Semicircular canals shed light on bottleneck events in the evolution of the Neanderthal clade [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRevealing the evolutionary processes which resulted in the derived morphologies that characterize the Neanderthal clade has been an important task for paleoanthropologists. One critical method to quantify evolutionary changes in the morphology of hominin

Brief Communication: An Incipient Coronal Caries Lesion on a Neandertal Molar Tooth From El Sidrón Cave (Northern Spain). [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives Here, we present the findings of an incipient caries lesion on a permanent upper left second molar attributed to an adult male Neandertal individual from El Sidrón Cave. This study presents new data regarding the antiquity of human caries lesions, their development, and the possibility of the para‐masticatory behavior component as a

CSGM: A R Package to Conduct a Robust Cross-Sectional Geometric Morphometric Analysis. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT 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 ...

Occipital bone modeling patterns during the first years of life: A preliminary histological and quantitative approach. [PDF]
J AnatModeling maps of the endocranial surface. Orange color indicates resorption fields, blue color deposition. Dashed lines indicate that the pars lateralis and pars basilaris have not yet fused. Abstract Studies of modeling processes have provided important insights in human evolutionary discipline.

Genetic and Morphological Evidence From a Group of Rare African Free-Tailed Bats Reveals a New Subgenus Within <i>Mops</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRecent surveys in the Congolian rainforest have improved knowledge of bat diversity, but data on free‐tailed bats remain scarce. A male Mops tomensis, previously known only from São Tomé, was captured in Equatorial Guinea, extending its range to mainland Africa.

Ape-like locomotor adaptations in the radius of the stem catarrhine Pliobates shed light on hominoid evolution [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The 11.6. Ma pliopithecoid Pliobates was initially misinterpreted as a stem hominoid owing to multiple apelike postcranial features. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we compare its radial shape with that of extant and extinct catarrhines to ...

La educación se incrustó en el proceso evolutivo y florecieron los humanos
Teoría de la Educación: Revista Interuniversitaria, 2020 Introducción: el horizonte de nuestro tema relaciona la evolución humana y la acción educativa. Hipótesis: educación es un término prácticamente ausente en los escritos de paleoantropología.

We Are Not Alone: William King and the Naming of the Neanderthals
American Anthropologist, Volume 123, Issue 4, Page 805-818, December 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The story of human history was changed forever in 1863 with William King's proposal that we had not always been the sole members of the Homo genus. Yet, more than 150 years after Homo neanderthalensis was first named and then summarized in the pages of The Anthropological Review, the man responsible for this revolutionary announcement is ...
