Intraspecific variation in M1 enamel development in modern humans: implications for human evolution [PDF]

, 2008
The timing and sequence of enamel development, as well as enamel thickness, was documented for individual cusps (protoconid, hypoconid,metaconid, entoconid) in 15 unworn permanent lower first molars (M1s) from a sample of modern human juveniles.

Sterkfontein at 75: review of paleoenvironments, fauna, dating and archaeology from the hominin site of Sterkfontein (Gauteng Province, South Africa). [PDF]

, 2011
Seventy-five years after Robert Broom’s discovery of the first adult Australopithecus in 1936, the Sterkfontein Caves (Gauteng Province, South Africa) remains one of the richest and most informative fossil hominin sites in the world.

Chimpanzee subspecies and 'robust' australopithecine holotypes, in the context of comments by Darwin

South African Journal of Science, 2009
On the basis of comparative anatomy (including chimpanzees, gorillas and other primates), Darwin1 suggested that Africa was the continent from which 'progenitors' of humankind evolved. Hominin fossils from this continent proved him correct.

Morphological evolution of the hominid brain

Academia Biology
A comparative analysis of the brain surfaces and endocasts of 35 hominid specimens including 24 operational taxonomic units was performed with the aim to search for morphological transformations of the brain surface that occurred over time ...

A History of Research on Human Evolution in South Africa from 1924 to 2016

Revue de Primatologie, 2017
South Africa has a rich palaeo-anthropological heritage. The very first Plio-Pleistocene specimen of Australopithecus, from the site of Taung, was described by Raymond Dart in 1925.

Cortical bone distribution in the femoral neck of Paranthropus robustus

Journal of Human Evolution, 2019
Studies of the australopith (Australopithecus and Paranthropus) proximal femur have increasingly integrated information from the local arrangement of the cortical and cancellous bone to allow functional-biomechanical inferences on the locomotor behavioral patterns.

The hand of Homo naledi [PDF]

, 2015
A nearly complete right hand of an adult hominin was recovered from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa. Based on associated hominin material, the bones of this hand are attributed to Homo naledi.

Isotopic Evidence for Dietary Variability in the Early Hominin Paranthropus robustus

Science, 2006
Traditional methods of dietary reconstruction do not allow the investigation of dietary variability within the lifetimes of individual hominins. However, laser ablation stable isotope analysis reveals that the δ 13 C values of Paranthropus robustus individuals often changed seasonally and ...
