Over the past three decades, a new picture of our own ancestral past has emerged through the elucidation of the complex genetic relationships between Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans by the direct analysis of ...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Many of the names used by specialists in studies of hominin evolution are outside the formal Linnaean classification governed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. These non-Linnaean names include many of...

Species identification in fossils often implicitly makes use of geographic and temporal gaps in the record to help bolster arguments distinguishing one species from another.  As these gaps start to be filled, paleontolo...

This study integrates a novel multi-beam bathymetry and high-resolution sub-bottom seismic database with previous works, to investigate a Late Quaternary Mixed (turbidite-contourite) Depositional System (MDS) related to ...

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...

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...

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...

En este trabajo se realiza el estudio distribucional del conjunto arqueofaunístico de la unidad 4 del sitio Casa del Minero 1 –Meseta Central de Santa Cruz, Patagonia argentina– para comprender las formas de organiz...

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...
