Comparative study of manual identification of brain foldings in a living human brain using a proxy-endocast obtained from MRI
The use of virtual endocasts allows investigation of the folding configurations of the cerebral cortex of extinct species. However, is that really possible? Our goal is to help answer this question by qualifying and quantifying the subjective identifications of the foldings on endocasts compared to their real configurations on the brain. We invited 14 paleoneurologists to manually reconstruct the foldings they could recognize in a proxy-endocast …
PaleoBRAIN
La question de la correspondance entre les caractéristiques cérébrales et endocrâniennes est cruciale pour les applications en paléoneurologie et n’a jamais été abordée. Pour ce faire, le projet PaleoBRAIN, financé par l’ANR (ANR-20-CE27-0009), va étudier pour la première fois la corrélation entre la forme du cerveau et celle de l’endocrâne au sein d’un échantillon d’humains actuels en utilisant des acquisitions par imagerie à résonance magnétiqu…
Assessing complexity in hominid dental evolution
OBJECTIVES: Molar crenulation is defined as the accessory pattern of grooves that appears on the occlusal surface of many mammalian molars. Although frequently used in the characterization of species, this trait is often assessed qualitatively, which poses unavoidable subjective biases. The objective of this study is to quantitatively test the variability in the expression of molar crenulation in primates and its association with molar size and d…
The human remains from Axlor (Dima, Biscay, northern Iberian Peninsula)
A left parietal fragment (Level VIII) from a single probably adult Neandertal individual was recovered during the old excavations performed by Barandiarán. Additionally, two different Neandertal children lost deciduous teeth during the formations of levels V (left di 1 ) and IV (right dm 2 ). In addition, a modern human individual is represented by five remains (two currently lost) from a complex stratigraphic setting. Some of the morphological f…
Isolated teeth from La Ferrassie
Based on the previously known fossil samples and the new teeth reported here, there are currently a minimum of four adult and five immature Neandertal individuals coming from the "Grand Abri" and a minimum of two modern human adult individuals: one from "Grand Abri" and one from "Grotte." It is noteworthy that the spatial distribution of the recovered Neandertal remains is not restricted to the area where the LF1-LF 8 were found but now covers th…
Brain size and organization in the Middle Pleistocene hominins from Sima de los Huesos. Inferences from endocranial variation
Morphological integration in the gorilla, chimpanzee, and human neck
OBJECTIVES: Although integration studies are important to understand the evolution of organisms' traits across phylogenies, vertebral integration in primates is still largely unexplored. Here we describe and quantify patterns of morphological integration and modularity in the subaxial cervical vertebrae (C3-C7) in extant hominines incorporating the potential influence of size. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three-dimensional landmarks were digitized on 5…
The Late Neandertal permanent lower left third premolar from Walou Cave (Trooz, Belgium) and its context
We discuss the implications of the existence of a clearly Neandertal premolar dating to the period of the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition in the Meuse river basin
Brain Plasticity and Human Evolution
Human behavior is shaped by social learning to an extent that is unrivaled in the natural world. What neurobiological changes have occurred in human evolutionary history that have enabled this remarkable cultural capacity? Human brain anatomy and function have evolved to be highly responsive to experience from the environment, especially the milieu of social interactions. Numerous aspects of human brain development show evidence of specialization…
A geometric morphometric analysis of hominin lower molars
Three‐dimensional evaluation of root canal morphology in lower second premolars of early and middle pleistocene human populations from atapuerca (Burgos, Spain)
The aim of this study is to describe the morphology of the roots and root canals of permanent lower second premolars (LP4s) with fully developed roots of five hominin groups: Homo sp. (ATE9‐1 specimen) from Atapuerca‐Sima del Elefante locality, H. antecessor (ATD6‐4 and ATD6‐125) from Atapuerca‐Gran Dolina TD6 locality, H. heidelbergensis from Atapuerca‐Sima de los Huesos locality, H. neanderthalensis from Krapina, Regourdou, and Abri Bourgeois‐D…
A geometric morphometric analysis of hominin upper second and third molars, with particular emphasis on European Pleistocene populations
Morphological description and comparison of the dental remains from Atapuerca-Sima de los Huesos site (Spain)
The Gran Dolina-TD6 Human Fossil Remains and the Origin of Neanderthals
A geometric morphometric analysis of hominin upper premolars. Shape variation and morphological integration
A morphological study of the tooth roots of the Sima del Elefante mandible (Atapuerca, Spain)
The recent application of microtomographic techniques to dental morphological studies has revealed an untapped source of biological information about extinct and extant human populations. In particular, this methodology has helped to characterize internal dental structures (enamel–dentine junction, pulp chamber, and radicular canals), maximizing the amount of information that can be extracted from a given specimen. In this study, we present a thr…

Dental evidence on the hominin dispersals during the Pleistocene
A common assumption in the evolutionary scenario of the first Eurasian hominin populations is that they all had an African origin. This assumption also seems to apply for the Early and Middle Pleistocene populations, whose presence in Europe has been largely explained by a discontinuous flow of African emigrant waves. Only recently, some voices have speculated about the possibility of Asia being a center of speciation. However, no hard evidence h…

Comparative analysis of the Gran Dolina-TD6 (Spain) and Tighennif (Algeria) hominin mandibles
We present a comparative study of the Tighennif (Algeria) and Gran Dolina-TD6 (Spain) hominin mandibles, which represent two geographically near and contemporaneous populations separated by the Mediterranean sea, in order to test the hypothesis that these populations belong to the same evolutionary lineage, as it has been suggested by some authors. The Tighennif mandibles show a clear primitive structural pattern, derived in some features with re…
