TL;DR: The discovery of Lomekwi 3 is reported, a 3.3-million-year-old archaeological site where in situ stone artefacts occur in spatiotemporal association with Pliocene hominin fossils in a wooded palaeoenvironment and the name ‘Lomekwian’ is proposed, which predates the Oldowan by 700,000 years and marks a new beginning to the known archaeological record.

TL;DR: Homo luzonensis is a new species of Homo from the Callao Cave in the Philippines from the Late Pleistocene epoch that displays a combination of primitive and derived morphological features that is different from the combination of features found in other species in the genus Homo.

TL;DR: The integrated setup built at the Primatology Station of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) is introduced, which allows analysis of both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion in a population of 55–60 captive olive baboons.

TL;DR: This book discusses field and experimental approaches to the study of locomotor ontogeny in Propithecus verreauxi, and links field and laboratory approaches for studying primate locomotor responses to support orientation.

TL;DR: A musculoskeletal simulation based on the A. afarensis hand morphology that includes an original 5th carpometacarpal joint suggests a limited influence of muscle parameters (e.g., PCSA) and support the value of simulations for studying extinct taxa even in absence of soft-tissue data.
