Can Asymmetrical Mechanical Loading Be Accurately Inferred From the Analysis of Skeletal Material? [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Reconstructing habitual limb preference in the past is crucial for understanding the evolution of hominin behavior. However, our ability to reliably identify asymmetrical behaviors from bone remains is limited due to a lack of experimental evidence directly correlating a history of loading asymmetry with skeletal asymmetry.

Skull Sutures and Cranial Mechanics in the Permian Reptile Captorhinus aguti and the Evolution of the Temporal Region in Early Amniotes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
While most early limbed vertebrates possessed a fully-roofed dermatocranium in their temporal skull region, temporal fenestrae and excavations evolved independently at least twice in the earliest amniotes, with several different variations in shape and ...

Resolving the Tectonic Setting of South China in the Late Paleozoic

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The tectonic setting of South China during the late Paleozoic is essential to understanding the geodynamics off the eastern margin of Pangea supercontinent due to its unique paleo‐position at the confluence of the Paleo‐Tethys and Panthalassic oceans ...

DMP VIII: Palaeohydrology and palaeoenvironment [PDF]

Libyan Studies, 2009
AbstractThe January 2009 fieldwork season conducted geomorphological and palaeoenviromental surveys in as yet unexplored parts of the Lake Megafazzan Basin, as well as continuing research in the Wadi al-Hayat and Ubari Sand Sea. Lake Megafazzan sediments were investigated at two sites on the eastern margin of the basin.

Sedimentary evolution of lagoons along the Namibian coast reveals fluctuation in Holocene biogeographic faunal provinces, upwelling intensity and sea level

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Within the wave-dominated and high-energy depositional environment of the hyper-arid Namibian coast, lagoons and related saltpans represent one of the few regional settings in which sediments originating from both marine and terrestrial sources can ...

Palaeoenvironments and hominin evolutionary dynamics in southeast Asia [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractSecure environmental contexts are crucial for hominin interpretation and comparison. The discovery of a Denisovan individual and associated fauna at Tam Ngu Hao 2 (Cobra) Cave, Laos, dating back to 164–131 ka, allows for environmental comparisons between this (sub)tropical site and the Palearctic Denisovan sites of Denisova Cave (Russia) and ...
