Insular Mid-Pleistocene Giant Rats from the So’a Basin (Flores, Indonesia)
Excavations undertaken at Mata Menge, the securely dated Middle Pleistocene open site on the Indonesian island of Flores, have resulted in the recovery of over 670 well-preserved fossil murine molars from two distinct stratigraphic intervals. This research is the first systematic metric and morphological analysis of this material, with the results indicating the predominance of a single murine species, though the finds from the lower interval (0.…
Adna, ethnography, and facial approximations of the Teouma Lapita burials (c. 3000BP)
Although ancient DNA (aDNA) cannot predict the facial appearance of skeletal human remains, knowing which extant populations are most closely related to the deceased has proven to be invaluable in rectifying two early facial approximations (popularly known as facial reconstruction) undertaken 15 years ago. These concerned two of the crania excavated from the Lapita burial site at Teouma on the island of Efate, and are associated with the first hu…
Cave art, art and geometric morphometrics
There is considerable evidence that the babirusa of Sulawesi and its neighbouring islands has long attracted human attention. This is probably in part due to the male babirusa appearing as a bizarre compound of two familiar ungulates (babi = 'pig', rusa = 'deer') in that the male's upper canines resemble deer antlers. In October 2014, Aubert et al. announced in Nature that a cave art depiction in Leang Timpuseng, Maros, interpreted by the authors…

Faces in the museum
Museum displays of faces derived from skeletal remains – typically referred to as facial reconstructions – are extraordinarily popular, and frequently function as iconic representations of a much broader engagement with collections from a particular people, time and place. Their actual ability to meaningfully represent either an individual or a museum collection is questionable, as facial reconstructions created for display and published within a…
Faces of Homo floresiensis (LB1)
What’s wrong with this picture? an experiment in quantifying accuracy in 2D portrait drawing
Traditional portraiture aims to produce a life-like representation of an individual’s unique facial features, but there are a number of perceptual factors that may affect how an artist sees and depicts a sitter’s facial shapes. The anatomical accuracy of a portrait is predominantly ascertained subjectively, and not through quantitative methods. To see if it was possible to apply the methods of analysis more typically used to study variation in bi…

Faces of the Teouma Lapita People
In 2008 we completed facial approximations of four individuals from the early Lapita Culture, a seafaring people who were the first to settle the islands of the Western Pacific circa 3000 years ago. Typically an approximation is performed as a 3D sculpture or using computer graphics. We chose to sketch what we have been able to determine from the remains because the artistic conventions of drawing work with visual perception in ways that are more…
Correlations for the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales With Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test in a Forensic Sample
People with an intellectual disability are over-represented in the criminal justice system in many western countries. Identifying accused persons with intellectual disability is important if they are to receive protections available under the law. Accurate diagnosis is also relevant for correctional administrators, probation and parole services, and community services. Diagnosis of intellectual disability must be made on the basis of both cogniti…
Career Motivations of Male and Female Medical Students
Australian medical students (N = 645) were asked at the beginning of their training to rank the importance of a list of motivations relevant to their choice of medicine as a career. Both male and female students ranked the desire to help others as the most important motivation, closely followed by the scientific nature and the intellectual challenge of the profession of medicine. Both genders rated considerations of status and prestige as of low …

A Study of the Concurrent Validity of the Screening Test of Adolescent Language with Recent Immigrants
The concurrent validity of the Screening Test of Adolescent Language was investigated by correlating the total scores for 152 first-year medical students with their performances on the Woodcock Language Proficiency Battery. The sample included many recent immigrants from southeastern Asia who were not yet highly proficient in English. The Pearson correlation of .78 between the two measures was high and statistically significantly different from z…
