We describe eight, mostly complete white-tailed eagle (Haliaëtus [Haliaeetus] albicilla) talons from the Krapina Neandertal site in present-day Croatia, dating to approximately 130 kyrs ago. Four bear multiple, edge-smoothed cut marks; eight show polishing facets and/or abrasion. Three of largest have small notches at roughly same place along plantar surface, interrupting proximal margin talon blade. These features suggest they were part a jewelry assemblage, --- manipulations consequence...
The replacement theory of modern human origins stipulates that populations outside Africa were replaced by a new African species humans. Here we test the in two peripheral areas far from examining ancestry early Australians and Central Europeans. Analysis pairwise differences was used to determine if dual local archaic earlier Levant and/or could be rejected. data imply both have ancestry. diversity recent humans cannot result exclusively single Late Pleistocene dispersal.

Liang Bua 1 (LB1) exhibits marked craniofacial and postcranial asymmetries other indicators of abnormal growth development. Anomalies aside, 140 cranial features place LB1 within modern human ranges variation, resembling Australomelanesian populations. Mandibular dental LB6/1 either show no substantial deviation from Homo sapiens or share (receding chins rotated premolars) with Rampasasa pygmies now living near Cave. We propose that is drawn an earlier pygmy H. population but individually...
We describe and analyze a Neandertal postcranial skeleton dentition, which together show unambiguous signs of right-handedness. Asymmetries between the left right upper arm in Regourdou 1 were identified nearly 20 years ago, then confirmed by more detailed analyses inner bone structure for clavicle, humerus, radius ulna. The total pattern all bones shoulder reveals that was right-hander. Confirmatory evidence comes from mandibular incisors, display distinct oblique scratches, typical...
Abstract Gross and microscopic examination of the Krapina Neanderthal dental remains reveals presence artificial grooves along cemento‐enamel junction 14 teeth representing ten different individuals. The display distinct morphological features including their consistent location (primarily on mesial and/or distal root walls), troughlike appearance, striations polishing in channel, ridges reactive cementum bordering groove. These occur only erupted, permanent teeth, except for a single...
Abstract Evolutionary trends for dental reduction are presented European Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic samples. The analysis demonstrates that the greatest decrease in tooth size occurs between two divisions of Paleolithic, while little insignificant change characterizes Late Paleolithic/Mesolithic transition. Trends over this period indicate (1) human evolution does not stop with appearance “anatomically modern Homo sapiens ,” (2) changes fluctuate increases efficiency complexity...
Evidence for a relationship between hunting strategies and body size is examined human skeletons dating to the European Upper Paleolithic Mesolithic. Trends reduced limb stature seem be correlated with improvements in types of weapons utilized shift from aggressive more docile game. Although some these observations fit predictions Brues concerning spearman‐archer model, it suggested that selection metabolic demands plausible explanation decrease Mesolithic . [Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic,...
A sample of 82 anterior teeth from Krapina (Croatia) was studied using a light binocular microscope and scanning electron to document the presence non-dietary dental scratches. The patterns distribution, location orientation these marks suggest two different aetiologies: scratches on labial-occlusal enamel border appear be related action clenching abrasive materials between teeth, while primarily in centre labial face correspond cutmarks as described by other researchers. These may have been...
Abstract The discovery of well‐preserved human remains at the site Ohalo II in northern Jordan Valley substantially augments meager fossil record Levantine late Upper Pleistocene. H2 specimen, dated to ca. 19,000 B.P., is most complete early Epipaleolithic hominid discovered Israel and promises contribute clarification a number problematic issues local evolution anatomically modern humans. In addition description burial its Kebaran context, detailed anatomical skeleton offered morphometric...
