Gigantopithecus blacki was a giant hominid that inhabited Southeast Asia during the Pleistocene. Its evolutionary relationship to other great ape species, and their divergence during the Middle and Late Miocene (16-5.3 Mya), remains disputed. In part, this is due to the absence of cranial and postcr...

Impact of intermittent lead exposure on hominid brain evolution
Understanding intraspecific variation within the hominin fossil record is important and challenging. The limited number and condition of fossils we recover from the Pleistocene compounds this challenge. Unusually, the Rising Star Cave system excavations resulted in a high number of well-preserved sp...

The evolutionary relationships among extinct African hominin species are highly debated and largely unresolved, due in part to a lack of molecular data. Even within taxa, it is not always clear, based on morphology alone, whether ranges of variation are due to sexual dimorphism versus potentially un...
