That the human species exhibits sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and be-havior is an
obvious conclusion from anyone's simple participation in society. It is common knowledge …

In this review of the evidence for and against taxic diversity within the hominin clade, we
begin by looking at the logic and the history of simple “ladder‐like” interpretations of the …

The site of Dmanisi, Georgia, has yielded an impressive sample of hominid cranial and
postcranial remains, documenting the presence of Homo outside Africa around 1.8 million …

The search for the earliest fossil evidence of the human lineage has been concentrated in
East Africa. Here we report the discovery of six hominid specimens from Chad, central Africa …

The lack of an adequate hominid fossil record in eastern Africa between 2 and 3 million
years ago (Ma) has hampered investigations of early hominid phylogeny. Discovery of 2.5 …

Previous research in Chad at the Toros-Menalla 266 fossiliferous locality (about 7 million
years old) uncovered a nearly complete cranium (TM 266-01-60-1), three mandibular …

Most interpretations of early hominin phylogeny recognize a single early to middle Pliocene
ancestral lineage, best represented by Australopithecus afarensis, which gave rise to a …

This review begins by setting out the context and the scope of human evolution. Several
classes of evidence, morphological, molecular, and genetic, support a particularly close …

A broad consensus among paleoanthropologists holds that the Homo clade originated in
Africa sometime between 2· 0 and 3· 0 Ma ago. However, a gap in the east African hominid …

A new partial skeleton of an adult hominid from lower Bed I (about 1.8 Myr ago), Olduvai
Gorge, is described. This specimen's craniodental anatomy indicates attribution to Homo …
