Great apes and humans evolved from a long-backed ancestor
Developmental identity versus typology: Lucy has only four sacral segments
OBJECTIVES: Both interspecific and intraspecific variation in vertebral counts reflect the action of patterning control mechanisms such as Hox. The preserved A.L. 288-1 ("Lucy") sacrum contains five fused elements. However, the transverse processes of the most caudal element do not contact those of the segment immediately craniad to it, leaving incomplete sacral foramina on both sides. This conforms to the traditional definition of four-segmented…
Genetic and developmental basis for parallel evolution and its significance for hominoid evolution
Greater understanding of ape comparative anatomy and evolutionary history has brought a general appreciation that the hominoid radiation is characterized by substantial homoplasy. 1–4 However, little consensus has been reached regarding which features result from repeated evolution. This has important implications for reconstructing ancestral states throughout hominoid evolution, including the nature of the Pan‐Homo last common ancestor (LCA). Ad…
The case is unchanged and remains robust: Australopithecus afarensis exhibits only moderate skeletal dimorphism. A reply to Plavcan et al. (2005)
Plio-Pleistocene Hominid Limb Proportions: Evolutionary Reversals or Estimation Errors
Sexual dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis was similar to that of modern humans
The substantial fossil record for Australopithecus afarensis includes both an adult partial skeleton [Afar Locality (A.L.) 288-1, “Lucy”] and a large simultaneous death assemblage (A.L. 333). Here we optimize data derived from both to more accurately estimate skeletal size dimorphism. Postcranial ratios derived from A.L. 288-1 enable a significant increase in sample size compared with previous studies. Extensive simulations using modern humans, c…
Developmental Biology and Human Evolution
Our understanding of developmental biology burgeoned during the last decade. This review summarizes recent advances, provides definitions and explanations of some basic principles, and does so in a way that will aid anthropologists in understanding their profound implications. Crucial concepts, such as developmental fields, selector and realizator genes, cell signaling mechanisms, and gene regulatory elements are briefly described and then integr…

The Ordeal of British Guiana
What is so appealing about the Guianese endeavor for socialism is that a country so little, and with resources so limited, has challenged empires so powerful and taken on problems so difficult. Three centuries of Dutch and British colonial rule must be lifted from Guiana's government administration, her social planning, and her economic enterprise. Half of her agricultural wealth and practically all of her mineral production are foreign-owned. Th…
Aluminum Profits and Caribbean People
When Arthur Vining Davis, long-time head of the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa), died last year, he left behind $400 million. Of this, $1 million went to his secretary, about $100 million to the United States in taxes, and $300 million to two Arthur Vining Davis foundations. Income of the foundations—more than $13 million a year if the principal were simply banked—is to be used "for such charitable, scientific, literary, and educational purpo…
