Abstract: Significance Fossils of early Homo sapiens from Herto, Ethiopia, show that populations living in Africa 160,000 years ago had already evolved brains broadly equivalent in size to those of humans living today. However, these early… read more here.

Abstract: Calcium isotopic ratios in dental enamel of South African hominins reveal taxon-dependent nursing behaviors. Nursing is pivotal in the social and biological evolution of hominins, but to date, early-life behavior among hominin lineages is a… read more here.

Abstract: Human carnivory is atypical among primates. Unlike chimpanzees and bonobos, who are known to hunt smaller monkeys and eat them immediately, human foragers often cooperate to kill large animals and transport them to a safe… read more here.
