The Internal Cranial Anatomy of a Female With Endocrine Disorders From a Mediaeval Population [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Gigantism and acromegaly have been observed in past populations; however, analyses usually focus on the morphological features of the post-cranial skeleton.

Chimpanzees select comfortable nesting tree species [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Every evening, chimpanzees build sleeping “nests” in trees. In some studied communities, individuals appear to be selective about the tree species used, which has led researchers to hypothesize whether chimpanzees prefer trees that repel troublesome ...

Repellent activity against Anopheles gambiae of the leaves of nesting trees in the Sebitoli chimpanzee community of Kibale National Park, Uganda [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Every evening, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) build a sleeping platform so called “nest” by intertwining branches of tree. Most of chimpanzees’ communities studied have a preference for tree species in which they nest.

Draw inspiration from research on the insecticidal, irritant and mosquito-repellent properties of plants used by chimpanzees to build their nests [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Vector-borne diseases are still responsible for the deaths of one million people worldwide every year, particularly in African countries.

Sex and environment shape cochlear sensitivity in human populations worldwide [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Hearing remains an underexplored aspect of human evolution. While the growing prevalence of hearing issues worldwide highlights the need to investigate factors beyond age, ototoxic substances, and recreational noise— factors affecting only a subset of ...

Protocol combining tree-based Maximum Parsimony and web-like Phylogenetic Networks analyses to investigate reticulate human evolution

STAR Protocols, 2022
Summary: Our protocol combines Maximum Parsimony and Phylogenetic Networks approaches to understand the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary processes of hominin species that might have shared inheritance from multiple ancestors. By addressing the

What Are the “Costs and Benefits” of Meat-Eating in Human Evolution? The Challenging Contribution of Behavioral Ecology to Archeology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Despite the omnivorous diet of most human populations, meat foraging gradually increased during the Paleolithic, in parallel with the development of hunting capacities.

A Phylogenetic Networks perspective on reticulate human evolution

iScience, 2021
SUMMARY: We present a methodological phylogenetic reconstruction approach combining Maximum Parsimony and Phylogenetic Networks methods for the study of human evolution applied to phenotypic craniodental characters of 22 hominin species.

The same growth pattern from puberty suggests that modern human diversity results from changes during pre-pubertal development

Scientific Reports, 2021
Patterns of human growth established for one population have rarely been tested in other populations. In a previous study, three growth curves from puberty were modelled for each sex in a longitudinal study of a Caucasian population based on stature, age

Evidence of the use of soft footwear in the Gravettian cave of Cussac (Dordogne, France)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Humans appear to have regularly worn footwear since at least the Early Upper Palaeolithic. However, due to the perishable nature of footwear, the archaeological record of its presence during the Pleistocene is poor.
