Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

open access: yesJournal 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,

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

open access: yesJournal 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.

Eco-Cultural Niche Modeling: New Tools for Reconstructing the Geography and Ecology of Past Human Populations

open access: yes, 2006
International audiencePrehistoric human populations were influenced by climate change and resulting environmental variability and developed a wide variety of cultural mechanisms to deal with these conditions. In an effort to understand the inesfluence of

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

Mother of the Nation? The Digital Appropriation of Shanidar Z in Kurdish and Regional Identity Politics

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how the reconstruction of Shanidar Z, a 75,000‐year‐old Neanderthal woman discovered in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, became a focal point for digital negotiations of identity, ancestry, and belonging. Drawing on 51 Facebook and YouTube posts and 17,126 associated comments in Kurdish, Arabic and English, the study ...

The Savannah hypotheses: origin, reception and impact on paleoanthropology

open access: yes, 2012
The reconstruction of the human past is a complex task characterized by a high level of interdisciplinarity. How do scientists from different fields reach consensus on crucial aspects of paleoanthropological research?

New Insights Into Cranial Base Ontogeny in Modern Humans Through Morphometric Analysis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The cranial base is located at the interface between the face, the brain, and the vertebral column. Understanding its growth is essential for elucidating key aspects of craniofacial development, neurodevelopment, and locomotor function.
