Congruence of individual cranial bone morphology and neutral molecular affinity patterns in modern humans.

29 Sep 2009 Recent studies have demonstrated that the shape of the human temporal bone is particularly strongly correlated with neutral genetic expectation, when compared against other cranial regions, such as the vault, face, and basicranium. In turn, this has ... Read more...

Discrimination of extant Pan species and subspecies using the enamel-dentine junction morphology of lower molars.

29 Sep 2009 Previous research has demonstrated that species and subspecies of extant chimpanzees and bonobos can be distinguished on the basis of the shape of their molar crowns. Thus, there is potential for fossil taxa, particularly fossil hominins, to be ... Read more...

The conceptual centrality of causal cycles.

30 Aug 2009 How do causal cycles affect judgments of conceptual centrality? Generally, a feature is central to a concept to the extent that other features in the concept depend on it, thereby rendering it immutable from the concept (Sloman, Love, & Ahn, 1998). ... Read more...
