INEVITABLE HUMANS: SIMON CONWAY MORRIS'S EVOLUTIONARY PALEONTOLOGY [PDF]
Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science, 2005 Abstract. Simon Conway Morris, noted Cambridge University paleontologist, argues that in evolutionary natural history humans (or beings rather like humans) are an inevitable outcome of the developing speciating processes over millennia; humans are “inherent” in the system.

Human and Ape Molecular Clocks and Constraints on Paleontological Hypotheses [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2001 Although the relationships of the living hominoid primates (humans and apes) are well known, the relationships of the fossil species, times of divergence of both living and fossil species, and the biogeographic history of hominoids are not well established.

Race and the odd history of human paleontology [PDF]
The Anatomical Record Part B: The New Anatomist, 2006 AbstractAlthough the late 17th century witnessed the recognition of fossils as the remains of extinct organisms—because they could be incorporated into the creation story embodied in the Great Chain of Being—acceptance of human antiquity through the indisputable demonstration of the contemporaneity of human bones, stone tools, and accepted fossils was ...

Modern, archaeological, and paleontological DNA analysis of a human‐harvested marine gastropod ( Strombus pugilis ) from Caribbean Panama [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020 Abstract Although protocols exist for the recovery of ancient DNA from land snail and marine bivalve shells, marine conch shells have yet to be studied from a paleogenomic perspective. We first present reference assemblies for both a 623.7 Mbp nuclear genome and a 15.4 kbp mitochondrial genome for

Paleontological Tests: Human-Like Intelligence Is Not a Convergent Feature of Evolution [PDF]
, 2008 We critically examine the evidence for the idea that encephalization quotients increase with time. We find that human-like intelligence is not a convergent feature of evolution. Implications for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence are discussed.

Image Analysis & Stereology, 2011 This study investigates the use of geometric morphometrics as well as methodological aspects specifically related to its application in paleoanthropology. Based on lateral photographs taken from a fossil sample of 58 specimens, a relative warps analysis was computed in order to assess the variation of cranial shape among various hominin groups.
