Neoecology and paleoecology both seek to answer the same questions, albeit using
different material, at different time scales and with different limitations. Nevertheless, too …

Dietary information of fossil mammals can be revealed via the analysis of tooth morphology,
tooth wear, tooth geochemistry, and the microscopic wear patterns on tooth surfaces …

Thin on the Ground: Neandertal Biology, Archeology and Ecology synthesizes the current
knowledge about our sister species the Neandertals, combining data from a variety of …

Dental microwear has long been used as evidence concerning the diets of extinct species.
Here, we present a comparative baseline series of dental microwear textures for a sample of …

Neanderthals have been commonly depicted as top predators who met their nutritional
needs by focusing entirely on meat. This information mostly derives from faunal assemblage …

In the late Middle and early Late Pleistocene, Neandertals inhabited a wide variety of
ecological zones across western Eurasia during both glacial and interglacial times. To …

Many researchers have suggested that Australopithecus anamensis and Australopithecus
afarensis were among the earliest hominins to have diets that included hard, brittle items …

The Neandertal lineage developed successfully throughout western Eurasia and effectively
survived the harsh and severely changing environments of the alternating glacial/interglacial …

Dental microwear analysis is a proxy for analysing the diet in extinct and extant vertebrates,
especially mammals. The limits of these approaches are still rather poorly known, especially …

We assess diet and economies of middle Holocene (∼ 7,500 to 4,000 calibrated [cal] BP)
humans at coexisting mound sites (Huaca Prieta and Paredones) in north coastal Peru and …
