(1/6) Super excited to share that our paper on planum temporale (PT) asymmetries in apes and monkeys is now published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology (American Journal of Biological Anthropology)! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

New article alert published American Journal of Biological Anthropology ! Planum Temporale Asymmetries in Primates: A Comparative Study in Great Apes and Monkeys pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39815716/

Stress experiences in early life may have immediate/long-term effects on the developing skeletal system, including adipose tissue distribution & skeletal lesion development. Bioarchaeologists are generally restricted to the use of skeletal markers #ajba doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

I am thrilled to see that the Special Issue I have been coordinating with Mark Hubbe, 'Towards a Biocultural Synthesis of the Peopling of the Americas,' in American Journal of Biological Anthropology is nearly complete 🌎Take a look 🔎onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.100… 1/2

New paper! American Journal of Biological Anthropology We found the Kinda baboons have long-lasting female-male relationships that are largely male-driven and persist across female reproductive states. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

Anthropologists have used dental morphology to elucidate how people moved into and throughout the Americas. Analysis of tooth morphology by individual provides new insights on the migrations of the first Americans from East Asia to the Americas #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

‼️NEW PAPER ALERT in Open Access! Our research "Variation in Pubic Symphysis Fusion Across Primates: Implications for Obstetric Adaptation" is now published at American Journal of Biological Anthropology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Unfused human pubic symphyses have been interpreted as an obstetric adaptation for the passage of a large-brained baby through a small, bipedally adapted pelvis. However, data across primate species suggests unfused symphyses are not unique to humans #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

The American Journal of Biological Anthropology (American Journal of Biological Anthropology), the official Journal of the American Association of Biological Anthropologists, published by Wiley, seeks a new Editor-in-Chief. The submission deadline is March 31, 2025. bioanth.org/jobs/editor-in…

"In this synthesis, decolonization efforts within forensic anthropology are organized into five “C's” of appraisal: categories, casework, curricula, competence, and collections. From the undercurrents of these five, a sixth C, care, is unveiled." #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

The results of this study demonstrate a complicated relationship between developmental stress and physiological shifts. The results illustrate the adaptive significance of early-life programming, and supports the Thrifty Phenotype hypothesis #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

Humans display a right-hand preference during tasks, but this pattern has not been equally observed in nonhuman primates. The results of this study support the use of entheses as a tool to infer hand preference and activity patterns across species #ajba doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

This study focuses on the genomic variation and the major events that shaped the present-day Bulgarian genetic landscape. By providing new data from modern samples, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the genetic history of Bulgaria #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

I’m happy to share my latest article, just published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology 💀 "Understanding the Origin of Superficial Bone Changes in Qafzeh 9 Skull: Contribution of Three-Dimensional Imaging" 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Ethical concerns around the management, use, & display of digital human remains are a budding topic of discussion in biological anthropology research. This article proposes immediate action items to address the gaps in guidelines for digital ethics. #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

Play Face/ Full Play Face—homologous to human smile/laugh-face— may have functional and/or morphological differences in both human and non-human primates. This study opens the door to future studies on playful expressions in humans and other primates #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

Using nuclear & mitochondrial DNA data, this study sheds light on the origins of the Yolngu people and their language. Results imply their language did not spread with the movement of people; the languages diffused among the different populations #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

Disparities in higher education are connected to legacies of structural harm and stratification. Understanding how these legacies impact forensic practice matters for the creation of inclusive spaces and the reduction of barriers within the field #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

This study investigates enamel thickness among Atapuerca hominins. The results caution against using enamel thickness alone for taxonomic classification and emphasize the importance of analyzing both upper and lower dentitions across dental classes #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…

As ethics evolve globally, there is growing pressure on paleoanthropology to revisit its ethical practices, help create globally informed standards, and better align fossil handling with practices in related fields, such as human tissue research #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.7…
