionary origins remain unclear. Wild chimpanzees, one of our closest living relatives, show diverse tool‐use behaviors and substantial variability, providing an appropriate context to investigate the emergence and functional ...

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2989-2997, October 2026.
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
