Changes in the Properties of Two Typical Plant Species and Their Rhizosphere Bacteria in Eco‐Restoration of Engineered Slopes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Slopes that are created by extensive engineering construction projects accelerate the degradation of the ecologically fragile Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. This adverse impact can be mitigated by implementing ecologically sound restoration programs in these degraded sites. This study investigated the changes in the physiology of two typical plant species and their rhizosphere bacteria on four different engineered slopes subjected to eco‐restoration on…
The Sociohistorical Evolution of the Language of Culturally-Based Pedagogy and its Impact on Teacher Education
The purpose of this literature review was to examine how language is used to describe and advance culturally-based pedagogy to critically reflect on the language employed in teacher education research. Our intent was to understand the terminology that has moved conversations of equity, diversity, and cultural ways of knowing to the center of urban education research and practice. Findings indicate the discourse of culturally-based pedagogy relies…

The earliest modern humans outside Africa
Earliest modern humans out of Africa Recent paleoanthropological studies have suggested that modern humans migrated from Africa as early as the beginning of the Late Pleistocene, 120,000 years ago. Hershkovitz et al. now suggest that early modern humans were already present outside of Africa more than 55,000 years earlier (see the Perspective by Stringer and Galway-Witham). During excavations of sediments at Mount Carmel, Israel, they found a fos…
A multivariate assessment of the Dali hominin cranium from China
These results add perspective to our previous view of as Dali a "transitional" form between Chinese H. erectus and H. sapiens. Athough no taxonomic allocation is appropriate at this time for Dali, it appears to represent a population that played a more central role in the origin of Chinese H. sapiens. Dali's affinities can be understood in the context of Wu's Continuity with Hybridization scenario and a braided-stream network model of gene flow. …
A geometric morphometric study of a Middle Pleistocene cranium from Hexian, China
A description of the geological context, discrete traits, and linear morphometrics of the Middle Pleistocene hominin from Dali, Shaanxi Province, China
In 1978, a nearly complete hominin fossil cranium was recovered from loess deposits at the site of Dali in Shaanxi Province, northwestern China. It was subsequently briefly described in both English and Chinese publications. Here we present a comprehensive univariate and nonmetric description of the specimen and provide comparisons with key Middle Pleistocene Homo erectus and non‐ erectus hominins from Eurasia and Africa. In both respects we find…
Human remains from Zhirendong, South China, and modern human emergence in East Asia
The 2007 discovery of fragmentary human remains (two molars and an anterior mandible) at Zhirendong (Zhiren Cave) in South China provides insight in the processes involved in the establishment of modern humans in eastern Eurasia. The human remains are securely dated by U-series on overlying flowstones and a rich associated faunal sample to the initial Late Pleistocene, >100 kya. As such, they are the oldest modern human fossils in East Asia and p…
On the origin of modern humans in China
The Recent Out of Africa Hypothesis (ROAH) has been prevalent for more than 20 years, but no valid explanation of its incompatibility with the fossil hominin record of east Asia has yet been provided. Several metrical and non-metrical features indicate obvious differences between eastern and western Eurasia in human populations earlier than AMHs (anatomically modern humans), which cannot be explained by the ROAH. Similarly, the fact that many dis…
Neurocranial abnormalities of the Gongwangling Homo erectus from Lantian, China
Middle Pleistocene human cranium from Tangshan (Nanjing), Southeast China
The morphology and affinities of early and middle Pleistocene Homo erectus in East Asia have been explored since the late nineteenth century. A fragmentary hominid cranium (Nanjing no.1) recovered in Tangshan near Nanjing, China bears directly on these issues. In the present study, the morphological features of Nanjing no.1 are described and compared with Homo erectus from both Eurasia and Africa. Our results indicate that this middle Pleistocene…

Morphological comparison of archaic Homo sapiens crania from China and Africa
Regional features play a great role in the analysis of the differentiations of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. However, this poses the question how widespread and variable these features are. In order to examine this with regard to the features commonly seen in China their occurrence and variability were determined in Chinese as well as in African crania of archaic and late Pleistocene/Holocene modern Homo sapiens. Furthermore, some features known…
