Prelinguistic evolution in early hominins: Whence motherese?
TL;DR: This hypothesis is based on the premises that hominin mothers that attended vigilantly to infants were strongly selected for, and that such mothers had genetically based potentials for consciously modifying vocalizations and gestures to control infants, both of which receive support from the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral cortices of East african early hominids.
TL;DR: New analysis of paleoanatomical evidence indicates that at least two taxa of early hominids coexisted in East Africa.

Brain evolution in Homo: The “radiator” theory
TL;DR: The radiator theory is in keeping with the belief that basal gracile and basal robust australopithecines occupied distinct niches, with the former living in savanna mosaic habitats that were subject to hot temperatures and intense solar radiation during the day.
