The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Sedimentological Study of an Early Pleistocene Upland Lake Core, Unaweep Canyon, Colorado
The recent recovery of a core in Unaweep Canyon, Colorado, penetrated ~140 m of lacustrine sediment of what is here termed paleo-Lake Unaweep. The lake is inferred to have formed as a result of mass wasting that blocked the ancestral Gunnison River ...

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Surface ocean circulation and organic carbon export across the mid-Pleistocene climate transition [PDF]
The mid-Pleistocene climate transition (MPT) marks a change in the nature of the climate system response to external forcing by insolation. This is represented first by the expansion of the northern hemisphere ice-sheets ca. 920 ka, and the emergence and
