Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two major tasks in applications of hidden Markov models are to (i) compute distributions of summary statistics of the hidden state sequence, and (ii) decode the hidden state sequence. We describe finite Markov chain imbedding (FMCI) and hybrid decoding to solve each of these two tasks.

We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.

Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Fragmentary preservation represents a fundamental limitation in palaeoanthropological research, particularly for postcranial elements where symmetry cannot be exploited and large portions of bone are frequently missing. Although a wide range of virtual reconstruction methods exist, many rely on strong anatomical priors, localized interpolation,

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

The Mismeasure of Neanderthals
Earth History and BiodiversityFrom their nineteenth-century discovery, Neanderthals have been burdened with images of brutishness and failure—hairy, stooped figures constructed less from evidence than from Victorian prejudice, colonial ideology, and the authority of early ...
