Not wasted on the young: Childhood, trait complexes & human behavioral ecology Open
Hypotheses about the evolution of multi-trait organismal features often encounter trade-offs between the precision and historical relevance of tests performed in actualistic contexts. That is, highly precise tests aimed at discriminating b…

Beyond reasonable doubt: reconsidering Neanderthal aesthetic capacity Open
An aesthetic sense—a taste for the creation and/or appreciation of that which strikes one as, e.g., attractive or awesome—is often assumed to be a distinctively H. sapiens phenomenon. However, recent paleoanthropological research is reveal…

Past materials, past minds: The philosophy of cognitive paleoanthropology Open
The philosophy of cognitive paleoanthropology involves three related tasks: (1) asking what inferences might be drawn from the paleontological and archaeological records to past cognition, behavior and culture; (2) constructing synthetic a…
What is a trait? Lessons from the human chin Open
The chin, a distinguishing feature of Homo sapiens , has sparked ongoing debates regarding its evolutionary origins and adaptive significance. We contend that these controversies stem from a fundamental disagreement about what constitutes …
<i>Homo sapiens</i>, Neanderthals and speciation complexity in palaeoanthropology Open
Tracking the origins of new species and delimiting taxa across space and time present well-trodden sources of controversy for palaeoanthropology. Although biological diversity comes with frustratingly elusive boundaries, the task of descri…
Not by demography alone: Neanderthal extinction and null hypotheses in paleoanthropological explanation Open
Neanderthal extinction is a matter of intense debate. It has been suggested that demography (as opposed to environment or competition) could alone provide a sufficient explanation for the phenomenon. We argue that demography cannot be a ‘s…
Pan‐Africanism vs. single‐origin of <i>Homo sapiens</i>: Putting the debate in the light of evolutionary biology Open
The scenario of Homo sapiens origin/s within Africa has become increasingly complex, with a pan‐African perspective currently challenging the long‐established single‐origin hypothesis. In this paper, we review the lines of evidence employe…
Behavioural modernity, investigative disintegration & Rubicon expectation Open
‘Behavioural modernity’ isn’t what it used to be. Once conceived as an integrated package of traits demarcated by a clear archaeological signal in a specific time and place, it is now disparate, archaeologically equivocal, and temporally a…

European first-year university students accept evolution but lack substantial knowledge about it: a standardized European cross-country assessment Open
Background Investigations of evolution knowledge and acceptance and their relation are central to evolution education research. Ambiguous results in this field of study demonstrate a variety of measuring issues, for instance differently th…
