The Homo erectus Female Revisited
The Energetic Consequences of Being a Homo erectus Female was published in the American Journal of Human Biology over two decades ago. This paper drew attention to the high body‐size‐related reproductive costs of an H. erectus female if she retained the same reproductive schedule of smaller‐bodied earlier hominins modeled on the schedule for modern Pan . The main conclusion was that the energetic cost per offspring would be significantly reduced …

Wenner‐Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research
The Wenner‐Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research is a private operating foundation whose mission is to support significant and innovative research in all areas of anthropology, to foster the international anthropological community, and to provide leadership in the field. It was established in 1941 and today provides between $5 million and $6 million annually in support of the discipline internationally through varied grant, fellowship, net…

Why Do Fewer Women Than Men Apply for Grants After Their Phds
In spring 2013, the Society for American Archaeology created the Task Force on Gender Disparities in Archaeological Grant Submissions because of an apparent disparity in the rates of senior (post-PhD) proposal submissions by men and women to archaeology programs at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. Although NSF success rates for men and women between 2009 and 2013 were roughly equal…

The Wenner-Gren Foundation
The Wenner-Gren Foundation is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2016. It was founded in 1941 with an endowment of approximately US$2 million in Servel and Electrolux stock, funds that Axel Wenner-Gren and his lawyers were sheltering from the US Internal Revenue Service. Over the foundation's 75-year history, nothing has been added to the endowment, but it has grown to approximately US$165 million. Wenner-Gren has never been a large foundation i…

Evolution of early Homo
Background Until recently, the evolution of the genus Homo has been interpreted in the context of the onset of African aridity and the expansion of open grasslands. Homo erectus was considered to be a bona fide member of the genus Homo , but opinions diverged on the generic status of earlier, more fragmentary fossils traditionally attributed to Homo habilis and Homo rudolfensis . Arguments about generic status of these taxa rested on inferred sim…

Crisis, Value, and Hope
The varied papers in this issue explore the complex ways in which people in different ethnographic contexts negotiate often precarious conditions to make a life for themselves and for future generations. Crisis, value, and hope provide the three major cross-cutting themes for the papers. Crisis refers to the processes beyond individual control that force change in traditional modes of livelihood and value to the recognition that value exceeds mer…

Tooth wear, Neanderthal facial morphology and the anterior dental loading hypothesis
The Anterior Dental Loading Hypothesis states that the unique Neanderthal facial and dental anatomy was an adaptive response to the regular application of heavy forces resulting from both the masticatory and cultural use of the anterior teeth. Heavy anterior tooth wear frequently observed in Neanderthal specimens is cited as a main source of evidence for heavy forces being applied to these teeth. From this, it might be predicted that the wear sho…

Energetics and the Evolution of the GenusHomo
The genus Homo as represented by Homo ergaster (= early African Homo erectus) is characterized by a pattern of features that is more similar to modern humans than to the earlier and contemporaneous australopithecines and paranthropines. These features include larger relative brain sizes, larger bodies, slower rates of growth and maturation, dedicated bipedal locomotion, and smaller teeth and jaws. These features are phenotypic expressions of a ve…
Cranial variables as predictors of hominine body mass
Body mass is a key variable in investigating the evolutionary biology of the hominines ( Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo ). It is not only closely related to life‐history parameters but also provides a necessary baseline for studies of encephalization or megadonty. Body mass estimates are normally based on the postcranial skeleton. However, the majority of hominid fossils are cranio‐dental remains that are unassociated with postcranial m…

Ontogeny of facial dimorphism and patterns of individual development within one human population
Based on a longitudinal study of radiographs of the Denver Growth Study, we investigated the morphological development of individual and gender differences in the anterior neurocranium, face, and basicranium. In total, 500 X‐rays of 14 males and 14 females, each with 18 landmarks and semilandmarks, were digitized and analyzed using geometric morphometric methods. Sexual dimorphism in shape and form is already present at the earliest age stage inc…

Cranial suture closure and its implications for age estimation
Three age estimation techniques using ectocranial and/or endocranial suture closure are tested on a sample of known age from Spitalfields, London in order to determine the value of cranial suture closure as an indicator of age at death. The three techniques are those proposed by Acsádi and Nemeskéri, Meindl and Lovejoy and Perizonius. Results indicate that the Acsádi and Nemeskéri technique, which is based on endocranial sutures, can be used to d…
Five years of Homo floresiensis
Since Homo floresiensis was first described in October 2004 there has been a lively debate over its status. Is it a late surviving species of early Homo or merely a modern individual afflicted with disordered growth and one of the many syndromes resulting in microchephaly? Recently the discovery team has published a series of articles providing detailed descriptions of the hominin material, its geomorphological context, and the associated archaeo…

Technical note
Here we describe and evaluate a new method for quantifying long bone curvature using geometric morphometric and semi‐landmark analysis of the human femur. The technique is compared with traditional ways of measuring subtense and point of maximum curvature using either coordinate calipers or projection onto graph paper. Of the traditional methods the graph paper method is more reliable than using coordinate calipers. Measurement error is consisten…

Taxonomic and functional implications of mandibular scaling in early hominins
Body mass estimates for fossil hominin taxa can be obtained from suitable postcranial and cranial variables. However, the nature of the taphonomic processes that winnow the mammalian fossil record are such that these data are usually only available for the minority of the specimens that comprise the hypodigm of a species. This study has investigated the link between species mean body mass and the height and width of the mandibular corpus in a cor…
