Hominid butchers and biting crocodiles in the African Plio-Pleistocene. [PDF]
, 2017 Zooarchaeologists have long relied on linear traces and pits found on the surfaces of ancient bones to infer ancient hominid behaviors such as slicing, chopping, and percussive actions during butchery of mammal carcasses.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Animal residues found on tiny Lower Paleolithic tools reveal their use in butchery [PDF]
, 2019 Stone tools provide a unique window into the mode of adaptation and cognitive abilities of Lower Paleolithic early humans. The persistently produced large cutting tools (bifaces/handaxes) have long been an appealing focus of research in the ...

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 395-411, March 2026.Ancestral egg‐laying Sceloporus had dorsoventrally tall female pelvises. Two of three live‐bearing clades evolved larger bodies and flatter, wider pelvises, likely reflecting relaxed allometric limits and selection for crypsis or thermoregulation in terrestrial habitats.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)
Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Altitude shapes human morphology as highland populations must cope with cold and hypoxic environments. Although Andean highlanders have been proposed to exhibit larger and deeper ribcages, this idea is mainly based on research using disarticulated skeletal elements or non‐South American controls. The objective of this research is to

Geospatial modeling approach to monument construction using Michigan from A.D. 1000–1600 as a case study [PDF]
, 2016 Building monuments was one way that past societies reconfigured their landscapes in response to shifting social and ecological factors. Understanding the connections between those factors and monument construction is critical, especially when multiple ...

Questions for The Psychology of the Artful Mind
Vision, 2019 This paper reconstructs the “Arnheim’s puzzle” over the psychology of art. It is argued that the long-established psychological theories of art do not account properly for the observable variability of art, which provide the phenomena ...
