Châtelperronian cultural diversity at its western limits: Shell beads and pigments from La Roche-à-Pierrot, Saint-Césaire | PNAS The timing and mechanisms underlying the gradual replacement of Neanderthal populations by Homo sapiens groups have elicited heated debate for deca...

Enamel–dentine junction morphology reveals population replacement and mobility in the late prehistoric Middle Nile Valley | PNAS Transitions from foraging to food-production represent a worldwide turning point in recent human history. In the Middle Nile Valley this cultural s...

🚨14.000 years of population history revealed!🚨

What happened to the late prehistoric populations in the Nile Valley?
Our new study uncovers major migrations, population replacement and regional mobility at the Neolithic transition!

Thickness measurements and micro‐CT imaging of human temporo‐mandibular discs This study aimed to analyze the morphology of human temporo-mandibular discs. We measured thickness at nine points, observed disc perforations, and highlighted the potential of micro-CT imaging to ma...

I created one in #Archaeology, does your field too need a @PeerCommunityIn for free and transparent evaluation of scientific manuscripts?
Yes, 💎💎💎 #openscience, and keep pumping those 💵💵💵 back into your research, not publishers' pockets!

Resignation of the Journal of Human Evolution Editorial Board: We are saddened to announce the resignations of The Joint Editors-in-Chief, all Emeritus Editors retired or active in the field, and all but one Associate Editor. Press release below.

Human-like enamel growth in Homo naledi

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Enamel growth of H.naledi is most similar to recent humans though comparative data are limited for most fossil hominin species. The high Retzius periodicity values do not follow expectations for a small-brained hominin
