Unlike developmental biologists, paleoanthropologists primarily investigate development using skeletal remains, specifically fossilized and already-formed bones and teeth. Focusing on peri- and/or postnatal growth, they reconstruct developm...
Jaw-Muscle Structure and Function in Primates: Insights Into Muscle Performance and Feeding-System Behaviors [0.03%]
灵长类的嚼肌结构与功能：关于肌肉表现和进食系统行为的启示
Andrea B Taylor,Megan A Holmes,Myra F Laird et al.
Andrea B Taylor et al.
The jaw-adductor muscles drive the movements and forces associated with primate feeding behaviors such as biting and chewing as well as social signaling behaviors such as wide-mouth canine display. The past several decades have seen a rise ...

Robert Broom, who is best known among vertebrate paleontologists for his research on mammal-like reptiles, was drawn into paleoanthropology because of his defense of Raymond Dart's interpretation of the Taung infant skull. Our contribution ...
Evolution of Human Susceptibility to Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Hypotheses and Comparative Evidence [0.03%]
阿尔茨海默病易感性的进化：假说与比较证据综述

Primates rely on memory to navigate both physical and social environments and in humans, loss of memory function leads to devastating consequences. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease which begins by impacting memory fun...
Comparative Context of Hard-Tissue Sexual Dimorphism in Early Hominins: Implications for Alpha Taxonomy [0.03%]
早期人属性别二态性的比较背景及其对基本分类学的启示
Katharine L Balolia,Bernard Wood

Sexual dimorphism is one of the main factors confounding attempts to generate sound alpha taxonomic hypotheses in the early hominin fossil record. To better understand how between-sex variation may confound alpha taxonomic assessments, we c...

A kiss has been a signal of special affection across continents and cultures for millennia. Between times and peoples, social norms invariably prescribe kissing to specific affiliations and contexts, implying deeper biological bases. Why th...
Back(s) to basics: The concept of backing in stone tool technologies for tracing hominins' technical innovations [0.03%]
回归基本：石器技术中“去皮”概念的溯源以追溯人类的技术创新
Davide Delpiano,Brad Gravina,Marco Peresani
Davide Delpiano
The evolution of Paleolithic stone tool technologies is characterized by gradual increase in technical complexity along with changes in the composition of assemblages. In this respect, the emergence of retouched-backed tools is an important...
Were fewer boys born in the United States during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic? A test of the Trivers-Willard hypothesis [0.03%]
在美国COVID-19大流行初期的几个月里出生的男孩减少了吗？对崔弗斯-威尔lard假说的一种检验

The Trivers-Willard hypothesis predicts that mammalian parents in poor environmental conditions will favor the offspring sex with more reliable chance of reproductive success, which in humans is females. Three months following the onset of ...

We propose that domestication is the result of interspecies cooperative breeding. Considering domestication as an outcome of cooperative breeding can explain how domestication occurs in both plants and animals, encompass cases of domesticat...
