Evidence suggests that the Neanderthal and Homo sapiens lineages began diverging about 600,000 years ago, evolving largely separately in Eurasia and Africa after that time. Around 60,000 years ago H. sapiens began a sign...

The primary goal of the workshop “Meet the Chibanians” held at Novi Sad in 2023—and of the resulting papers—is to establish a broad consensus among the researchers on exactly how to describe the place of hominin ...

After teeth, mandibles and mandibular fragments are the best represented element in the early hominin fossil record. Among these, the mandibular hypodigm of Paranthropus boisei is the largest ascribed to a single early h...

The fossil record of New World vultures (Cathartidae) and hawks (Accipitridae) in South America is extensive but still remains patchy, with relatively few records coming from northern South America. The aim of the presen...

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...

The genus Homo has a moderately high degree of morphological diversity, with about fifteen species proposed. It is debatable whether there could have been several species of Homo coexisting and sharing similar ecological...

The possible producer and environmental setting of large meniscate burrows (Nagtuichnus meuleni igen. and isp. nov.) occurring in late Miocene and Holocene aeolian deposits from Argentina are discussed. These are unbranc...

Preservation of arthropod cuticles is of paramount importance for taphonomic interpretations in which the fossil record of the chitin-protein complex is considered a key molecular signature of the group studied. In this ...

Abstract While the interbreeding of Homo neanderthalensis (hereafter Neanderthal) and Anatomically modern human (AMH) has been proven, owing to the shortage of fossils and absence of appropriate DNA, the timing and geogr...

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...

En el presente trabajo se realiza un estudio sedimentológico y paleontológico en la Formación Lampazar que aflora en la localidad Angosto de La Quesera, franja oeste de la Cordillera Oriental, provincia de Salta. En d...

The fossils of the India Muerta Formation (Neogene, Tucumán Province, Northwestern Argentina) include several vertebrate groups, mainly metatherian, xenarthran, and notoungulate mammals. Nevertheless, these remains have...

A partial carpus belonging to a large, South African Pliocene cercopithecoid was excavated from Kromdraai B (Gauteng, South Africa) between 1977 and 1981 alongside an associated late juvenile metacarpus and several manua...

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 ...

Cornia martinsnetoi sp. nov., the first spinicaudatan from Permian–Triassic continental sequences of southern South America, is described. The new species has characters diagnostic of the typical late Palaeozoic–Earl...

New species of Cryptaulax and Procerithium (Procerithiidae, Caenogastropoda) are reported from the Lower Jurassic (Pliensbachian-Toarcian) marine deposits of west-central Chubut province, Argentinean Patagonia. Three new...

The Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene Río Negro Formation (Río Negro Province, Argentina) contains diverse and abundant continental trace fossils. The purpose of this contribution is to recognize distinctive trace fossil as...

The Peking Man skeletal materials, excavated in China in the 1920s and 1930s, disappeared in December 1941. The assumption that the fossils were acquired by the U.S. military has emerged as the core idea of what we call ...

Spelt husk material is a novel packaging solution intended for equal applications as packaging made of expanded polystyrene (EPS). In the future, husk packaging could therefore at least partially substitute plastics in t...

This article describes the first fossils recorded in the Hernandarias Formation (Pleistocene) in Entre Ríos province (eastern Argentina). They are represented by three teeth assigned to the caviomorph rodents (Rodentia,...

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...

Here we report the first example of associated short-faced bear fossils from South America. The specimens represent three individuals referable to the Ensenadan (early to middle Pleistocene) species Arctotherium angustid...

This study integrates sedimentological, ichnological and palaeoecological analyses in order to better understand the origin of a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate succession deposited during the early Late Valanginian in the...
