Cortical bone distribution in the femoral neck of Paranthropus robustus [PDF]

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.

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species. [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Enamel proteins reveal biological sex and genetic variability within southern African Paranthropus [PDF]

, 2023
The evolutionary relationships among extinct African hominin taxa are highly debated and largely unresolved, due in part to a lack of molecular data. Even within taxa, it is not always clear, based on morphology alone, whether ranges of variation are due

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

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
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,

Enamel Prism Angle Variation and Hard-Object Feeding in Cercopithecoids With Known Diets. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
Left: Cercocebus atys specimen 16–9 third molar showing Phase II enamel prism angle (angle between prism path and wear facet) and wear angle (angle between wear facet and enamel dentin junction (EDJ)). Scatterplot of prism vs. wear angles for the Phase II wear facet. Note the higher angles for Cercocebus.

Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573. [PDF]

J Anat
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

What Is the Acheulean? [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia ...

New hominin dental remains from the ∼2.04–1.95 Ma Drimolen Main Quarry, South Africa

Annals of Human Biology, 2023
Background The Drimolen Palaeocave site is situated within the UNESCO Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa World Heritage Area and has yielded numerous hominin fossils since its discovery in 1992.
