Hominin taxic diversity: Fact or fantasy?
B Wood, E K. Boyle - American journal of physical anthropology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
In this review of the evidence for and against taxic diversity within the hominin clade, we
begin by looking at the logic and the history of simple “ladder‐like” interpretations of the …

A simple rule governs the evolution and development of hominin tooth size
The variation in molar tooth size in humans and our closest relatives (hominins) has strongly
influenced our view of human evolution. The reduction in overall size and disproportionate …

The evolution of the human foot
There are 26 bones in each foot (52 in total), meaning that roughly a quarter of the human
skeleton consists of foot bones. Yet, early hominin foot fossils are frustratingly rare, making it …
