The effect of bi-iliac breadth on core body temperature
Evolution of vertebral numbers in primates, with a focus on hominoids and the last common ancestor of hominins and panins
Relative tooth size, Bayesian inference, and Homo naledi
Phylogenetic analyses of relative tooth size yield information about evolutionary dental trends not previously reported in H. naledi and the other hominins. Moreover, with an appropriate model these data recovered plausible evolutionary relationships. Together, the findings support recent study suggesting H. naledi originated long before the geological date of the Dinaledi Chamber, from which the specimens under study were recovered
Morphology of the Homo naledi femora from Lesedi
The Lesedi femora increase the range of variation of femoral morphology in H. naledi. Newly described features of the diaphysis and distal femur are either taxonomically uninformative or Homo-like. Overall, these three new femora are consistent with previous functional interpretations of the H. naledi lower limb as belonging to a species adapted for long distance walking and, possibly, running
Body mass estimates of the earliest possible hominins and implications for the last common ancestor
Evolutionary modeling and correcting for observation error support a 3/5 brain-body allometry for primates
Bigger Brains Led to Bigger Bodies
Most investigations of hominin brain and body size evolution assume that different selection pressures acted on each trait or that brain and body size are linked physiologically via the energetic demands of large brains. However, evidence from model organisms suggests that some genes cause variation in both brain and body size, with the result that selection on either trait can lead to a correlated response in the unselected trait. If brain and b…
Ochre fingerprints
In this study, we compared the effectiveness of instrumental neutron activation analysis ( INAA ) of bulk ochre to laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry of homogenized ochre chips ( HOC LA–ICPMS ) at distinguishing among three ochre sources in northern M alawi. Both techniques upheld the P rovenance P ostulate; however, HOC LA–ICPMS required less sample material than INAA and facilitated fast, inexpensive replicate observati…
Body mass estimates of hominin fossils and the evolution of human body size
Complex and changing patterns of natural selection explain the evolution of the human hip
Divergent Patterns of Integration and Reduced Constraint in the Human Hip and the Origins of Bipedalism
When compared to other hominids--great apes including humans--the human pelvis reveals a fundamental reorganization of bony morphology comprised of multiple trait-level changes, many of which are associated with bipedal locomotion. Establishing how patterns of integration--correlations and covariances among traits--within the pelvis have evolved in concert with morphology is essential to explaining this evolutionary transition because integration…
