New insights into the first cervical vertebrae of Otavipithecus and Nacholapithecus
Abstract
Fossil hominoids are crucial to understand the selection pressures that played a role in the emergence of modern hominoid positional behaviors. Here we investigate the morphology of the atlas of Otavipithecus namibiensis (GSN BA 104’91,...

Phalangeal cortical bone distribution reveals different dexterous and climbing behaviors in Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi
Abstract
The evolution of the human hand is marked by a transition from a hand primarily used for locomotion to one primarily used for dexterous manipulation. The hand skeletons of Plio-Pleistocene hominins have different mosaics of human-like f...

Long legs and small joints: The locomotor capabilities of Homo naledi
Abstract
The lower limb of Homo naledi presents a suite of primitive, derived and unique morphological features that pose interesting questions about the nature of bipedal movement in this species. The exceptional representation of all skeletal ...

Enamel proteins reveal biological sex and genetic variability in southern African Paranthropus.
Abstract
Paranthropus robustus is a morphologically well-documented Early Pleistocene hominin species from southern Africa with no genetic evidence reported so far. In this work, we describe the mass spectrometric sequencing of enamel peptides f...

Enamel proteins reveal biological sex and genetic variability within southern African Paranthropus
Abstract
The evolutionary relationships among extinct African hominin taxa are highly debated and largely unresolved, due in part to a lack of molecular data. Even within taxa, it is not always clear, based on morphology alone, whether ranges of...
