Recent developments in the field of palaeoanthropology necessitate the suppression of two
hominin taxa and the introduction of a new species of hominins to help resolve the current …

Abstract The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human
evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage, as well as that of …

Baboons (genus Papio) are a morphologically and behaviorally diverse clade of catarrhine
monkeys that have experienced hybridization between phenotypically and genetically …

Previous scientific consensus saw human evolution as defined by adaptive differences
(behavioural and/or biological) and the emergence of Homo sapiens as the ultimate …

In the evolutionary radiation of the human genus, we have observed changes in both brain
size and proportions. Some of these morphological differences are thought to be associated …

Despite their evolutionary relevance, multispecies networks or syngameons are rarely
reported in the literature. Discovering how syngameons form and how they are maintained …

The scenario of Homo sapiens origin/s within Africa has become increasingly complex, with
a pan‐African perspective currently challenging the long‐established single‐origin …

Baboons, members of the genus Papio, comprise six closely related species distributed
throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southwest Arabia. The species exhibit more ecological …

Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing in ancient humans, the likelihood that
Homo sapiens and Neanderthals admixed has long been debated, mostly on the basis of …

Contemporary understandings of paleoanthropological data illustrate that the search for a
line defining, or a specific point designating,“modern human” is problematic. Here we lend …
