Brief Communication: An Incipient Coronal Caries Lesion on a Neandertal Molar Tooth From El Sidrón Cave (Northern Spain). [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives Here, we present the findings of an incipient caries lesion on a permanent upper left second molar attributed to an adult male Neandertal individual from El Sidrón Cave. This study presents new data regarding the antiquity of human caries lesions, their development, and the possibility of the para‐masticatory behavior component as a

New Middle Pleistocene Hominin Dental Remains From Velika Balanica, Serbia. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objective The cave site of Velika Balanica in Sićevo Gorge, Serbia, has previously yielded early Neanderthal dental remains from Layer 3a, dated by thermoluminescence to 285 ± 34 and 295 ± 74 ka. We describe and compare four additional dental specimens recovered from the Middle Pleistocene Layers 3a and 3b of the cave: a right I1 (BH‐8), a ...

Morphological affinities of Homo naledi with other Plio-Pleistocene hominins: a phenetic approach
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasRecent fossil material found in Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, was initially described as a new species of genus Homo, namely Homo naledi. The original study of this new material has pointed to a close proximity with Homo erectus.

The hand of Homo naledi. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2015 AbstractA nearly complete right hand of an adult hominin was recovered from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa. Based on associated hominin material, the bones of this hand are attributed toHomo naledi. This hand reveals a long, robust thumb and derived wrist morphology that is shared with Neandertals and modern humans, and considered adaptive ...

Dental development in Homo naledi. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2017 Humans’ prolonged somatic development and life history are unique among primates, yet their evolutionary origins remain unclear. Dental development has been used as a proxy to reconstruct life history evolution in the hominin clade and indicates a recent emergence of the human developmental pattern.

Out of Africa: From Homo naledi to ‘Homo cyborg’
South African Journal of Science, 2016 No tools were unearthed, only traces of tool-using capabilities. No death record was chronicled, only sweeping estimations of several thousands or millions of years. No enhanced cognitive functioning was alleged, only insinuations of a primitive brain the size of an orange.
