Reconstructing hominin paleoecology is critical for understanding our ancestors’ diets, social organizations and interactions with other animals. Most paleoecological models lack fine-scale resolution due to fossil hominin scarcity and the…

Reply to Almécija: A new direction for reconstructing our last common ancestor with chimpanzees Open
We welcome Almecija’s critique (1), but his claims of “bias” in our conclusions are unfounded. All available evidence continues to support an African ape-like shoulder and pattern of forelimb use in our last common ancestor (LCA) with chim…

The evolutionary origin and population history of the grauer gorilla Open
Gorillas living in western central Africa ( Gorilla gorilla ) are morphologically and genetically distinguishable from those living in eastern central Africa ( Gorilla beringei ). Genomic analyses show eastern gorillas experienced a signif…

Fossil hominin shoulders support an African ape-like last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees Open
Significance Knowing the direction and pace of evolutionary change is critical to understanding what selective forces shaped our ancestors. Unfortunately, the human fossil record is sparse, and little is known about the earliest members of…
