Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.

Investigating Development in Human Evolution: Specificities, Challenges, and Opportunities. [PDF]
Evol AnthropolABSTRACT Unlike developmental biologists, paleoanthropologists primarily investigate development using skeletal remains, specifically fossilized and already‐formed bones and teeth. Focusing on peri‐ and/or postnatal growth, they reconstruct development from fragmented “snapshots” of individual trajectories at various ontogenetic stages.

Human‐like enamel growth in Homo naledi
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 1, May 2024.Abstract Objectives A modern pattern (rate and duration) of dental development occurs relatively recently during human evolution. Given the temporal overlap of Homo naledi with the first appearance of fossil Homo sapiens in Africa, this small‐bodied and small‐brained hominin presents an opportunity to elucidate the evolution of enamel growth in the ...

The endocast morphology of LES1, Homo naledi [PDF]
International audienceThe evolutionary diversity across the genus Homo encompasses variation in brain size and overall brain shape. Homo naledi, from the Rising Star cave system of South Africa, is near the extreme of small brain size within Homo but is ...

Endostructural morphology of the Homo naledi mandibular premolars [PDF]
The taxonomic position of the recently discovered species Homo naledi is still uncertain. One of the many distinctive aspects of the dentition of the species is the external morphology of the mandibular third premolar, which has two roots and is fully ...
