Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Archaeological research in the Philippines has produced a timeline of currently over 700,000 years of human occupation. However, while an initial presence of early hominins has been securely established through several radiometric dates between 700 ka to

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Paleolithic inhabitants of Denisova Cave [PDF]
Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографииBased on paleogenetic analysis of anthropological remains from Denisova Cave in Altai Mountains, a previously unknown population of fossil people, the Denisovans, was discovered, and a complex picture of their interaction with Neanderthals was ...

Morphological homology, evolution, and proposed nomenclature for bear dentition [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 Bears are a group of carnivores with diverse diets and complicated dental structure. Several large rearrangements of dental structures are known in different lineages of bears, making the homology of dental structures between the different bears ...

Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Geometric morphometric analyses are used to explore variation of maxillary dental arcades of Australopithecus afarensis, expanding on the work of Hanegraef and Spoor, 2025 (Morphological variation of the Australopithecus afarensis maxilla.
