Introduction to Human Fossil

In the absence of direct evidence of the postcranial skeleton in the human fossil record, the utility of these features as indicators of human-like posture and locomotion in extinct hominins has received considerable attention from researchers.

Most of what we know about the origin of humans comes from the research of paleoanthropologists, scientists who study human fossils.

Through this work, we evaluate potential benefits of this alternative approach and the contribution such work could make to anthropological debates, through analysis of rare teeth of human or non-human fossils or teeth of individuals where more destructive techniques cannot be applied.

In the human fossil record, vitamin D deficiency coincided with bone tuberculosis.

Human fossils, morphologically recognized as modern, were uncovered and dated at Qafzeh cave (Israel).

Accurate and precise dating is critical to our ordering of human fossils and the Palaeolithic behavioural record.

The human fossil record2.

(2011) indicated that the tendency of human fossil and archeological sites to occur preferentially in areas with a high diversity of habitats and resources, including large river systems.

An evolutionary perspective into human childbirth involves comparing it with birth in our closest living primate relatives, and an examination of the human fossil record to determine when the changes affecting the birth process took place in our evolutionary history.

ABSTRACT The remains that typically compose the human fossil record often bear cracks, damage, and deformations.

CONCLUSION This work provides new original data, incorporates the latest human fossil discoveries and suggests that analyzing the variation of premolar root structural organization, notably integrating together root/canal form and number, could possibly contribute to taxonomic and phylogenetic assessments.

OBJECTIVES We provide the description and comparative analysis of all the human fossil remains found at Axlor during the excavations carried out by J.

This paper presents the identification and study of three new human fossil remains belonging to the Neandertal child Roc de Marsal, found in the eponymous cave site, located near Campagne-de-Bugue, Dordogne, France.

This knowledge can be applied to the understanding of the morphology of the calcaneus and talus as it relates to human foot biomechanics and should also be of use in the interpretation of the human fossil pedal record.

Now, almost 4 decades later, a groundbreaking new way to identify human fossils based on ancient proteins shows the jaw belonged to a Denisovan, a mysterious extinct cousin of Neanderthals.

Thee is found many fossils and the important thing is the human fossil called pitegantropus erectus.

We apply a Bayesian age modelling approach that combines chronometric (radiocarbon, uranium series and optical ages), stratigraphic and genetic data to calculate probabilistically the age of the human fossils at the site.

From South Africa, now recognized as the refuge of early Homo sapiens, migration can be traced through human fossils, cave occupations, camp and work sites, shell middens, animal remains, and tool remnants.

The latter constitute the oldest human fossils from Sibudu.

The HLD human fossils thus variably resemble other later MPl East Asian remains, but add to the overall variation in the sample.

Additionally, it provides the first evidence of a Neandertal human fossil in a stratigraphic context in the Sierra de Atapuerca.

We tested DTA on three different case‐studies: (1) a sample of 14 primate species including both male and female individuals, (2) a simulated, disarticulated skull of Homo sapiens, and (3) a real disarticulated human fossil specimen, Amud 1 (Homo neanderthalensis).
