The Simple Objects Place in Enclosure for Gorillas Initiate Rare or New Behavioural Patterns – Implications for the Origin of Hominine Tool Behaviour
The biological roots of private ownership
Formy vlastnictví některých objektů a jejich význam mohou být velmi variabilní, a to jak v různých lidských společnostech, tak i u ostatních primátů, zejména u velkých lidoopů. Sociální organizace lidoopů se liší v mnoha ohledech od většiny lidských společností. Naše studie lidoopů v zajetí by nám mohla pomoci vyřešit, zda mají lidoopi tendenci vlastnit libovolný objekt, nebo ne. Pozorování byla provedena ve dvou zoologických zahradách v České re…
Body mass reconstruction on the basis of selected skeletal traits
The objective of this paper is: to estimate the body mass of the skeletons with the mechanical method (femoral head body mass estimation method--FH) and non-mechanical method (stature/living bi-iliac breadth body mass estimation method--ST/LBIB); to compare the reliability and potential use of results obtained with both methods. The material (46 skeletons, 26 males, 20 females) used in the study came from the medieval burial ground in Cedynia, Po…

Evolution of Hominid Femur and Tibia: A morphometric approach to the evolutionary research in anthropology
Evolution of femur and tibia in higher primates: Adaptive morphological patterns and phylogenetic diversity
Major features in the evolution of early hominoid locomotion
Phylogenetic Analysis of Early Hominids [and Comments and Reply]
The proposal of the new australopithecine species Australopithecus afarensis has led to a multiplicity of hypotheses concerning the evolutionary relationships between the known Pliocene and Pleistocene hominid species. We use phylogenetic analysis to gain a new perspective on the subject. Using 69 traits, we construct a series of 12 complexes, each with a defining polarized morphocline. Four mutually exclusive cladograms are derived from these co…
The Evolution of the Advanced Hominid Brain [and Comments and Reply]
A stochastic, hierarchical model for the evolution of the advanced hominid brain is developed. The fossil and geological data date the event to 1.6-1.8 million years ago. Palaeoclimatological evidence does not suggest that it coincided with significant ecological change. The cognitive capacities of "small" hominoid brains are reviewed in the context of pongid technology and carnivory and the evidence for hominid stone tool technology prior to the…
