Sex assessment in a hominin upper second molar (RV’23-350) from the Ruidera (Spain) Middle Pleistocene paleoanthropological site
Sex determination in fossil hominin remains is often challenging due to the fragmentary nature of the record and the limitations of morphological assessments. In this study, we apply a proteomic approach to assess the sex of an upper second molar (RV’23-350) from the Middle Pleistocene site of Ruidera (Spain). By analyzing the presence of amelogenin, a key enamel protein encoded by genes on both the X and Y chromosomes, we provide molecular evide…
Exploring Early Human Presence in West Central Africa’s Rainforests
Since 2014, the Paleoanthropology Group of the National Museum of Natural Sciences (CSIC), in collaboration with Equatoguinean researchers, has been conducting archeo-paleontological fieldwork in Equatorial Guinea, continuing a longstanding Spanish naturalist tradition in this region of West Central Africa. These multidisciplinary investigations, framed within an archeo-paleo-anthropological approach, aim primarily to identify early human occupat…
Highlighting the drastic body size decline in Cantabrian Brown Bear, Chamois and Wild Horse during the Holocene
During the Holocene, Iberian ecosystems have changed dramatically in response to different biotic and abiotic drivers. Typically, the impact of these changes on ecosystems is assessed in terms of the variation of diversity in the communities that compose them. However, there are a wide variety of population-specific parameters of vital importance for the maintenance of the structure and health of these ecosystems. In this study, we have focused o…
Lack of data and misperception of open science limit the scope of Cantabrian brown bear body mass studies, not misinterpretation of results
This manuscript responds to the comment of García-Vázquez on our recent paper, especially regarding the decline in body mass of the Cantabrian brown bear during the Holocene. The observations of García-Vázquez are reviewed point by point, addressing methodological aspects, that is, the use of the Viranta equation, the mass estimation of the specimen SH5-97-T29-35 and radiocarbon dating, as well as her ethical questions about the use of previously…
Widespread evidence of Middle Stone Age (MSA) presence in Equatorial Guinea (West-Central Atlantic Africa)
An actualistic taphonomic model of human tooth marks on bone remains
Identifying human tooth marks in archaeological assemblages remains a challenging and unresolved matter. In stark contrast to the extensive comparative work conducted on tooth marks from living carnivores, the field of taphonomy has yet to establish a distinct pattern of modifications attributed to human chewing. Furthermore, the identification of human tooth marks is surrounded by significant and unresolved issues of equifinality. Addressing the…
An Updated Review of The Quaternary Hippopotamus Fossil Records from the Iberian Peninsula
This work presents a comprehensive review of the Quaternary fossil records of hippopotamuses from the Iberian Peninsula, unveiling biogeographical insights of global significance. The results presented herein include the inference of a delayed arrival of Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus antiquus) populations onto the Iberian Peninsula compared to other European Mediterranean regions, with an estimated age of ca. 1.7 Ma, in contrast to 2.1–2.2 Ma elsewh…
First presence of Macaca sylvanus at the late Early Pleistocene of Barranc de la Boella (La Mina locality, Francolí Basin, NE Iberia)
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 891529
