Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573 (2024)
Journal Article
Crompton, R., Elton, S., Heaton, J., Pickering, T., Carlson, K., Jashashvili, T., Beaudet, A., Bruxelles, L., Kuman, K., Thorpe, S. K., Hirasaki, E., Scott, C., Sellers, W., Pataky, T., Clarke, R., & McClymont, J. (online). Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573. Journal of Anatomy, https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.14106

There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported... Read More about Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573.

Biomechanics in anthropology (2024)
Journal Article
Berthaume, M., & Elton, S. (2024). Biomechanics in anthropology. Evolutionary Anthropology, 33(2), Article e22019. https://doi.org/10.1002/evan.22019

Biomechanics is the set of tools that explain organismal movement and mechanical behavior and links the organism to the physicality of the world. As such, biomechanics can relate behaviors and culture to the physicality of the organism. Scale is crit... Read More about Biomechanics in anthropology.

Climate, not Quaternary biogeography, explains skull morphology of the long-tailed macaque on the Sunda Shelf (2023)
Journal Article
Grunstra, N. D., Louys, J., & Elton, S. (2023). Climate, not Quaternary biogeography, explains skull morphology of the long-tailed macaque on the Sunda Shelf. Quaternary Science Reviews, 310, Article 108121. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2023.108121

Sundaland, comprising the low-lying Sunda Shelf, the major islands of Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, as well as many smaller surrounding islands, formed a contiguous landmass through much of the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Subsequent late-Pleistocene risin... Read More about Climate, not Quaternary biogeography, explains skull morphology of the long-tailed macaque on the Sunda Shelf.

Skull variation in Afro-Eurasian monkeys results from both adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary processes (2022)
Journal Article
Schroeder, L., Elton, S., & Ackermann, R. R. (2022). Skull variation in Afro-Eurasian monkeys results from both adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary processes. Scientific Reports, 12(1), Article 12516. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-16734-x

Afro-Eurasian monkeys originated in the Miocene and are the most species-rich modern primate family. Molecular and fossil data have provided considerable insight into their evolutionary divergence, but we know considerably less about the evolutionary...

Oxford University Press. https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198849711.003.0007

Humans evolved in diverse and variable environments, so understanding health and disease from evolutionary perspectives must include this consideration. In our contribution, we present an overview of early Holocene human health in changing environmen...
