The genetic implications of biological and cultural structuring processes during hominid evolution
Human Evolution - Tập 20 - Trang 123-135 - 2005
Human populations are genetically structured through biological reproduction but reproduction is socially structured through culturally expressed systems of marriage, hence the need to take into account the cultural dimension of human societies when considering the genetic structure of modern human populations. The interplay between these two structuring processes is examined through the implicati...... hiện toàn bộ
Non-mental aspects of encephalisation: The forebrain as a playground of mammalian evolution
Human Evolution - Tập 4 - Trang 45-53 - 1989
Neo-darwinian theory holds that changes in mammalian and avian body morphology follow behavioral adaptation. The problem then is to explain how random mutations can result in a sufficiently rapid reorganization of the most complex biological system —common sense would predict that the CNS is the slowest to evolve. This paper attempts a parsimonious explanation which predicts that the accumulation ...... hiện toàn bộ
Statistical aspects of Mahalanobis distance based methodology
Human Evolution - Tập 5 - Trang 483-491 - 1990
After a methodological introduction (section 1) it is indicated why Cherry et al. (1982) were not fair in suggesting that Mahalanobis distance is less reliable than other simple characteristics of morphological distance. The argument is that these authors used the type of Mahalanobis distance where the covariance matrix is based on the scores of the pair of samples to be compared. They should also...... hiện toàn bộ
A new genus and species of an early Eocene primate from North Africa
Human Evolution - Tập 7 - Trang 9-16 - 1992
A new Adapiform Primate from the locality of Chambi (Tunisia) is described and assigned toDjebelemur martinezi gen.nov., sp. nov. Holotype CBI 33, fragment of left mandible with P/3-M/3. Other material includes a lower and two upper isolated molars and one probable lower canine. This new material is assigned to the Adapidae.
Cortical motor asymmetry and hominid feeding strategies
Human Evolution - Tập 1 - Trang 183-187 - 1986
Homo sapiens differs from all other primates in having a cerebrum that is markedly asymmetrical for a number of functions, including motor control of the hands. The ability to coordinate the two hands while each is engaged in a different task is not highly developed in non-human primates and may have been an important behavioral distinction between early apes and hominids....... hiện toàn bộ
On the origins of body size dimorphism in primates
Human Evolution - Tập 1 - Trang 77-91 - 1986
Among many explanations concerning the origins of dimorphism in Primates, none has received as little attention as the differences in energy requirements of the two sexes. It is hypothesised that among Primates, a common strategy for overcoming the extra metabolic load of pregnency and lactation experienced by females during the greater part of their adult lifetimes, is for them to reduce their bo...... hiện toàn bộ
The South African australopithecines: A palaeodemographic analysis
Human Evolution - Tập 17 - Trang 253-266 - 2002
Anthropologists, demographers and historians alike are continually seeking information about demographic profiles of prehistoric and ancient human populations. There are many different approaches relevant to the problem, yet direct evidence of the demographic structure of any archaeological population is primarily provided by analysis of human skeletal and dental remains. This offers a possibility...... hiện toàn bộ
Bifaces in China
Human Evolution - - 1989
More and more archaeological discoveries show that bifaces are not absent from China, South and East Asia. Bifaces played a very important role in early Paleolithic industries here. The tool assemblage of this industry is similar to those of biface cultures in Africa and Europe. These discoveries will increasingly fill and level up the ≪gap≫ between the cultures of the East and West.
Late pleistocene climatic reconstruction in North Africa and the emergence of modern Europeans
Human Evolution - Tập 2 - Trang 311-319 - 1987
A critical evaluation of a replacementist hypothesis regarding the origin of modernH. sapiens in Europe as suggested byN. T. Boaz D. Ninkovitch & M. Rossignol-Strick (1982) is presented. These authors have contended that harsh desertic conditions in North Africa between 40 ky — 30 ky B. P. resulted in the movement of modern humans from this region around the Mediterranean littoral into Europe. Two...... hiện toàn bộ
