Potentials of community-based-ecotourism to improve human wellbeing in Cambodia
Community-based Ecotourism (CBE) has been promoted and widely adopted as an approach for funding conservation initiatives, while at the same time contributing to the wellbeing of the host communities. However, it often fails to live up to its promise and thereby lets the local people return to their old ways of doing things. The study is to explore the potentials of CBE on the indigenous human wellbeing by conducting a case study in the Veun Sai-…
Mandibular corpus shape is a taxonomic indicator in extant hominids
The high taxonomic classification rates at both the genus and species level, using 3D surface data and advanced quantification techniques, show that the shape of the alveolar arch, corpus at M 1 and symphysis can distinguish extant hominid taxa. These findings have implications for assessing the taxonomy of extinct hominid specimens which preserve these mandibular sub-regions

Shifting subsistence patterns from the Terminal Pleistocene to Late Holocene
Speciation in Biology and the Fossil Record
The nature of species has been much discussed since the closing decades of the twentieth century. There is now increasing acceptance that the essence of a species is that it is an evolutionary lineage, a concept made operational by the so‐called phylogenetic species concept. In this light, there may be over twenty distinct species represented in the human fossil record; if, as has been proposed, we define a genus as a monophyletic group of specie…
Progress in human systematics. A review
Nel saggio si ragiona brevemente su cosa siano le e su come esse possano essere individuate nella documentazione fossile, e si sostiene un’interpretazione delle categorie superiori (genere, famiglia) dipendente dal fattore tempo (modello temporale). In base al modello temporale, il genere Homo racchiude come sinonimi al suo interno Australopiteco e Parantropo, e forse Kenyantropo. Suggerisco di individuare all’interno del genere Homo 19 specie de…
Description of a new species of Hoolock gibbon (Primates
We describe a species of Hoolock gibbon (Primates: Hylobatidae) that is new to science from eastern Myanmar and southwestern China. The genus of hoolock gibbons comprises two previously described living species, the western (Hoolock hoolock) and eastern hoolock (H. leuconedys) gibbons, geographically isolated by the Chindwin River. We assessed the morphological and genetic characteristics of wild animals and museum specimens, and conducted multi-…
The affinities of Homo floresiensis based on phylogenetic analyses of cranial, dental, and postcranial characters
Although the diminutive Homo floresiensis has been known for a decade, its phylogenetic status remains highly contentious. A broad range of potential explanations for the evolution of this species has been explored. One view is that H. floresiensis is derived from Asian Homo erectus that arrived on Flores and subsequently evolved a smaller body size, perhaps to survive the constrained resources they faced in a new island environment. Fossil remai…
The evolutionary origin and population history of the grauer gorilla
Gorillas living in western central Africa (Gorilla gorilla) are morphologically and genetically distinguishable from those living in eastern central Africa (Gorilla beringei). Genomic analyses show eastern gorillas experienced a significant reduction in population size during the Pleistocene subsequent to geographical isolation from their western counterparts. However, how these results relate more specifically to the recent biogeographical and e…

Climate, Fire and Human Evolution
The 'temporal effect' in hominids
The species in primatology
Biologists of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries all bandied about the term “species,” but very rarely actually said what they meant by it. Often, however, one can get inside their thinking by piecing together some of their remarks. One of the most nearly explicit‐appropriately, for the man who wrote a book called The Origin of Species – was Charles Darwin : “Practically, when a naturalist can unite two forms together by others ha…
Primate Taxonomy
This article reviews changes in primate taxonomy, especially those pertaining to the meaning of the term species, since its inception two and a half centuries ago. Despite continuing discoveries and the involvement of competent practitioners, the adoption of the polytypic species concept, especially underpinned by the biological species concept, ensured that primate taxonomy was in a sorry state by the middle of the twentieth century. In the latt…

Hominin migrations before Homo sapiens
This chapter discusses both the fossil and the archaeological records for early Homo dispersal, especially beyond Africa to eastern Asia. The author also offers a simplified classification of hominin genera by subsuming most into Homo
Evidence for Divergence in Populations of Bonobos (Pan paniscus) in the Lomami-Lualaba and Kasai-Sankuru Regions Based on Preliminary Analysis of Craniodental Variation
Species Concept in Primates
The way we view the Species category in Primates, as in other animals, especially other vertebrates, has been going through a revolution over the past 20 years or so. Much is wrong with the idea that we can define species according to whether or not they are “reproductively isolated”: this concept, the so‐called Biological Species Concept, has never offered any guidelines in the case of allopatric populations; this has now been shown to be simply…

Butchering of Giant Geladas at an Acheulian Site [and Comments and Reply]
Primate fossils from the Acheulian handaxe site at Olorgesailie, Kenya, are analyzed in an attempt to evaluate Isaac's suggestion that Locality DE/89 B preserves the remains of the hunting and butchering of giant gelada baboons. The age and sex structure of the 90 individuals suggests that attritional mortality occurred. This evidence is consistent with predation on small numbers of individuals at a time by either hominids or carnivores. A compar…
Implications of Border Cave Skeletal Remains for Later Pleistocene Human Evolution [and Comments and Reply]
Recent excavations have helped to clarify the cultural and stratigraphic sequences at Border Cave, and human skeletal remains recovered at this South African site may well be associated with a Middle Stone Age industry. A partial adult cranium is of particular interest, and this was originally described as quite different both from African Negro and from Bushman individuals. Eleven measurements were taken on the fossil, and these provide a basis …

Bonobos
Neontological, biochemical, and paleontological data indicate that the bonobo, Pan paniscus, is a specialized form that possesses relatively small teeth, is quadrupedally adapted, and is only minimally sexually dimorphic. The various specializations of bonobos could be adaptations to ecological restrictions encountered in the terrestrial island of tropical forest that comprises their home range. Bonobos possess specializations quite different fro…

Household Economics and Hominid Origins [and Comments and Reply]
Between 4 and 6 million years ago forces were gathering which transformed a group of quadrupedal individual foraging protohominids into one or more species of bipedal food-sharing hominids. Recently, several scientific subfields have contributed new insights and new pieces of information which, when fitted together by different scholars, present us with a confusing picture of how the transformation might have taken place. This paper examines some…
