The Swanscombe fossil at 90: revisiting its phylogeny, taxonomy, and place in human origins Le fossile de Swanscombe, 90 ans après : retour sur sa place phylogénique, taxonomique et dans les origines de l'humanité

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The year 2025 marked the ninetieth since a fossil hominin occipital bone was discovered in Swanscombe, southeast England. In subsequent years, its parietal bones were found, producing what remains the oldest partial cranium from Britain today. In the earliest analyses, it was interpreted as a descendant of the infamous fraudulent fossil Piltdown Man ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Early life history of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus haema: Evidence for direct settlement and ontogenetic shifts in snout morphology

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life‐history traits of seahorses are closely linked to juvenile survival, dispersal potential and the onset of substrate attachment; however, detailed stage‐resolved descriptions remain limited for many Hippocampus species. This study examined reproductive behaviour and early ontogenetic development of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus ...
