The late Middle Pleistocene Homo erectus of the Madura Strait, first hominin fossils from submerged Sundaland

Quaternary Environments and Humans
Eastern Asia yielded a rich fossil record of Pleistocene hominins, ranging from Homo erectus and the diminutive island species Homo floresiensis and Homo luzonensis, to post-erectus grade late archaic Homo (including Denisovans), and finally to ...

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

Journal 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 ...

The Homo floresiensis Controversy

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2007
A completely new and unexpected quasi human species, Homo floresiensis, nicknamed the Hobbit, was described in 2004 from Liang Bua, a cave in Flores. Like many important new contributions to the human fossil record in the past, many commentators refused ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, 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

Archaeometry, 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

Boreas, 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

Evaluation of the e‐Surveyor Mobile Application for Undertaking Plant Surveys and Predicting Habitat Type

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated the accuracy of the e‐Surveyor mobile application, which includes automated identification for plant species and habitat prediction. We compared species lists collected by citizen scientists using the application in the field with data recorded by expert botanists. Most citizen scientists were able to accurately identify almost half of the

Retaining Models of Human Evolution After Repeated Falsifications—Why?

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
Two 19th century paradigms of human evolution emerged: Humans are subdivided into isolated populations in an evolutionary tree, versus human populations interbreed (gene flow) with no isolates. The tree model has been rejected whenever tested since the 1970's, whereas gene flow consistently fits.

Révision de l’espèce Homo erectus (Dubois, 1893)

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2000
The hypodigm for Homo erectus is a problem which remains unresolved. Most disagreements are based on chronological rather than morphological data. A methodology based neither on simple global similarity nor on chronological position is required to ...
