The basicranium of Plio-Pleistocene hominids as an indicator of their upper respiratory systems

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1982
AbstractOur analyses of extant primates have shown that a relationship exists between the degree of flexion of the basicranium and the location of upper respiratory structures such as the larynx and pharynx (Laitman et al., 1978). Based upon these relationships, we have previously used the basicrania of late Pleistocene hominids as a guide to the ...

Species of the Upper Pleistocene

2017
This chapter analyzes the two taxa of the Upper Pleistocene: Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens. The first one is explored starting with the Feldhofer discovery and the early interpretations of that specimen. The next issue is the evolutionary model of the Neanderthals and their geographic range. The ensuing questions are the Neanderthal morphology,

The Upper Pleistocene Refugium in Croatia

Quaternary international, 2007
In Hrvatsko zagorje, northwestern region of Croatia, several Paleolithic cave localities are situated. Among them Vindija, Velika pećina and Veternica are well known as typical cave-bear localities and present a fairly complete succession of Upper Pleistocene fossiliferous layers. Recent detailed paleontological researches of ungulates from these caves

Upper pleistocene fossil hominids from Sri Lanka

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1987
AbstractBetween 1978 and 1983 hominid skeletal remains were collected from the cave sites of Batadomba lena and Beli lena Kitulgala in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). These are the most ancient specimens of anatomically modern Homo sapiens found thus far in South Asia, radiocarbon dates placing them in the Upper Pleistocene.

Probit analysis of Upper Pleistocene hominids

Journal of Human Evolution, 1979
Abstract Probit analysis allows the testing of the normality of a sample population where curve fitting and differential weighting occur simultaneously. Probit analysis may be utilized with small samples, and is ideal for use in the study of fossil populations.

Reconstruction of the upper pleistocene glaciation of East Pamir

Geoforum, 1973
Abstract The paper deals with type, age, and climatic conditions of the last vast glaciation in the East Pamir Mountains. The combination of paleobotanic and geomorphological data as well as absolute age dating of the Kara-Kul lake terrace (27,700 ± 700 years old) supports the thesis that maximum glaciation occurred in the Upper Pleistocene, 14–15 ...
