Genus Homo:
During the Middle Pleistocene, the Luonan Basin in central China appears to be a refugium for hominids.
How the human pelvis evolved.
Humanity originated in the grasslands.
Mathematical models are attempting to explain the evolutionary growth of the human brain.
Was the reason human remained platigrade when their ancestors came out of the trees was to due to a better fighting stance?
Modern Humans (H. sapiens):
It appears modern humans may have arrived in North America far, far earlier than previously thought, back 130,000 years ago. This is an extraordinary claim, so approach with caution. Also, there is no evidence whether this is really modern humans or some other member of the genus Homo. The reason I list it here is because there is no credible evidence of any other hominin ever in North America.
Australian Aboriginals have been genetically isolated for 50,000 years according to a study of their mitochondrial DNA.
Native American of the northwest have been genetically continuous for at least 10,000 years.
The symbols of Wallacea in Indonesia from the Late Pleistocene.
Life sucked for a teen mom found from Late Pleistocene North America.
Were there multiple waves of migration into the Americas?
Hobbits (H. floresiensis):
Hobbits are more closely related to Homo habilis than Homo erectus.

Neandertals (H. neanderthalensis):
How Neandertal vertebrae were different from modern humans.
Trying to figure out the functional use of the Neandertal arm.
Neandertal diet and subsistence strategies studies have been very, very biased.
How Neandertals gathered wood for their fires.
John Hawks reviews and then calls for caution over the evidence Neandertals might have used 'aspirin' and had a form of penicillin.
A decorated raven bone from Crimea may be a Neandertal artifact.
Could Neandertals have been wiped out by diseases carried by modern humans?
Neandertal trade is documented in a Pleistocene Czech cave.
Has Neandertal cave art been found?
Xuchang Hominins:

Xuchang Hominins:
Were the Xuchang hominins Neandertals or something else?
Denisovans:
There is a claim of the discovery of a very impressive piece of jewelry associated with the Denisovans during the Pleistocene 40,000 years ago. I have not seen a peer reviewed journal article.
Denisovan (and Neandertal) DNA has been recovered from cave sediments. We can now know whether or not a caveman excretes in a cave (cue bear in woods ref).
The Xujiayao hominid from the middle Pleistocene may be a Denisovan.
H. naledi:
New remains of H. naledi appear to date the age of the hominin cousin to between 250 to 335 thousand years ago, making the human family tree look even MORE bushy.
H. heidelbergensis:
Remains from Portugal appear to be ancestral to Neandertals.
H. erectus:
The pelvis shape of H. erectus is described.
Members of the genus Homo have been hunting as groups prior to the rise of Neandertals.

Genus Australopithecus:
Analysis of the Laetoli footprints strongly suggests a human-like gait.
Using children to try to figure out the body sizes of small hominids.
The environment of Turkana, east Africa is described from 2 million years ago to 1.4 million years ago.
A. afarensis:
How A. afarensis gave birth.
The human-like spine existed in A. afarensis.

A. sebida:
Was A. seiba actually very closely related to A. africanus?
Genus Sahelanthropus:
The environment for Sahelanthropus appears to have been a largely forested. Australopithecus bahrelghazali as well.
Genus Graecopithecus:
Was Graecopithecus the oldest known post LCA hominin? If so some of the earliest hominins lived outside of Africa proper.
Last Common Ancestor:
bonobos are a better analog for the last common ancestor of apes than chimpanzees.
