Taxonomic assignments for the 3.4 Ma to 1.1 Ma hominin postcanine teeth from the Usno Formation and the Shungura Formation, Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia Open
Sediments of the Usno Formation and the Shungura Formation date from ca. 3.75 Ma to 1.09 Ma, during which time the genus Homo appeared, Australopithecus disappeared, and the eastern African robust hominins did both. We performed an in-dept…

A new fossil buffalo from the Shungura Formation (Ethiopia) reveals the role of heterochrony in the evolution of Syncerus Open
Variation in the timing and rate of development (heterochrony) is a key driver of morphologicaldiversification. The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is the sole surviving species of a oncediverse Pleistocene lineage and shows striking eco…

A new fossil buffalo from the Shungura Formation (Ethiopia), and the role of size- shape allometry in the diversification of Syncerus Open
Allometry, the relationship between shape and size, plays a pivotal role in the diversification of phenotypes. The African buffalo, Syncerus caffer, the only surviving member of an extensive Pliocene-Pleistocene African bovin diversity, ex…

Impact of Life History on Hippopotamus Skull Ontogeny Open
The biological processes underlying the wide phenotypic mammal diversity are still not thoroughly understood. In this study, we examined how major stages in the life history of the common hippopotamus ( Hippopotamus Amphibius ) influence i…

How depositional environments impact the microwear preservation of quartz artifacts: insights from the Oldowan of the Shungura Formation (Ethiopia) Open
The function of Oldowan tools is a key aspect of early hominin subsistence in eastern Africa. The rarity of the sites, the preservation of the assemblages and raw materials are limiting factors in the functional study of Early Pleistocene …

New insights into the ontogeny of Paranthropus boisei offered by a juvenile upper masticatory apparatus from the Shungura formation (Ethiopia). Open
Early hominin juvenile fossils are key for elucidating the developmental basis of adult phenotypic variation and enhancing our understanding of phylogenetic relationships. Since the discovery of the Taung child a century ago, numerous find…

Uniform, circular, and shallow enamel pitting in hominins: Prevalence, morphological associations, and potential taxonomic significance Open
This study explores a particular form of enamel pitting originally identified in Paranthropus robustus. We call this uniform, circular, and shallow (UCS) pitting to distinguish it from more irregular and nonuniform defects often associated…
