‘Moving South’: Late Pleistocene Plant Exploitation and the Importance of Palm in the Colombian Amazon

open access: yesQuaternary, 2021
The role of plants in early human migrations across the globe has received little attention compared to big game hunting. Tropical forests in particular have been seen as a barrier for Late Pleistocene human dispersals due to perceived difficulties in ...

The Origins of Fashion

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes fashion as a deep‐time system of bodily communication rather than a byproduct of modern consumer societies. We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.

Paleolithic Diet and Dyslipidemia

open access: yes
Dyslipidemia is defined as an imbalance in the blood lipid profile that can cause many metabolic diseases. Several clinical studies in the past have proven the importance of a proper diet in the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia. However, the relationship between consumption of a single food like red meat or whole grain with the occurrence of ...

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 510-519, August 2026.
Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Reassessing the Larval Consumption Hypothesis in Neanderthal Diet: A Quantitative and Multi‐Proxy Evaluation

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Persistent enrichment of Neanderthal collagen δ15N relative to local herbivore baselines has long stimulated debate regarding Neanderthal trophic ecology. A recent proposal suggests that the consumption of fly larvae from decomposing carcasses may have contributed to this enrichment.

Insights into Red Deer Ecology during the Late Epigravettian: New isotopic evidence from Riparo Tagliente (Italian Prealps)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 716-731, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Late Glacial marked a shift from the cold conditions of Greenland Stadial‐2 (GS‐2) to the warmer phases of Greenland Interstadial‐1 (GI‐1), enabling the reoccupation of Alpine regions by Late Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers.

Exploitation of Rabbits at the Dawn of the Holocene: Evidence From the Font Voltada Site (Northeastern Iberia) Using Comparative Neotaphonomic Models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 865-882, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT During the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene, hunter‐gatherer societies in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula increased the number of settlements and broadened their subsistence strategies. This period is marked by the appearance of terrestrial snail accumulations attributable to human harvesting, the expansion of specialized ...

Ethnic and paleolithic diet: Where do they stand in inflammation alleviation? A discussion

open access: yesJournal of Ethnic Foods, 2017
The current food options, especially in the Western countries, are acidogenic, which reduce extracellular pH and perturb ionic homeostasis. The acidity-activated enzymes mediate a large panel of chronic and acute diseases.

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,
