A Lengthy Look at Climate and Its Role in Hominin Evolution
Nature, 2022 Climate effects on ecosystems shaped the evolution of our hominin relatives in the human family tree. A modelling study examines these habitat changes and the various ways in which they influenced hominin species.No Full ...

Evolution and Function of the Hominin Forefoot [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance A critical step in the evolutionary history leading to the origins of humankind was the adoption of habitual bipedal locomotion by our hominin ancestors. We have identified novel bony shape variables in the forefoot across extant anthropoids and extinct hominins that are linked functionally to the ...

Hominin Life History: Reconstruction and Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2008 AbstractIn this review we attempt to reconstruct the evolutionary history of hominin life history from extant and fossil evidence. We utilize demographic life history theory and distinguish life history variables, traits such as weaning, age at sexual maturity, and life span, from life history‐related variables such as body mass, brain growth, and ...

Rethinking the ecological drivers of hominin evolution
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2021A central goal of paleoanthropology is understanding the role of ecological change in hominin evolution. Over the past several decades researchers have expanded the hominin fossil record and assembled detailed late Cenozoic paleoclimatic, paleoenvironmental, and paleoecological archives.

Evolution of the hominin knee and ankle
Journal of Human Evolution, 2017The dispersal of the genus Homo out of Africa approximately 1.8 million years ago (Ma) has been understood within the context of changes in diet, behavior, and bipedal locomotor efficiency. While various morphological characteristics of the knee and ankle joints are considered part of a suite of traits indicative of, and functionally related to ...

Correlates and Catalysts of Hominin Evolution in Africa
Theory in Biosciences, 2017Hominin evolution in the African Pliocene and Pleistocene was accompanied and mediated by changes in the abiotic and biotic spheres. It has been hypothesized that such environmental changes were catalysts of hominin morphological evolution and speciations.

Evolution of the Early Hominin Hand
2016Over the course of early hominin evolution, two fundamental changes in hand function occurred: the loss of a locomotor role and unparalleled intensification of manipulation, tool making, and tool use. In the context of these functional changes, early hominin hand anatomy evolved a number of derived characteristics within an otherwise primitive bauplan.
