Upper Pleistocene Hominid Evolution in South-Central Europe
South-Central Europe has yielded rather large and significant samples of archaic and early modern Homo sapiens dated to the Upper Pleistocene. These hominid samples have received proportionately little detailed consideration in discussions of the nature of the relationship between archaic and modern Homo sapiens in Europe. The First purpose of this paper is to review this material. The second purpose of this paper is to review this material. The …

Homo erectus —who, when and where
The state of information bearing on Homo erectus as developed since about 1960 is surveyed, with the resulting effects on problems. Definitions of H. erectus still rest on the Far Eastern samples (Chou‐k'ou‐tien/Java), and thus relate to late Lower to middle Middle Pleistocene material. Numerous important individual finds, however, have expanded the total: extension of the early and very early Sangiran material; very early to later in Africa, and…
Australian Tooth-Size Clines and the Death of a Stereotype [and Comments and Reply]
Tooth size in Australia ran from a minimum in the Cape York Peninsula of northern Queensland to a maximum in the Murray Basin. The available data suggest that the earliest Australians possessed large jaws and teeth and that subsequently genes for smaller tooth size entered Australia from the northeast corner a model which is consistent with the evidence for the spread of a variety of cultural and technological items. While the evidence is tentati…
Sapienization and Speech [and Comments and Reply]
Middle Pleistocene erectus skulls differ from ours in fifteen discrete traits, primary among which are their smaller cranial capacities, flatter and more strongly constructed braincases, larger and more anteriorly projecting faces, and inflected mastoid processes. Back to 40,000 years ago all fossil hominids are of the sapiens desing, while all those clearly older show the erectus pattern. Except for their large brains, Neandertals are of the ere…
Implications of Border Cave Skeletal Remains for Later Pleistocene Human Evolution [and Comments and Reply]
Recent excavations have helped to clarify the cultural and stratigraphic sequences at Border Cave, and human skeletal remains recovered at this South African site may well be associated with a Middle Stone Age industry. A partial adult cranium is of particular interest, and this was originally described as quite different both from African Negro and from Bushman individuals. Eleven measurements were taken on the fossil, and these provide a basis …

Physical variation and history in Melanesia and Australia
Local biological variation is marked in Melanesia. Some of it may result from gene flow from Micronesia, but the essential variation appears to result from isolation due to social fragmentation, and to genetic drift in place. In different regions, the variation may correspond well with language relationships, and probably constitutes differentiation which has been preserved over a considerable period, especially since the arrival of horticulture …

Did La Ferrassie I Use His Teeth as a Tool? [and Comments and Reply]
Ten years ago, in CURRENT ANTHROPOLOGY, Brace advanced the hypothesis that the classic Neandertals were not evolutionary dead ends, but rather represented populations that evolved into modern man. Brace's selective mechanism to account for the supposed reduction of the classic Neandertal dentition and face was founded on the assumption that the rounding wear on Neandertal incisors resulted from extensive use of these teeth as tools. In this paper…

Neanderthals
The Neanderthal "problem" is less likely to be solved by hypotheses which are broad and inclusive, with respect to late Pleistocene hominids, than by more limited ones for which existing data are suitable and which conform in as many dimensions as possible to evolutionary theory. Specifically, the Brose-Wolpoff hypothesis (1971) fails to use a "population" understanding of Upper Pleistocene hominid variation and argues a universal model of Middle…

The Fate of the "Classic" Neanderthals
The Current View That the "Classic" Neanderthals Were an aberrant, specialized, or otherwise peculiar side branch which eventually became extinct without descendants has its origins in anti-evolutionary interpretations placed upon the available hominid fossils by the french palaeontologist marcellin boule in the early part of the current century. The theoretical bases of boule's thinking stem from the early nineteenth century position of George C…

The use of multivariate techniques in the study of skeletal populations
A major problem in taxonomic or evolutionary studies (micro or macro) of populations through their skeletal remains is what to do about single specimens, or samples of half a dozen, or fragments of skeletons. Multivariate analysis makes possible finer distinctions of all sorts than does univariate analysis, including sex and population assignment, allowing such placement objectively when adequate samples of identified populations are available to…

Criteria for selection of osteometric dimensions
Measurements, especially of the cranium, which allows the location of larger numbers of anatomical points, have tended to become bound by tradition. Where simple description of a skull is required, the standard dimensions and indices are familiar and serviceable. For purposes of population comparison and of analysis of the variation of form, however, little thought has been given in the past to the actual importance of one measurement relative to…

Crania from Wyoming Resembling 'Minnesota Man
In the summer of 1935, a road gang working in the vicinity of Torrington, Wyoming, near the north bank of the North Platte River, was blasting for road material in the face of a low bluff. Among the debris of one explosion they found several broken skeletons, together with a few stone artifacts and some bone beads. The artifacts were dispersed among the workmen, but the skeletal material, together with a few of the beads, came into the hands of D…
