A review of Multibody Dynamic versus Finite Element Analyses applied in palaeoanthropology: what can we expect for the study of hominin postcranial remains? by Alicia Blasi-Toccacceli, Guillaume Daver, Mathieu Domalain

“…These approaches have been also used in palaeontology to bring extinct animals, such as hominins, "back to life". The purpose of this study is to report on the available literature on the use of MDA and FEA in postcranial palaeoanthropology. …”

Capacités vocales des primates non humains, des Homo sapiens et des hominines fossiles : un état de la question by Marion Laporte, Amélie Vialet

“…This proposition dominated for half a century, hindering research on the vocal production of non-human primates used as a model to address the capacities of fossil hominins. The recent demonstration of vocal tract dynamics in mammals, including primates, and a shared maximal acoustic space for all now allows us to consider that it is not the size of the pharynx that is crucial but rather the control of speech articulators. …”

Looking for the origins of the human brain: The role of South Africa in the history of palaeoneurology by Amélie Beaudet, Edwin de Jager, Mirriam Tawane, Brendon Billings

“…Details preserved in the endocast of the Taung Child have opened critical questions and debates about how the human brain evolved, and how to identify and study evidence of brain changes from fossil hominin crania. In this paper, we review and synthesise methodological innovations (how do we study fossil hominin brains?) …”

Perikymata number and spacing on early modern human teeth: evidence from Qafzeh cave, Israel by Janet M. Monge, Anne-Marie Tillier, Alan Mann

“…The microscopic anatomy of dental enamel has been employed in numerous studies of fossil hominin teeth. This research has focused on the use of microstructure, primarily perikymata and, when available, their internal manifestations, in the construction of phylogenetic relationships as well as in the reconstruction of hominin patterns of growth and development. …”

Why heads matter in palaeoanthropology: The impacts and consequences of collecting skulls by Lauren Schroeder, Paige Madison, Rebecca R. Ackermann

“…We consider how the announcement and overall discovery story of the Taung Child revolutionised our understanding of hominin cranial evolution, but also fit within these skull-collecting objectives and contributed to the palaeoanthropological fixation on the skull. …”
