In most primate species, males transfer out of their natal groups, resulting in groups of unrelated males. However, in a few species, including humans, males remain in their groups and form life-long associations with each other. This patte...

The traditional regional focus of evolutionary anthropology-typically defined as places where hominin fossils, nonhuman primates, and non-western populations reside-forms the basis of much evolutionary anthropological research. Using the hi...

In 1938, the first distal femur of a fossil Australopithecus was discovered at Sterkfontein, South Africa. A decade later, another distal femur was discovered at the same locality. These two fossil femora were the subject of a foundational ...
Punctuated equilibrium at 50: Anything there for evolutionary anthropology? Yes; definitely [0.03%]

Michael J OBrien et al.
The theory of punctuated equilibrium (PE) was developed a little over 50 years ago to explain long-term, large-scale appearance and disappearance of species in the fossil record. A theory designed specifically for that purpose cannot be exp...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a gastrointestinal disease, is a global phenomenon correlated with industrialization. We propose that an evolutionary medicine approach is useful to understand this disease from an ultimate perspective and co...

To understand the ecological dominance of Homo sapiens, we need to investigate the origins of the plasticity that has enabled our colonization of the planet. We can approach this by exploring the variability of habitats to which different h...
The use of chimpanzee-modified faunal assemblages to investigate early hominin carnivory [0.03%]
利用黑猩猩的遗存动物群探讨早期人科动物的肉食行为

Chimpanzees regularly hunt and consume prey smaller than themselves. It seems therefore likely that early hominins also consumed small vertebrate meat before they started using and producing stone tools. Research has focused on cut marks an...
Specimens as individuals: Four interventions and recommendations for great ape skeletal collections research and curation [0.03%]
个体化收藏标本:关于大猿骨骼收藏研究和保存的四项干预措施及建议

Extensive discourse surrounds the ethics of human skeletal research and curation, but there has yet to be a similar discussion of the treatment of great ape skeletal remains, despite the clear interest in their ethical treatment when alive....
Revisiting geophagy: An evolved sickness behavior to microbiome-mediated gastrointestinal inflammation [0.03%]
重新审视地质饮食学:肠道微生物介导的胃肠炎症引发的一种进化性病态行为

Geophagy, the consumption of clay or similar substances, is known as an evolved behavior that protects vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women and children, against gastrointestinal injury. However, perplexing questions remain, like ...
