Dental microwear of Neogene cercopithecoids from the Turkana Basin, Kenya
Opportunities to synchronise and date archaeological and climate records in Northwest Africa using volcanic ash (tephra) layers
Archaeological sites in Northwest Africa are rich in human fossils and artefacts providing proxies for behavioural and evolutionary studies. However, these records are difficult to underpin on a precise chronology, which can prevent robust assessments of the drivers of cultural/behavioural transitions. Past investigations have revealed that numerous volcanic ash (tephra) layers are interbedded within the Palaeolithic sequences and likely originat…
Modern African ecosystems as landscape-scale analogues for reconstructing woody cover and early hominin environments
How teeth record and attenuate seasonal signals
Pliocene hominins from East Turkana were associated with mesic environments in a semiarid basin
Stable Isotope Paleoecology of the Baynunah Formation
Did vegetation change drive the extinction of Paranthropus boisei
Eastern African environmental variation and its role in the evolution and cultural change of Homo over the last 1 million years
Forward and inverse methods for extracting climate and diet information from stable isotope profiles in proboscidean molars
Dietary traits of the ungulates from the HWK EE site at Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania): Diachronic changes and seasonality
Large mammal diets and paleoecology across the Oldowan-Acheulean transition at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania from stable isotope and tooth wear analyses
Dietary changes of large herbivores in the Turkana Basin, Kenya from 4 to 1 Ma
Significance Stable carbon isotopes give diet information for both modern and fossil mammals and can be used to classify diets as C 4 grazers, C 3 –C 4 mixed, or C 3 browsers. We show that diets of some major African herbivore lineages have significantly changed over the past 4 million years by comparing fossils from the Turkana Basin in Kenya with modern mammals from East and Central Africa. Some fossil assemblages have no modern analogues in Ea…
Carbon isotope ratios of human tooth enamel record the evidence of terrestrial resource consumption during the Jomon period, Japan
OBJECTIVE: Archaeological remains strongly suggest that the Holocene Japanese hunter-gatherers, the Jomon people, utilized terrestrial plants as their primary food source. However, carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of bone collagen indicates that they primarily exploited marine resources. We hypothesize that this inconsistency stems from the route of protein synthesis and the different proportions of protein-derived carbon in tooth enamel vers…
Stable isotope-based diet reconstructions of Turkana Basin hominins
Hominin fossil evidence in the Turkana Basin in Kenya from ca . 4.1 to 1.4 Ma samples two archaic early hominin genera and records some of the early evolutionary history of Paranthropus and Homo . Stable carbon isotopes in fossil tooth enamel are used to estimate the fraction of diet derived from C 3 or C 4 resources in these hominin taxa. The earliest hominin species in the Turkana Basin, Australopithecus anamensis , derived nearly all of its di…
Isotopically distinct modern carbonates in abandoned livestock corrals in northern Kenya
Diet of Paranthropus boisei in the early Pleistocene of East Africa
The East African hominin Paranthropus boisei was characterized by a suite of craniodental features that have been widely interpreted as adaptations to a diet that consisted of hard objects that required powerful peak masticatory loads. These morphological adaptations represent the culmination of an evolutionary trend that began in earlier taxa such as Australopithecus afarensis , and presumably facilitated utilization of open habitats in the Plio…
