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

What Is the Acheulean? [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia ...

Burn Selection: How Fire Injury Shaped Human Evolution. [PDF]

Bioessays
Intentional fire use exposed humans and their ancestors to high‐temperature burn injury, a risk rare in other species, bringing major survival benefits and technologies but also repeated exposure to extreme heat. The Burn Selection Hypothesis reframes this cost of fire mastery as a unique selective pressure, which shaped our evolution.
