University Museum, University of Tokyo, Hongo, Bunkyo ku, Tokyo, 113 0033 Japan
Science 326:94-9. 2009..The canine/lower third premolar complex indicates a reduction of canine size and honing capacity early in hominid evolution, possibly driven by selection targeted on the male upper canine...

University Museum, University of Tokyo, Hongo, Bunkyo ku, Tokyo, 113 0033, Japan
Science 326:68e1-7. 2009..This combination of features is apparently shared by Sahelanthropus, showing that the Mio-Pliocene hominid cranium differed substantially from those of both extant apes and Australopithecus...

The University Museum, The University of Tokyo, Hongo, Bunkyo ku, Tokyo 113 0033, Japan
Nature 448:921-4. 2007..The combined evidence suggests that Chororapithecus may be a basal member of the gorilla clade, and that the latter exhibited some amount of adaptive and phyletic diversity at around 10-11 Myr ago...

Nature 440:883-9. 2006..Temporal and anatomical intermediacy between Ar. ramidus and Au. afarensis suggest a relatively rapid shift from Ardipithecus to Australopithecus in this region of Africa, involving either replacement or accelerated phyletic evolution...

Department of Anthropology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 124:223-33. 2004..These results have implications for analyses of hominoid enamel thickness variation, and provide a foundation from which to explore the evolution of this phenotype in the papionin fossil record...

Department of Anthropology, The University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
Nature 423:747-52. 2003..Associated faunal remains indicate repeated, systematic butchery of hippopotamus carcasses. Contemporary adult and juvenile Homo sapiens fossil crania manifest bone modifications indicative of deliberate mortuary practices...

Nature 423:742-7. 2003..They therefore represent the probable immediate ancestors of anatomically modern humans. Their anatomy and antiquity constitute strong evidence of modern-human emergence in Africa...

Department of Anthropology, National Science Museum, Hyakunincho, Shinjuku ku, Tokyo 169 0073, Japan
Science 299:1384-8. 2003..This supports the hypothesis that later Pleistocene Javanese populations were substantially isolated and made minimal contributions to the ancestry of modern humans...

Arch Oral Biol 47:867-75. 2002..When viewed from a whole-crown, three-dimensional perspective, enamel thickness patterns are in part, but not entirely, explained as an adaptation to functional demand...
