- Hominin biocultural evolution at Zarqa river valley, Jordan: a paleoanthropological approach, AP.R
Abstract
The hominin evolution was restricted to Africa from approximately 7 to 2 million years ago. Apparently, the first hominins that left the continent belonged to the genus Homo, as indicated by the findings in Dmanisi, Georgia, dated to 1.8 million years. The Levant must have played an important role in this expansion from Africa to the Caucasus. In the long term, the main goal of this pro...

- Origins and microevolution of man in the Americas: a paleoanthropological approach (III), AP.TEM
Abstract
Two great innovations regarding the origins of the American man were generated in the last five years, and will be of paramount importance for a radical change in the current ideas about the subject. First, biological anthropologists working in Brazil and USA were able to demonstrate that the cranial morphology of the first known americans, called Paleoindians, has no similarity with th...
