2019, Journal of Human EvolutionThe biomechanical significance of the frontal sinus in Kabwe 1 (Homo heidelbergensis)
2018, Journal of Human EvolutionCitation Excerpt :In Neanderthals, the presence of large sinuses has been related to particular anatomical features, such as the lack of the canine fossa and the presence of large supraorbital tori (Coon, 1962; Wolpoff, 1999), but more recent research shows that Neanderthals do not have large sinuses relative to modern humans when cranial size differences are taken into account (Rae et al., 2011). Despite multiple studies, sinus function(s) are still poorly understood (Seidler et al., 1997; Laitman, 2008; Márquez, 2008). Some researchers consider that they are biological spandrels arising as a structural consequence of changes in other bones and/or structures, rather than because of a specific mechanism acting to create them or to serve any particular function (Enlow, 1968; O'Higgins et al., 2006; Zollikofer et al., 2008; Zollikofer and Weissmann, 2008).
The Pre-Mousterian industrial complex in Europe between 400 and 300 ka: Interpreting its origin and spatiotemporal variability
2016, Quaternary InternationalCitation Excerpt :The continuity of the main stone-working traditions, including small dimensions of stone artefacts, from the West Asian core–flake-tool assemblages dated to the late Early Pleistocene (and probably derived from the earlier and more simple core–flake assemblages), and the temporal precedence to the first appearance of Acheulean in particular regions suggest that the makers of Pre-Mousterian complex may represent descendant populations from the earliest hominins to enter Western Eurasia. Consequently, one can assume that the Pre-Mousterian hominins, apparently best represented now by the Petralona skull (Seidler et al., 1997; Rightmire, 2011; Balzeau, 2013), may be assigned to the later (and probably the last) representatives of the European “aboriginal” Homo, whose earlier representatives many authors define now as H. antecessor. This population of the earliest Europeans, which ancestral group is apparently related to the Dmanisi hominins, was likely separated in Europe for many hundred thousand years from the African branch of H. erectus, which likely descendants (Acheulean-making H. heidelbergensis) first penetrated into Europe at about 800–700 ka.
