Paleontology and Human Relations

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1927
It is my purpose today to deviate somewhat from the usual custom of speakers on occasions like the present. I shall attempt to present to you neither the results of research in which I have been engaged, nor an outline of the progress of the science which I represent, during the past year.

Species recognition in human paleontology

Journal of Human Evolution, 1986
Whatever their exact nature (rarely if ever specified), current generalcriteria for distinguishing species in the human fossil record are deficient Moreover, in discussing species distinctions, inter- and intra-species variability are often confused. The decoupling of morphological from taxic change in the evolutionary process means that there can be ...

Paleontology-basis for understanding human aggressiveness

Neurologia Croatica. Supplement, 2004
Background: Paleoanthropological methods help us to comprehend human evolution. They are multidisciplinary. Aim: This study tries to find out the level and type of aggressiveness by analyzing osteological remains of fossil hominids. They were found in the two most important localities with the remains of Pleistocene hominids in Croatia (Krapina and ...

Midtarsal break variation in modern humans: Functional causes, skeletal correlates, and paleontological implications

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2015
ABSTRACTThe midtarsal break was once treated as a dichotomous, non‐overlapping trait present in the foot of non‐human primates and absent in humans. Recent work indicates that there is considerable variation in human midfoot dorsiflexion, with some overlap with the ape foot.

[Atypical indices in human paleontology].

Zeitschrift fur Morphologie und Anthropologie, 1989
For a normally distributed variable, the index of atypicality associated with a measurement of that variable is defined as the probability of finding a result closer to the mean of the reference population than the one actually observed. The method extends straight forwardly to multivariate situations, thus providing a joint interpretation of multiple ...

[Graphic normality test in human paleontology].

Zeitschrift fur Morphologie und Anthropologie, 1989
In human palaeontology, samples are generally collections of objects gathered according to morphological criteria and their statistical analysis usually calls for caution because of the relatively small number of objects. Testing normality for such samples is a critical problem. The procedure suggested by Filliben, however, is particularly suitable for

Mandibular Biomechanics and the Paleontological Evidence for the Evolution of Human Diet

2006
Abstract Many Darwinian biologists accept that organisms and their constituent parts exhibit optimal design (given certain architectural, developmental, and phylogenetic constraints) so as to maximize reproductive survival. Strictly adaptationist approaches to explaining design perfection in biological has been rightly criticized as ...
