Archaeogenomic insights into the adaptation of plants to the human environment : pushing plant–hominin co-evolution back to the Pliocene [PDF]
, 2015 The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant–human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for the co-evolutionary ...

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2022 Since 1995, 15 new species have been described in the hominin clade (including all forms closer to extant humans than to extant chimpanzees and bonobos).

The Significance of Chimpanzee Occipital Asymmetry to Hominin Evolution [PDF]
Symmetry, 2021 Little is known about how occipital lobe asymmetry, width, and height interact to contribute to the operculation of the posterior parietal lobe, despite the utility of knowing this for understanding the relative reduction in the size of the occipital lobe and the increase in the size of the posterior parietal lobe during human brain evolution. Here, we

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Human brain size nearly quadrupled in the six million years since Homo last shared a common ancestor with chimpanzees, but human brains are thought to have decreased in volume since the end of the last Ice Age.

Understanding Paleoclimate and Human Evolution Through the Hominin Sites and Paleolakes Drilling Project [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2009 Understanding the evolution of humans and our close relatives is one of the enduring scientific issues of modern times. Since the time of Charles Darwin, scientists have speculated on how and when we evolved and what conditions drove this evolutionary ...

Revue de Primatologie, 2022 In recent decades, the way paleoanthropologists conceive of bipedalism has changed considerably. If bipedalism was once thought to be a unique characteristic, specific to the hominin lineage and marking its origin, the hypothesis of its anatomical and ...

Sagvntum, 2012 We report here on the results of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis on bone collagen of humans from the Punic site of Can Marines (V-IVth BC) from the island of Ibiza (Spain).

Homoplasy in the evolution of modern human-like joint proportions in Australopithecus afarensis
eLife, 2021 The evolution of bipedalism and reduced reliance on arboreality in hominins resulted in larger lower limb joints relative to the joints of the upper limb. The pattern and timing of this transition, however, remains unresolved.

Using strontium isotopes to determine philopatry and dispersal in primates: a case study from Kibale National Park [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) allow researchers to track changes in mobility throughout an animal's life and could theoretically be used to reconstruct sex-biases in philopatry and dispersal patterns in primates.

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 ...
