Genus Homo:
There seems to have been a dietary shift in the evolution of the genus Homo from Australopithecus.
A decorated Nautilus shell from 42,000 years ago from Indonesia has been found.
Modern Humans (Homo sapiens):
Tracking the stone tools across the Kalahari during the Mesolithic.
What does the 'Still Bay' Mesolithic stone tools imply for human demographics?
What does cut mark evidence mean for Late Pleistocene societies?
Where is the evidence of women and children in the Stone age?
The argument for coastal foraging being important for early modern humans gets revisited.
The 'Deep Skull' from Pleistocene South East Asia has revealed some surprises. For example, the person its from is not related to Australian Aborigines.
Sima de los Huesos hominin:
The Sima de los Huesos hominin probably died violently.

Hobbits (Homo floresiensis):
John Hawks talks about the recent discovery of ancestors of Hobbit ancestors.
Homo erectus:
Visiting the site of the oldest known hominins outside of Africa in Georgia.
Homo naledi:
The academic bun fight over whether or not the bodies of H naledi were placed deliberately continues.
John Hawks weighs in on the bun fight and defends the idea the bodies were placed intentionally. He also gives a recap of a seminar on the latest on H. naledi.
The phylogenetic position of H. naledi is explored.
Genus Australopithecus:
The implications of the paleoecology and their impacts on the evolution of australopithecines.
Australopithecus afarensis:
Lucy's feet are consistent with the Laetoli footprints.
