Trophic ecology of a Late Pleistocene early modern human from tropical Southeast Asia inferred from zinc isotopes
Understanding Late Pleistocene human land preference using ecological niche models in an Australasian test case
Dental phenotypic shape variation supports a multiple dispersal model for anatomically modern humans in Southeast Asia
Variation in Mobility and Anatomical Responses in the Late Pleistocene
Anatomically modern human in Southeast Asia (Laos) by 46 ka
Uncertainties surround the timing of modern human emergence and occupation in East and Southeast Asia. Although genetic and archeological data indicate a rapid migration out of Africa and into Southeast Asia by at least 60 ka, mainland Southeast Asia is notable for its absence of fossil evidence for early modern human occupation. Here we report on a modern human cranium from Tam Pa Ling, Laos, which was recovered from a secure stratigraphic conte…
Estimating the distribution of probable age‐at‐death from dental remains of immature human fossils
In two historic longitudinal growth studies, Moorrees et al. (Am J Phys Anthropol 21 (1963) 99‐108; J Dent Res 42 (1963) 1490‐1502) presented the “mean attainment age” for stages of tooth development for 10 permanent tooth types and three deciduous tooth types. These findings were presented graphically to assess the rate of tooth formation in living children and to age immature skeletal remains. Despite being widely cited, these graphical data ar…
Regional variation in the postcranial robusticity of late upper paleolithic humans
Early modern humans from the European Upper Paleolithic (UP) demonstrate trends in postcranial biomechanical features that coincide with the last glacial maximum (LGM). These features have been interpreted as evidence that ecological changes of the LGM played a critical role in cultural and biological adaptation in European UP populations. In areas outside of Europe, similar environmental changes occurred with the LGM. This analysis introduces po…
Morphological variation and airflow dynamics in the human nose
Airflow dynamics are recognized as being important to the functioning of the human nose in conditioning and filtering inspired air, yet these dynamics are poorly understood. Despite considerable research on airflow dynamics by otolaryngologists, respiratory physiologists, and toxicologists, major disagreements remain about the nature of airflow in the human nose. Specifically, there is little consensus about the character of nasal airflow regimes…
Late Pleistocene human femoral diaphyseal curvature
Anterior femoral curvature is a consistent characteristic of Pleistocene and recent humans, although variation exists in the degree of curvature among individuals and across populations. In particular, one group, the Neandertals, has been characterized for a century as having marked femoral curvature. To evaluate the degree of anterior femoral curvature in both Neandertals and other Late Pleistocene humans, their curvature subtenses and proximodi…
