Identité biologique des artisans moustériens de Kebara (Mont Carmel, Israël) Réflexions sur le concept de néanderthalien au Levant méditerranéen by Anne-Marie Tillier, Baruch Arensburg, Jaroslav Brůžek

“…The excellent state of preservation of the hominid remains enables a new insight into the anatomy of Levantine Middle Palaeolithic populations and provides important data for reconstructing the pattern of human evolution in the Near East. With this in view, re-examination of some skeletal remains recovered at Kebara Cave suggests. that biological differences and similarities may have existed between Neanderthals and Levantine Middle Palaeolithic hominids, strengthening the existence of regional variation.…”

Introduction au dossier Regards sur le passé : 30 ans de la Société Francophone de Primatologie by Vincent Leblan, Victor Narat

“…Here, three contributions consider the past with three time scales (paleontological, ecological, ethological) where primates are models to study human evolution. This special section thus proposes complementary perspectives on the study of temporality in primatology as well as works from historians rarely circulated towards primatologists.…”

The Carnivore Connection Hypothesis: Revisited by Jennie C. Brand-Miller, Hayley J. Griffin, Stephen Colagiuri

“…The “Carnivore Connection” hypothesizes that, during human evolution, a scarcity of dietary carbohydrate in diets with low plant : animal subsistence ratios led to insulin resistance providing a survival and reproductive advantage with selection of genes for insulin resistance. …”

ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF PREHISTORIC CAVES IN BA THUOC DISTRICT, THANH HOA PROVINCE: PRESERVATION AND PROMOTION by Khac Su Nguyen

“…The appearance of early modern human fossils in the Late Pleistocene proves that Vietnam was the site of the earliest modern human evolution in Southeast Asia. In Ba Thuoc district, human communities were in continuous residence from 30,000 to 7,000 years BP and developed the Dieu stone craft industry. …”

Variation morphologique et concept d’espèce en paléoanthropologie : l’exemple d’Australopithecus en Afrique australe by Amélie Beaudet

“…Historical debates around the fossil remains attributed to Australopithecus in southern Africa is an emblematic example of the influence of those questions on our understanding of human evolution. Since the earliest discoveries, scientific papers have been reporting a high degree of morphological variation within this assemblage. …”

THE MOST IMPORTANT HUMAN ORIGINS STUDIES OF VIETNAM (1906 - 2018) by Nguyễn Lân Cường

“…This article summarizes all important research achievements concerning ancient human remains in Vietnam for over 100 years.In the Early Palaeolithic, more than half a million years ago, Homo erectus existed - this is the beginning of Vietnamese prehistory. Human evolution in Vietnam has taken place continuously from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens to Homo sapiens sapiens. …”

Discussion on the Classification of Chinese Flour Products by WEI Yi-min

“…In a sense, the classification of flour products is a preliminary exploration or generalization of the relationships between foods, the evolution of diets, and the connections between food supply and human evolution. It can also provide a basis or reference for food industry and food market management.…”

The Relevance of HLA Sequencing in Population Genetics Studies by Alicia Sanchez-Mazas, Diogo Meyer

“…In this review, we first explain how HLA sequencing allows a better assessment of the HLA diversity in human populations, taking also into account the methodological difficulties it introduces at the statistical level; secondly, we show how analyzing HLA sequence variation may improve our comprehension of population genetic relationships by facilitating the identification of demographic events that marked human evolution; finally, we discuss the interest of both HLA and genome-wide sequencing and genotyping in detecting functionally significant SNPs in the MHC region, the latter having also contributed to the makeup of the HLA molecular diversity observed today.…”

1987-2017 : Regard sur l’évolution de l’histoire des origines by Brigitte Senut

“…The principle of uniformatarianism widely used in palaeontology is important in the study of human evolution: the development of fieldwork and laboratory research on modern non-human primates is essential for establishing comparative models which permit a better understanding of the cultural and locomotor behaviors of the past, the life characters, but also the living environments. …”

Capacités vocales des primates non humains, des Homo sapiens et des hominines fossiles : un état de la question by Marion Laporte, Amélie Vialet

“…This paradigm shift, liberating for studies on non-human primates whose anatomical and physiological peculiarities need better understanding, makes it even more challenging to appreciate the emergence of speech during human evolution based on fossil material, which retains little information about the involved articulators (mainly the mandible, tongue, and lips).…”

Understanding the maternal-infant nexus from dental histology and high-resolution compositional biogeochemistry: implications for bioarchaeological research by Alessia Nava

“…This contribution presents an overview of state-of-the-art high-resolution compositional biogeochemistry coupled with dental histomorphometry as a tool to deepen our knowledge of the mother-infant nexus in archaeological and palaeoanthropological contexts, and to investigate, at the highest possible temporal resolution, women’s and children’s survival and adaptation strategies over the course of human evolution.…”
