Javanese Homo erectus on the move in SE Asia circa 1.8 Ma [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The migration of Homo erectus in Southeast Asia during Early Pleistocene is cardinal to our comprehension of the evolution of the genus Homo. However, the limited consideration of the rapidly changing physical environment, together with controversial ...

New reconstruction of DAN5 cranium (Gona, Ethiopia) supports complex emergence of Homo erectus [PDF]

Nature Communications
The African Early Pleistocene is a time of evolutionary change and techno-behavioral innovation in human prehistory that sees the advent of our own genus, Homo, from earlier australopithecine ancestors by 2.8-2.3 million years ago.

New hominin remains and revised context from the earliest Homo erectus locality in East Turkana, Kenya [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
KNM-ER 2598 is one of the oldest known Homo erectus fossils but there are doubts about its age. Here, Hammond et al. trace the original location of the specimen, confirming an age >1.85 million years, and locating additional hominin fossils situated in a

Are thickened cranial bones and equal participation of the three structural bone layers autapomorphic traits of Homo erectus?

Bulletins Et Memoires De La Societe D'Anthropologie De Paris, 2006
Numerous studies have proposed different lists of morphological features to define the species of Homo erectus; among these, some are considered to be autapomorphic.

Environmental Context of Hominin Foot Evolution. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives This study investigates the environmental contexts that influenced the evolution of hominin foot morphology, focusing on when, where, and under what conditions key synapomorphies evolved. We test whether shifts in ecological conditions are associated with changes in locomotor function.

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
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.

Infant craniofacial diversity in Early Pleistocene Homo [PDF]

Nature Communications
The adult craniofacial diversity of early Pleistocene Homo species is relatively well-documented, but its developmental foundations is hindered by the scarcity of infant specimens with preserved skeletal features.

Saatnya Menengok ke Barat: Sebuah Interpretasi Baru Tentang Distribusi Temuan Homo Erectus di Jawa

Berkala Arkeologi, 2020
Data paleontologis menunjukkan bahwa awal penghunian Jawa terjadi pada batas Plio-Plestosen sekitar 2.4 juta tahun lalu, namun fosil Homo erectus tertua yang ditemukan di Sangiran, berasal dari lapisan 1.5 juta tahun lalu. Belakangan ini, ditemukan situs-
