Postcranial evidence from early Homo from Dmanisi, Georgia
David Lordkipanidze,Tea Jashashvili,Tea Jashashvili,Abesalom Vekua,Marcia S. Ponce de León,Christoph P. E. Zollikofer,G. Philip Rightmire,Herman Pontzer,Reid Ferring,Oriol Oms,Martha Tappen,Maia Bukhsianidze,Jordi Agustí,Ralf Dietrich Kahlke,Gocha Kiladze,Bienvenido Martínez-Navarro,Alexander Mouskhelishvili,Medea Nioradze,Lorenzo Rook +18 more
TL;DR: Newly excavated postcranial material from Dmanisi comprising a partial skeleton of an adolescent individual, associated with skull D2700/D2735, and the remains from three adult individuals shows that the postc Cranial anatomy of the D manisi hominins has a surprising mosaic of primitive and derived features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropology: the earliest toothless hominin skull.
David Lordkipanidze,Abesalom Vekua,Reid Ferring,G. Philip Rightmire,Jordi Agustí,Gocha Kiladze,Alexander Mouskhelishvili,Medea Nioradze,Marcia S. Ponce de León,Martha Tappen,Christoph P. E. Zollikofer +10 more
TL;DR: This specimen not only represents the earliest case of severe masticatory impairment in the hominin fossil record to be discovered so far, but also raises questions about alternative subsistence strategies in early Homo.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fourth hominin skull from Dmanisi, Georgia.
David Lordkipanidze,Abesalom Vekua,Reid Ferring,G. Philip Rightmire,G. Philip Rightmire,Christoph P. E. Zollikofer,Marcia S. Ponce de León,Jordi Agustí,Gocha Kiladze,Alexander Mouskhelishvili,Medea Nioradze,Martha Tappen +11 more
TL;DR: A fourth skull that is nearly complete, lacking all but one of its teeth at the time of death is described, arguing that the relatively small-brained and lightly built Dmanisi hominins may be ancestral to African and Far Eastern branches of H. erectus.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sequencing the proteome of Early Pleistocene dental enamel overcomes the limitations of phylogenetic inference based on ancient collagen or DNA, and resolves the phylogeny of Eurasian Rhinocerotidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pliocene-Pleistocene succession of Kvabebi (Georgia) and the background to the early human occupation of Southern Caucasus
J. Agustí,Abesalom Vekua,Oriol Oms,David Lordkipanidze,Maia Bukhsianidze,Gocha Kiladze,Lorenzo Rook +6 more
TL;DR: The authors analyzed and discussed the chronological and zoogeographic context of the Kvabebi site in order to shed light into the background of the early human occupation of Eurasia, as evidenced by the early Pleistocene site of Dmanisi.
