  • Neandertal Skeletal Anatomy: Form, Function and Paleobiology

    Open AccessMarcia S Ponce De León, C P E Zollikofer et al.BOOKNeandertal Skeletal Anatomy2026

    The Neandertals (Homo neanderthalensis) are an extinct human species closely related to modern humans. They have the most extensive and well-documented fossil record of any fossil human group, allowing for a detailed understanding of their skeletal anatomy. This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on Neandertals, presenting an in-depth exploration of their paleobiology through both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Con…

  • The Evolution of Human Infancy: Why It Helps to Be Helpless

    K Rosenberg, Karen R RosenbergARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2021Cited by: 10References: 91

    Humans have a prolonged childhood, which begins with an immature developmental state at birth. We take care of these helpless infants through a variety of cultural adaptations, including material culture, provisioning of food, and shared child care. Our species has long been characterized as having secondary altriciality, but an examination of human life history shows that we are fundamentally precocial, despite seeming helpless at birth. Human b…

  • Body size, body proportions, and encephalization in a Middle Pleistocene archaic human from northern China

    Open AccessK Rosenberg, Karen R Rosenberg et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2006

    The unusual discovery of associated cranial and postcranial elements from a single Middle Pleistocene fossil human allows us to calculate body proportions and relative cranial capacity (encephalization quotient) for that individual rather than rely on estimates based on sample means from unassociated specimens. The individual analyzed here (Jinniushan) from northeastern China at 260,000 years ago is the largest female specimen yet known in the hu…

  • The Excavations in Kebara Cave, Mt. Carmel [and Comments and Replies]

    O Bar-Yosef, Bernard Vandermeersch et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1992Cited by: 183References: 9

    This paper summarizes the results of recent excavations (1982-90) at the Middle Paleolithic site of Kebara Cave. Work at the cave by earlier excavators is also discussed. Although analysis of the Kebara materials is still far from completed, an overview of the current stage of the investigations includes (1) a synthesis of the site's complex stratigraphy and dating; (2) a description of the spatial patterning of hearths, ash lenses, and bone and …

  • The evolution of modern human childbirth

    Open AccessK Rosenberg, Karen R RosenbergARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1992Cited by: 61References: 143

    Human birth follows a pattern which is unique among mammals. Distinctions include the orientation of the fetus as it passes through the birth canal, the way the fetus emerges from the birth canal, difficulty during labor, and behavior by the mother and/or other individuals around the time of birth. Birth has important implications for the morphology of the pelvis, for sex differences in the pelvis, for such aspects of human biology as size (and m…

  • Definitive quantification of the smoking effect on birthweight

    Stanley M Garn, K Rosenberg et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1986

    As shown in 45,522 liveborn singletons, the decrease in birthweight associated with maternal smoking during pregnancy may be stated as 5.4 gm/cigarette/day in whites and 2.3 gm/cigarette/day in blacks. If confounding variables such as maternal weight and pregnancy weight gains are factored out, the apparent effects of cigarette smoking alone are reduced by no more than 17 %. New values for birthweights of the progency of nonsmoking mothers still …

  • Relationship between fatness level and size attainment in Central America

    Stanley M Garn, K Rosenberg et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1983

    As shown in 15,085 individuals from six Central American countries, the level of fatness is related to size attainment not only during the growing period but also during adulthood. The fatness effect, manifest in all six Central American countries, tends to be higher in females than in males and bears a hierarchical relationship to the extent of impoverishment and undernutrition among the countries considered. The effect of fatness level on size …
