Am J Phys Anthropol 135:311-28. 2008..afarensis. However, the results of this and past studies strongly suggest behavioral and mating strategies differed between A. afarensis and modern humans...

Long-distance carcass transport at Olduvai Gorge? A quantitative examination of Bed I skeletal element abundancesJ Tyler Faith
Hominid Paleobiology Doctoral Program, CASHP, Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
J Hum Evol 56:247-56. 2009..The patterning at Bed I contrasts strongly with Middle Stone Age and Middle Paleolithic assemblages, which provide clear evidence for selective transport, suggesting higher transport costs and longer transport distances...

Department of Anthropology, Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology, The George Washington University, 2110 G Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:4650-5. 2008..Our results are consistent with hypotheses that suggest the Liang Bua specimens represent a diminutive population closely related to either early H. erectus s. l. from East Africa and/or Dmanisi or to H. habilis...

Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology, Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA

Causes and significance of variation in mammalian basal metabolismDavid A Raichlen
Department of Anthropology, University of Arizona, 1009 E South Campus Drive, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
J Comp Physiol B 180:301-11. 2010..These results suggest that selection alters BMR in response to thermoregulatory pressures, and that selection uses muscle mass as a means to generate this variation...
Aging of the cerebral cortex differs between humans and chimpanzeesChet C Sherwood
Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:13029-34. 2011..Thus, we conclude that the increased magnitude of brain structure shrinkage in human aging is evolutionarily novel and the result of an extended lifespan...
