Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

The place and the value of phylogeny in paleoanthropology: just talking or never mind?
UISPP Journal, 2019 The diffusion of sensational and incomplete analyses, as well as the misinterpretation of data, has led to a series of paleoanthropological paradigms which are, for the most part, purely speculative. These practices result from a lack of knowledge of the

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 890-901, June 2026.The quadrate is the cranial bone of the nonmammalian jaw joint. The quadrate has long been hypothesized to mirror the direction of joint reaction forces (JRF) during feeding. This study uses 3D biomechanical modeling to reveal a striking evolutionary link between quadrate orientation and JRF direction, unlocking new insights into the dynamic forces ...

CSGM: A R Package to Conduct a Robust Cross‐Sectional Geometric Morphometric Analysis
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT Objective Evaluating the relationships between the shape and biomechanical function of bone cross‐sections can contribute novel insights towards human functional and evolutionary morphology. However, this research involves unique analytical and statistical challenges when comparing complex and multidimensional shape data to multivariate ...

Measures of maturation in early fossil hominins: Events at the first transition from australopiths to early Homo [PDF]
, 2016 An important question in palaeoanthropology is whether, among the australopiths and the first fossil hominins attributed to early Homo, there was a shift towards a more prolonged period of growth that can be distinguished from that of the living great ...
