Form, function and evolution of the human hand
Abstract The modern human hand is an intriguing mix of primitive morphology and derived function. Traditionally, its form and function are explained as a functional “trade‐off” between the requirements of locomotion and manipulation, but recently acquired comparative, experimental and fossil evidence suggests that this functional trade‐off is more ...

Pyleoclim: Paleoclimate Timeseries Analysis and Visualization With Python
Abstract We present a Python package geared toward the intuitive analysis and visualization of paleoclimate timeseries, Pyleoclim. The code is open‐source, object‐oriented, and built upon the standard scientific Python stack, allowing users to take advantage of a large collection of existing and emerging techniques.

ABSTRACT Throughout much of the Quaternary, lower sea levels in the southern Cape of South Africa exposed a different landscape to what we see today, the Palaeo‐Agulhas Plain (PAP). The PAP was dominated by large‐bodied and gregarious grazing species contrasting with the small‐bodied predominantly solitary species we find in the region today.

Is the endocast a reliable proxy for reconstructing the brain of fossil specimens? By quantitatively comparing extant human brains and endocasts using MRIs and CT‐scans, here we address this fundamental question and support the significance of fossil endocasts in paleoneurological studies.

Integration of proxies in human–environmental systems: paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and archaeology [PDF]
Co-developing paleoscience research questions is associated with effective collaboration challenges. We discuss a framework that brings together past socio–environmental processes and proxies to foster future interdisciplinary collaborations.- Quaternary

Evolutionary modes in protein observable space: the case of Thioredoxins [PDF]
In this article, we investigated the structural and dynamical evolutionary behaviour of a set of ten thioredoxin proteins as formed by three extant forms and seven resurrected ones in laboratory.
