The oldest Oldowan tool sites, from around 2.6 million years ago, have previously been
confined to Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. We describe sites at Nyayanga, Kenya, dated to 3.032 …

It is axiomatic that knowledge of the diets of extinct hominin species is central to any
understanding of their ecology and our evolution. The importance of diet in the …

Isotopes in fossil tooth enamel provide robust tools for reconstructing food webs, which have
been understudied in Australian megafauna. To delineate the isotopic composition of …

Despite substantial additions to the paleontological record and unanticipated improvements
in analytical techniques since the Journal of Human Evolution was first published …

Carbon isotopic analysis has been challenging our ideas about hominin diet for nearly 30
years. The first study in 1994 revealed that Paranthropus robustus from South Africa …

The evidence is clear that climate change is the greatest challenge facing mankind today.
Africa is disproportionately burdened by multiple direct and cascading impacts of the climate …

Metal stable isotopic composition of dental enamel is a novel proxy for reconstructing human
dietary structure. Magnesium is the second most prevalent element in teeth only after …

Diet was critical to the growing early Homo brain, which required brain-selective nutrients
such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), iodine, and iron for growth. Fish and shellfish were …
