Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

The Dentition of the Aurignacian Mandible Les Rois 2, France: New Data and Taxonomic Reassessment
ABSTRACT Objective This study provides new dental phenotypic data on the Aurignacian mandible Les Rois 2 (southwestern France). A former study of its dental morphology concluded that its taxonomic assignment to either Homo sapiens or Homo neanderthalensis was “uncertain” and could reflect a recent Neanderthal ancestry of this specimen.

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
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
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.
