An initial report of circa 241,000- to 335,000-year-old rock engravings and their relation to Homo naledi in the Rising Star cave system, South Africa [PDF]

eLife
The production of painted, etched, or engraved designs on cave walls or other surfaces is recognized as a major cognitive step in human evolution.

Clades, Grades, and the Genus Problem: A Case for Revising Hominin Taxonomy. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Taxonomic practice in evolutionary biology increasingly prioritizes the recognition of monophyletic groups (clades), yet paleoanthropology still applies this principle inconsistently. Here, I outline these inconsistencies and broader challenges in hominin taxonomy and propose a potential solution.

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

Comparative Morphometric Analysis of the Pelvis of LB 1 (Homo floresiensis). [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Although there has been copious research on the postcranial functional morphology of Homo floresiensis, there has been relatively little study of its pelvis and its implications for interpretations of H. floresiensis locomotion. Here we present the first comparative morphometric analysis of the pelvis of LB 1, the holotype of H ...

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species. [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

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 ...

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.

An examination of Homo naledi early juveniles recovered from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa

Annals of Human Biology
Background Six Homo naledi early juveniles were recovered from U.W. 101 (Dinaledi Chamber), U.W. 102 (Lesedi Chamber), and U.W. 110 in the Rising Star cave system.Aim This paper develops the information for the H.
