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

Human, Animal, or Mineral? Ethical Considerations for Studies of Fossilized Hominin Remains. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Ethical considerations around research and education with modern human subjects, use of human tissue, and studies involving humans are ubiquitous within the global scientific community. This commentary explores considerations around how and whether these types of ethical considerations may apply to hominin fossils.
