The Realities of Fieldwork: Embedding professional practice - a case study from palaeoanthropology

, 2019
Programs in palaeoanthropology (the study of human evolution) do not often provide professional fieldwork training. Palaeoanthropology students are thus at risk of being unaware of the professional practices and responsibilities that come with a career ...

The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range
