Genus Homo:
Scientists are still stumped by the evolution of human breasts.
Hominins in Levant hunted different prey than did the resident hyenas.
H. sapiens:
East African hunter gatherers appear to have had a common ancestry.
There are more missing ancestors in our genome other than Neandertals and Denisovans.
Did modern humans self domesticate?

H. neanderthalensis:
Neandertals primary food source was, in fact, meat, at least, at Les Cottés and Grotte du Renne, in France.
What was the impact of the interglacial climate changes on Neandertal diets at Baume Moula-Guercy, Ardèche, France?
The replacement of Neandertals by modern humans was a little more complicated than what used to be thought: there was some, erm, intermingling.
Footprints of Neandertals from Gibraltar have been found.
Some are going hmmm over the stone artifacts at Châtelperronian.
Did inbreeding help do in the Neandertals?
Neandertals walked just like modern people did.
Sima de los Huesos Hominins:
The Middle Pleistocene hominins from Sima de los Huesos had very Neandertal-ish brains.
Denisovans:
Who were they? John Hawks comments.

H. erectus:
Britain may return the iconic Kabwe skull to Zambia.
Genus Paranthropus:
P. robustus:

Genus Aridopithecus:
A. ramidus postcranial remains from Ethiopia get a description.
A. ramidus had adaptations for waling bipedal.

META:
Is the African Eve hypothesis wrong?
Why did menopause evolve?
One paleoanthropologist's hopes for a human evolution museum in Israel.
Human and nonhuman primate brains are compared for clues to human brain evolution.
What were the origins of human language?
The tale of the multiregional hypothesis and the out of africa hypothesis are told.
Can we determine which hominin teeth came from when found?
The current 'gap' in the middle Pleistocene is very important to human evolution.
Root growth for teeth is compared between humans and apes.
