Modeling elastic properties in finite‐element analysis: How much precision is needed to produce an accurate model?
David S. Strait,Qian Wang,Paul C. Dechow,Callum F. Ross,Brian G. Richmond,Mark A. Spencer,Biren A. Patel +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that finite-element analyses can be adversely affected when elastic properties are modeled imprecisely, and that modelers should attempt to obtain elastic properties data about the species and skeletal elements that are the subjects of their analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The feeding biomechanics and dietary ecology of Australopithecus africanus
David S. Strait,Gerhard W. Weber,Simon Neubauer,Janine Chalk,Brian G. Richmond,Peter W. Lucas,Mark A. Spencer,Caitlin Schrein,Paul C. Dechow,Callum F. Ross,Ian R. Grosse,Barth W. Wright,Paul J. Constantino,Bernard Wood,Brian R. Lawn,William L. Hylander,Qian Wang,Craig D. Byron,Dennis E. Slice,Amanda L. Smith +19 more
TL;DR: The authors found that the facial skeleton of the Australopithecus type species, A. africanus, is well suited to withstand premolar loads and that the mastication of either small objects or large volumes of food is unlikely to fully explain the evolution of facial form in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
U-Series dating of Liujiang hominid site in Guangxi, Southern China.
Guanjun Shen,Wei Wang,Qian Wang,Jian-xin Zhao,Kenneth D. Collerson,Chunlin Zhou,Phillip V. Tobias +6 more
TL;DR: The results of stratigraphic studies and U-series dating of the Tongtianyan Cave, the discovery site of the Liujiang hominid, are presented, which represents one of the few well-preserved fossils of modern Homo sapiens in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viewpoints: Diet and Dietary Adaptations in Early Hominins: The Hard Food Perspective
David S. Strait,Paul J. Constantino,Peter W. Lucas,Brian G. Richmond,Mark A. Spencer,Paul C. Dechow,Callum F. Ross,Ian R. Grosse,Barth W. Wright,Bernard A. Wood,Gerhard W. Weber,Qian Wang,Craig D. Byron,Dennis E. Slice,Janine Chalk,Amanda L. Smith,Leslie C. Pryor Smith,Sarah A. Wood,Michael A. Berthaume,Stefano Benazzi,Christine Mary Dzialo,Kelli Tamvada,Justin A. Ledogar +22 more
TL;DR: Current evidence is suggested to be consistent with the hypothesis that certain derived Australopith traits are adaptations for consuming hard foods, but that australopiths had generalized diets that could include high proportions of foods that were both compliant and tough.
