Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

Through Time and Across Traits: Evaluating Explanations of Human Evolution
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT We argue that current explanatory practice misses two situations that can arise in any lineage, not only ours. The first is dynamic: traits continue changing in one direction when a lineage's own niche construction keeps enlarging the problem it faces.

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...
