Dehydration and persistence hunting in Homo erectus
Journal of Human Evolution, 2020Persistence hunting has been suggested to be a key strategy for meat acquisition in Homo erectus. However, prolonged locomotion in hot conditions is associated with considerable water losses due to sweating. Consequently, dehydration has been proposed to be a critical limiting factor, effectively curtailing the usefulness of persistence hunting prior ...

A possible case of hypervitaminosis A in Homo erectus
Nature, 1982Following an initial discovery by Bw. K. Kimeu in 1973, sieving operations have recovered the most complete Homo erectus skeleton so far known (Fig. 1) from the Upper Member of the Koobi Fora Formation in Area 103, Koobi Fora, East Lake Turkana in Kenya1,2. The partial skeleton shows pathological changes consistent with chronic hypervitaminosis A.

Nadaouiyeh – A Homo erectus in Acheulean context
L'Anthropologie, 2015The Middle East is apparently the most important passage for the dispersal of early hominins. Numerous archeological sites prove the existence of hominin populations in this region, but despite these rich cultural remains, hominin fossils are very rare. In 1996, a hominin left parietal was found in an Acheulean context.

Beyond the forest the savannah, beyond the savannah the steppe. Hominids had evolved an adaptive syndrome fitting the savannah; the open steppe was the logical next step. Other lineages of mammals had followed the same procession, as I discussed earlier, from forest to its ecotone with the steppe, to the steppe itself.

Pithecanthropus (now Homo) erectus was first recognized as a species by Eugene Dubois in the 1890s from fossils at the Indonesian site of Trinil. Additional finds from Indonesia and then China expanded the morphological, geographic, and temporal bounds of this species, but it was not until 1960 that H. erectus was recognized in Africa. Since that time,

On the autapomorphic traits of Homo erectus
Journal of Human Evolution, 1991Abstract An investigation was carried out on 12 character states often said to be autapomorphic of the neurocranium of H. erectus . The African pongids were used as the outgroup. The majority of these traits were qualitative (i.e., present or absent) and could thus be treated using the classic Hennigian method. Of these, none was autapomorphic in H.

The first discoveries of Homo erectus were made in Java late in the 19th century. Since then many fossils have come to light in Africa as well as Asia. Homo erectus seems to have evolved in Africa before spreading to other regions of the Old World. This occurred over a long period of time, during which the populations changed relatively little.

Bone thickness in Homo erectus
Journal of Human Evolution, 1985Although the presence in Homo erectus of thickened tabular bone in the cranium and thickened cortical bone in the post cranium has been noted by a number of researchers, few hypotheses have been proposed to explain that presence. Using as controls femora from several Homo sapiens groups (Romano-British, Murray Valley Australians and Bushmen), it ...
