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

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,

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