Rib Cross‐Sectional Mineralized Area in Early Pleistocene Hominins: Insights From the Homo antecessor and H. erectus s. l. Fossil Record

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

A Gradualist Scenario for Language Evolution: Precise Linguistic Reconstruction of Early Human (and Neandertal) Grammars

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
In making an argument for the antiquity of language, based on comparative evidence, Dediu & Levinson (2013) express hope that some combinations of structural features will prove so conservative that they will allow deep linguistic reconstruction.

Opaque Social Instruments: A Cultural Evolutionary Approach to Pleistocene Symbolic Artifacts

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Prehistoric “symbolic” artifacts remain incompletely explained by semiotic models, which emphasize representational meaning but offer limited insight into how such materials emerged and spread across Pleistocene populations. This article develops a cultural evolutionary framework that reconceives early ornaments, pigments, figurines, and ...

Human Papillomavirus: Update in Bridging Basic Science to Clinical and Public Health Innovations

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human papillomavirus (HPV), a non‐enveloped, double‐strand DNA viral pathogen, is intricately linked with the onset of various cancers, including cervical cancer and head and neck cancers. The present paper delves into HPV's ancient recognition and significant milestones such as the discovery of its role in oncogenesis and the development of ...

Direct radiocarbon dating and stable isotopes of the neandertal femur from Les Rochers-de-Villeneuve (Lussac-les-Châteaux, Vienne)

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2006
Direct radiocarbon dating of the Neandertal femoral diaphysis from the Rochers-de-Villeneuve (Lussac-les-Châteaux, Vienne) has yielded an age of 45,200 ± 1,100 14C years B.P. (OxA-15257) [48,455 ± 1,878 cal. years B.P.], and stable isotope values of δ13C
