And then there was us
In 1987, the academic conference ‘Origins and Dispersals of Modern Humans: Behavioural and Biological Perspectives’ was held in Cambridge, UK. Subsequently referred to as the ‘Human Revolution’ conference, this meeting brought together the most prominent academics working in the field of human origins, including archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists, as well as the geneticists who had recently published the first significant reconstruction of …
Small-mammalian fossils from the Paleolithic Dayin Cave site in Yunnan, Southwest China
Late Middle Pleistocene micromammals of the Bianfudong paleolithic site, Heqing, western Yunnan
Moving away from 'the Muddle in the Middle' toward solving the Chibanian puzzle
Phylogeny and paleobiogeography of the enigmatic North American primate Ekgmowechashala illuminated by new fossils from Nebraska (USA) and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China)
Ekgmowechashala is a poorly documented but very distinctive primate known only from the late early Oligocene (early Arikareean) of western North America. Because of its highly autapomorphous dentition and spatiotemporal isolation, the phylogenetic and biogeographic affinities of Ekgmowechashala have long been debated. Here, we describe the oldest known fossils of Ekgmowechashala from the Brown Siltstone Beds of the Brule Formation, White River Gr…
A 10 ka intentionally deformed human skull from Northeast Asia
The oldest‐known undoubted cultural practices of intentional cranial deformation (ICD, also known as artificial cranial modification) appeared in the Middle East, Australia, and Northeast China in the terminal Pleistocene‐early Holocene populations. Here, we report an ICD calvarium fossil (Songhuajiang II) discovered from an underwater sand mining site near Harbin City in Northeast China. With a calibrated accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radi…
Tooth micro-wear analysis reveals that persistence of beaver Trogontherium cuvieri (Rodentia, Mammalia) in Northeast China relied on its plastic ecological niche in Pleistocene
A late Pleistocene fossil from Northeastern China is the first record of the dire wolf (Carnivora: (Canis dirus) in Eurasia
Earliest-known intentionally deformed human cranium from Asia
Last record of Trogontherium cuvieri (Mammalia, Rodentia) from the late Pleistocene of China
Estimating body size in early primates: The case of Archicebus and Teilhardina
Cuboid morphology of a basal anthropoid from the Eocene of China
Phalangeal morphology of Shanghuang fossil primates
Distal phalanges of Eosimias and Hoanghonius
Species diversity and postcranial anatomy of eocene primates from Shanghuang, China
The middle Eocene Shanghuang fissure-fillings, located in southern Jiangsu Province in China near the coastal city of Shanghai (Fig. 1), contain a remarkably diverse array of fossil primates that provide a unique window into the complex role played by Asia during early primate evolution.1 Compared to contemporaneous localities in North America or Europe, the ancient primate community sampled at the Shanghuang fissure-fillings is unique in several…
The bony labyrinth of the early platyrrhine primate Chilecebus
New primate hind limb elements from the middle Eocene of China
A clue to the Asian origin of euprimates
Competing hypotheses maintain that euprimates originated in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, or East Asia, although the earliest unequivocally identified euprimates have been recorded mainly from Europe and North America. Recently we reported the discovery of Teilhardina asiatica from the earliest Eocene of China. This discovery constitutes the oldest unambiguous euprimate from Asia, and represents the most primitive known omomyid. It suggests th…
