Abstract Studies of modeling processes have provided important insights in human evolutionary discipline. Most these studies are based on facial bones and much lesser extent other such as those from the cranial vault. Thus, this study fills a gap research by examining occipital bone subadults, adding individuals under 2 years old expanding sample size available to date. The comprise 14 subadults occipitals (4 months 5 years) archeological sites spanning thirteenth eighteenth century. Resin...

Revealing the evolutionary processes which resulted in derived morphologies that characterize Neanderthal clade has been an important task for paleoanthropologists. One critical method to quantify changes morphology of hominin populations is through evaluating morphological phenotypic diversity (i.e., disparity) phylogenetically informative bones as a close proxy neutral processes. The goal this study degree disparity clade. We hypothesize reduction bony labyrinth indicative underlying...

The recovery of additional mandibular fossils from the Atapuerca Sima de los Huesos (SH) site provides new insights into evolutionary significance this sample. In particular, morphological descriptions adult specimens are provided, along with standardized metric data and phylogenetically relevant features for expanded more complete extend known range variation in mandibles some details. other aspects, addition has made it possible to confirm previous observations based on limited evidence....

Abstract Previous studies on the morphology of inner ear (semicircular canals and cochlea) in Sima de los Huesos hominin sample have provided important results evolution these structures Neandertal lineage. Similarly, anatomy external middle cavities hominins also data auditory capacities this European Middle Pleistocene population. The present contribution provides unpublished three new variables from fossils compares with values samples Pan troglodytes , Homo neanderthalensis sapiens ....

The basicranium contains multiple synchondroses potentially informative for estimating the developmental stage of individuals. basilar synchondrosis has been routinely used this purpose in bioarchaeological, forensic and paleoanthropological research, studies carried out modern human populations have shown a close relationship between fusion occipitomastoidal processes. This articulates jugular process occipital bone with surface temporal bone. As progresses, undergoes series alterations...

Caregiving for disabled individuals among Neanderthals has been known a long time, and there is debate about the implications of this behavior. Some authors believe that caregiving took place between able to reciprocate favor, while others argue was produced by feeling compassion related other highly adaptive prosocial behaviors. The study children with severe pathologies particularly interesting, as have very limited possibility assistance. We present case Neanderthal child who suffered...

We present new datings and a anthropological study of Early Neolithic human remains found in Galería del Sílex 1979. This gallery is part the Cueva Mayor system Sierra de Atapuerca.

Thus, from are among oldest interior Iberian Peninsula. were not within domestic context occupation cave, but rather two pits (simas) located more than hundred meters...
