With the discoveries of new hominin fossils from historically well-studied as well as poorly sampled regions, and thanks to great advances in paleogenetic studies, Asian paleoanthropology has now entered a new phase of r...

Since initial excavations in 1948, the site of Swartkrans, located in the ‘Cradle of Humankind,’ South Africa has yielded hundreds of fossil hominin specimens belonging to species of Paranthropus, Homo, and possibly ...

Fossils collected by Abel Peirano from Catamarca and Tucumán in the late 1930s constituted the basis for the creation of the Colección Paleontología de Vertebrados Lillo (PVL) in Tucumán. The collection was formally ...

The Deseado Massif, which is located in the western part of the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, contains numerous hot spring deposits related to the final stages of the Bahía Laura Complex. The aim of this study is to a...

The fragmentary early Homo fossil record represents a temporally expansive and complex lineage that is morphologically and geographically diverse. This large amount of variation, which also captures the transition period...

This study aims to test the effectiveness of sawdust as an alternative fuel to replace coal in a 50 MW power plant in an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and have a negative impact on the environment. The use ...

The Middle Pleistocene hominin fossil record is taxonomically diverse, with Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalesis, Homo naledi, and Homo erectus, all existing at various times during this period. These species are generally...

Amid escalating global climate concerns, the reliance of the transportation sector on high-carbon fossil fuels urgently demands sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emis...

Deciphering the taxonomic and evolutionary relationships among hominin fossils of the Chibanian (ca. 774–129 ka) is challenging. This difficulty stems from biological factors such as mosaic patterns of morphological ch...

Among the Middle Pleistocene African fossils that are central to discussions about the evolution of Homo sapiens is the partial cranium from Florisbad, South Africa. The fossil, dated to MIS 8 (300–243 ka BP), combines...

The depletion of non-renewable fossil energy reserves is the main reason for this research to develop renewable energy as a substitute for diesel fuel. One of the alternatives studied is the production of biodiesel from ...

Neogene deposits of northwestern Argentina host an outstanding ichnological record of the Cenozoic vertebrate faunas developed within a context of continental isolation in South America. The Vinchina (Middle to Late Mioc...

Renewable energy is energy that comes from natural resources that are continuously available. Renewable energy will replace fossil fuels that will slowly run out, fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal. Dependence on fos...

Dysnoetoporidae is a family of cheilostome bryozoans including only the genus Dysnoetopora Canu and Bassler, 1926, with three recognized species from the Late Cretaceous of the United States, Crimea, and Germany. The aim...

Los estudios neotafonómicos de vertebrados proveen información sobre los mecanismos y procesos que pueden modificar las características originales de los elementos esqueléticos de vertebrados actuales, y pueden usars...

Xujiayao, located in northern China, is an important paleoanthropological site because it dates to the late Middle Pleistocene (~200 ka - ~160 ka) and has a combination of hominin fossils, archaeology, and other vertebra...
