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 ...

Assessing the Impact of Wear on the Recordability of Linear Enamel Hypoplasia: A Quantitative Approach. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives This study proposes a standardized, empirically grounded framework for assessing the recordability of linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) in archeological dental samples. Despite the frequent use of LEH as a skeletal stress indicator, there is no consensus on whether and how to account for dental wear in recording protocols.

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.

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.

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.
