This paper reviews information on past vegetation of tropical Africa during the Cenozoic, focused upon the last 10Ma, a time spanning hominid record in Central and East Africa …
It has been 10 years since publication of the first edition ofSoils of the Past. In that time the subject of paleopedology hasgrown rapidly, and established itself within the mainstream …
Hominid fossils predating the emergence of Australopithecus have been sparse and fragmentary. The evolution of our lineage after the last common ancestor we shared with …
Gene duplication is an important source of phenotypic change and adaptive evolution. We leverage a haploid hydatidiform mole to identify highly identical sequences missing from the …

It has been argued recently that the initial dispersal of anatomically modern humans from Africa to southern Asia occurred before the volcanic “supereruption” of the Mount Toba …
The genetic divergence time between two species varies substantially across the genome, conveying important information about the timing and process of speciation. Here we …
Understanding the molecular basis that underlies the expansion of the neocortex during primate, and notably human, evolution requires the identification of genes that are …
Primates have long been a test case for the development of phylogenetic methods for divergence time estimation. Despite a large number of studies, however, the timing of …
