The biggest jump in body size among our ancestors happened around 2–2.5 million years ago, with the appearance of Homo rudolfensis or Homo erectus/ergaster, rather than gradually across the whole huma...

Applications are invited for a 12-month Research Assistant position on the NG'IPALAJEM project, funded by the ERC. The project aims at collecting new palaeontological, archaeological and geological da...

Objectives Beyond non-biomechanical factors, the trabecular architecture of long bone epiphyses variably underlies functional adaptations to locomotor behavior. A recent study, characterizing tamari.....

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

About the education After the end of the last Ice Age, warmer, more stable Holocene climates led to the development of entirely new food systems, which in turn triggered population booms across mid-la

We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The...

New hominin fossils from the Grotte à Hominidés at Thomas Quarry I (ThI-GH) in Casablanca, Morocco, dated to around 773 thousand years ago are similar in age to Homo antecessor, yet are morphologically distinct.

The 11.6. Ma pliopithecoid Pliobates was initially misinterpreted as a stem hominoid owing to multiple apelike postcranial features. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we compare its radial shape with ...

Post-Palaeogene anguids from Europe have been referred to three extant genera: Anguis, Ophisaurus s.l. (including Dopasia and Hyalosaurus), and Pseudopus. In recent years, a higher generic diversity h...
