A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...

Coloniality of Skill Codification: A Decolonial Feminist Analysis of “Ideal Workers” in the “Future of Work” Policy Discourses

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the last decade, policy actors have produced a surge of “future of work” reports that reimagine workers through the dual logics of digitalization and human capital. Drawing on 25 policy documents (WEF, World Bank, OECD, EU, and major consultancies) and combining Bacchi and Goodwin's WPR approach with decolonial feminist theory, this paper

MAFLD/MASLD: Past, Present, and Future

open access: yesJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), also known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease, affects more than 30% of the global adult population and has become one of the leading causes of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

A Spark of Inspiration: Experimentally Testing Manganese Dioxide as a Fire Lighting Aide

open access: yesEXARC Journal, 2021
Evidence for the production, use, and control of fire by Neanderthals in Europe ranges from the scale of ecosystems to microscopic alterations of artefacts.

Atlas of cortical sulcal imprints on Pan endocasts

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This comprehensive atlas documents the frequency, position, and variability of cortical sulcal imprints across 21 extant Pan endocasts, providing the first quantitative baseline for comparative paleoneurology. This atlas serves as a reference for distinguishing ancestral from derived features in hominin brain evolution.

Molar macrowear reveals Neanderthal eco-geographic dietary variation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Neanderthal diets are reported to be based mainly on the consumption of large and medium sized herbivores, while the exploitation of other food types including plants has also been demonstrated.

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

A Mathematical Model for Neanderthal Extinction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Biology, 1998
A simple mathematical homogeneous model of competition is used to describe Neanderthal extinction in Europe. It considers two interacting species, Neanderthals and Early Modern Men, in the same ecological niche. Using paleontological data we claim that the parameter of similarity, between both species, fluctuates between 0.992 and 0.997.

California's vernal‐pool mousetails (Myosurus, Ranunculaceae): Phylogenetic analysis of ddRADseq data, hybridization tests, and species delimitation

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the first phylogenetic analysis of the Californian species of Myosurus. Our ddRADseq analysis reveals considerably more diversity than what was recognized in recent floristic treatments. Myosurus minimus subsp. apus was found to be a rare species restricted to Southern California and northwestern Baja California.

Mother of the Nation? The Digital Appropriation of Shanidar Z in Kurdish and Regional Identity Politics

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how the reconstruction of Shanidar Z, a 75,000‐year‐old Neanderthal woman discovered in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, became a focal point for digital negotiations of identity, ancestry, and belonging. Drawing on 51 Facebook and YouTube posts and 17,126 associated comments in Kurdish, Arabic and English, the study ...
