What if modern language is also a sort of decanalised condition? Seen from this perspec- tive, language is easy to disturb because it is an evolutionary novelty, but is equally resistant to certain kind of damage because it also relies on robust cognitive mechanisms with a long evolu- ...
open habitats that favoured the settlement and expansion of archaic hominins30, whereas the Late Pleistocene is marked by the expansion of rainforests at the time ofH. sapiens’dispersal events, thus revealing potentially two different adaptive strategies. But one may question what environment prevailed...
This information can then be used to hypothesise what early hominins may have eaten if indeed they were able to survive in the types of open and arid savannas being modeled, and how similar or different potential hominin diets may have been from that of modern savanna chimpanzees. The goal ...
sapiens' dispersal events, thus revealing potentially two different adaptive strategies. But one may question what envi- ronment prevailed in northern Indochina's latitudes. Given this background, the present study aims to describe the environmental contexts into which Denisovans and H. sapiens ...
What, then, is the nature of variation in earlyHomo? A number of comparisons to modern apes and humans have found that the sample traditionally grouped inH. habilisexceeded the variation expected within a single modern species (e.g., Stringer 1986; Bilsborough and Wood 1988; Liebermanet al....
