Functional insights from an exploration of the inner structure of the patella: new perspectives for the study of the hominin fossil record by Marine Cazenave

“…Here, we illustrate with a first example from a sample of human, Pan, Papio and Neanderthal patellae that the development of a "whole-bone" endostructural analysis has the potential to provide relevant functional information for reconstructing the knee loading environment in fossil taxa, combined, whenever necessary, with a subsampling approach. …”

A sedimentary ancient DNA perspective on human and carnivore persistence through the Late Pleistocene in El Mirón Cave, Spain by Pere Gelabert, Victoria Oberreiter, Lawrence Guy Straus, Manuel Ramón González Morales, Susanna Sawyer, Ana B. Marín-Arroyo, Jeanne Marie Geiling, Florian Exler, Florian Brueck, Stefan Franz, Fernanda Tenorio Cano, Sophie Szedlacsek, Evelyn Zelger, Michelle Hämmerle, Brina Zagorc, Alejandro Llanos-Lizcano, Olivia Cheronet, José-Miguel Tejero, Thomas Rattei, Stephan M.

Considérations ontogénétiques et phylogénétiques concernant l’origine de la parole by Louis-Jean Boë, Jean Granat, Jean-Louis Heim, Jean-Luc Schwartz, Pierre Badin, Guillaume Barbier, Guillaume Captier, Antoine Serrurier, Nicolas Kielwasser

“…We analyzed 31 skulls from now to 1.5 Ma (millions years) BP (Before Present) for fossil hominids available at the Muséedel’Homme in Paris or in the literature: (1) 10-30 ka BP: modern humans: Paleolithic; (2) 90-200 ka BP: anatomically modern humans; (3) 45-90 ka BP: Neanderthals; (4) 1.5 Ma BP: Homoergaster; These skulls are all well kept and possess a jaw in the majority of cases but the vertebral column has been reconstituted. …”
