Studying infants in the past is crucial for understanding the evolution of human life history
and the evolution of cooperation, cognition, and communication. An infant's growth, health …

Research on Neanderthals is a topic of growing interest and it may even be considered that
this subject will get more attention in the future. The demise and diets of the various …

Measurements of modern bone and tooth enamel show that calcium stable isotopes (δ 44
Ca), zinc (δ 66 Zn), and strontium (δ 88 Sr) have great potential as ecological and dietary …

This study presents high-precision analyses of calcium (Ca) isotope ratios using a collision-
cell multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (CC-MC-ICP-MS, Nu …

Zooarcheological and geochemical evidence suggests Neanderthals were top predators,
but their adherence to a strictly carnivorous diet has been questioned. Recent studies have …

Biased skeletal part representation is a key element for making inferences about transport
decisions, carcass procurement, and use patterns in anthropogenic accumulations. In the …

Recent studies showed the potential of stable isotopes of the macronutrient calcium
(δ44/40Ca) and nonessential strontium (δ88/86Sr) as new trophic level indicators in …

The acquisition of large prey by hominins living during the Marine Isotope Stage 3, including
Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Humans, had nutritional and bioenergetic …

Gigantopithecus blacki is the largest hominoid with massive jaws and thick tooth enamel in
the world and lasts from the early Early Pleistocene to the middle Pleistocene in South …

There are clues that calcium (Ca) isotope composition of vertebrate bioapatite is influenced
