The Effect of Varying Jaw-elevator Muscle Forces on a Finite Element Model of a Human Cranium
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
Finite element analyses simulating masticatory system loading are increasingly undertaken in primates, hominin fossils and modern humans. Simplifications of models and loadcases are often required given the limits of data ...
Stone tool use by adult wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Cebus libidinosus). Frequency, efficiency and tool selectivity
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
Chimpanzees have been the traditional referential models for investigating human evolution and stone tool use by hominins. We enlarge this comparative scenario by describing normative use of hammer stones and anvils in two ...
Reply to Evteev and Heuzé: How to overcome the problem of modeling respiration departing from bony structures
(National Academy of Sciences, 2018-05)
"Reply to Evteev and Heuzé: How to overcome the problem of modeling respiration departing from bony structures" is a reply to a letter from Andrej A. Evteev and Yann Heuzé: "Impact of sampling strategies and reconstruction ...
Examining Neanderthal and carnivore occupations of Teixoneres Cave (Moià, Barcelona, Spain) using archaeostratigraphic and intra-site spatial analysis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-02)
Teixoneres Cave (Moià, Barcelona, Spain) is a reference site for Middle Palaeolithic studies of the Iberian Peninsula. The cave preserves an extensive stratigraphic sequence made up of eight units, which is presented in ...
First continuous pre-Jaramillo to Jaramillo terrestrial vertebrate succession from Europe
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-12)
In this paper, the early Pleistocene small vertebrate sequence of Quibas-Sima (Quibas karstic complex, Murcia, SE Spain) is presented. The available magnetostratigraphic information together with the small vertebrate ...
Expanding the scope of Actualistic Taphonomy in Archaeological Research
(Springer, 2019)
This chapter presents the application of actualistic taphonomy to the study of one of the inorganic remains produced by hominins since 3 million year BP up to historical times: lithic artifacts. As rocks are among the most ...
The relationship between skull morphology, masticatory muscle force and cranial skeletal deformation during biting
(Elsevier, 2016)
The human skull is gracile when compared to many Middle Pleistocene hominins. It has been argued that it is less able to generate and withstand high masticatory forces, and that the morphology of the lower portion of the ...
The biting performance of Homo sapiens and Homo heidelbergensis
(Elsevier, 2018)
Modern humans have smaller faces relative to Middle and Late Pleistocene members of the genus Homo. While facial reduction and differences in shape have been shown to increase biting efficiency in Homo sapiens relative to ...
A moral trade-off system produces intuitive judgments that are rational and coherent and strike a balance between conflicting moral values
(2022)
How does the mind make moral judgments when the only way to satisfy one moral value is to neglect another? Moral dilemmas posed a recurrent adaptive problem for ancestral hominins, whose cooperative social life created ...
A time- and cost-effective strategy to sequence mammalian Y Chromosomes: an application to the de novo assembly of gorilla Y
(2016-02)
The mammalian Y Chromosome sequence, critical for studying male fertility and dispersal, is enriched in repeats and palindromes, and thus, is the most difficult component of the genome to assemble. Previously, expensive ...
