The Evolution of Brain and Body Size in Genus Homo
Humans, and most other late Homo species, are characterized by large brains and bodies. However, the discovery of two small-brained Homo species—H. floresiensis and Homo naledi—has cast doubts on large brain size as a defining feature of our genus.

Cercopithecid Monkeys From the Pleistocene Markaytoli Site at Ledi‐Geraru, Afar Region, Ethiopia
ABSTRACT Objectives Cercopithecid monkeys are ubiquitous across much of sub‐Saharan Africa today, where they contribute much to the ecological and taxonomic diversity seen in modern African primate communities. Plio‐Pleistocene assemblages from eastern Africa also preserve a rich cercopithecid fossil record, albeit one dominated by papionins and by ...

Crafting Spaces: Deleuzian Perspectives on Women's Identity Work in Male‐Dominated Jobs
ABSTRACT This paper proposes Deleuzian concepts of becoming minor, lines of flight, and deterritorialization and reterritorialization as a way of understanding identity work based on the experiences of women in male‐dominated jobs. We suggest that Deleuze's frame emphasizes fluidity and rejects category‐limited choices, and it opens up the possibility ...
