ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.

Revisiting the cranial variability of the Dmanisi hominins
The Dmanisi specimens represent the most diverse contemporaneous hominin fossils found at one single site and are key in understanding the first out -of- Africa dispersal and the origins of Homo erectus.

Following the discovery of hominin fossils at Trinil (Java, Indonesia) in 1891 and 1892, Eugène Dubois named a new species, now known as Homo erectus. Although the main historical events are well-known, there appears to be no consensus regarding two important aspects of the naming of the species, including what constitutes the original publication of ...

Prehistoric shuttle dispersals in a Malthusian economy
Abstract Early humans undertook multiple waves of migration out of Africa and back to the continent. We explore prehistoric human migration in a two‐region Malthusian growth model. Whether migration occurs depends on the migration cost, relative population size, relative land supply, and relative hunting‐gathering productivity between regions.

Facial expressions depend on their underlying muscular architecture. Comparative macro and microanatomical analyses and fiber‐level quantification across 10 primate species show that the depressor anguli oris (DAO), the anatomical basis of AU15 (downward pulling of the mouth corner), is uniquely human and lacks a discrete homolog in nonhuman primates ...

The evolution of cranial form in mid-Pleistocene Homo
Interactions of the brain and cranium in archaic populations remain poorly understood. Hominin fossils from Middle Pleistocene localities in Africa and Europe have been allocated to one or more species distinct from Homo erectus, the Neanderthals and ...

Out of Africa: An alternative scenario for the first human dispersal in Eurasia
Recent paleoanthropological evidence from the early Pleistocene site of Dmanisi in Georgia has revealed that the first hominins out of Africa were more archaic than the coeval African and Asian Homo erectus.

Phylogeny of Homo and its Implications for the Taxonomy of the Genus
The genus Homo has a moderately high degree of morphological diversity, with about fifteen species proposed. It is debatable whether there could have been several species of Homo coexisting and sharing similar ecological niches, especially during the ...
