Unique Dental Morphology of Homo floresiensis and Its Evolutionary Implications

TL;DR: It is reported here that the dental remains from multiple individuals indicate that H. floresiensis had primitive canine-premolar and advanced molar morphologies, a combination of dental traits unknown in any other hominin species.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spatio-temporal distribution of archaeological and faunal finds at Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) in light of the revised chronology for Homo floresiensis

TL;DR: The results suggest that H. floresiensis and Stegodon florensis insularis, along with giant marabou stork and vulture, were likely extinct by ∼50 ka ago, and an abrupt and statistically significant shift in raw material preference occurs ∼46 thousand calibrated radiocarbon years before present (ka cal. BP), which would be the earliest cultural evidence of modern humans in Indonesia.
Journal ArticleDOI

New wrist bones of Homo floresiensis from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia)

TL;DR: The carpal anatomy of H. floresiensis supports the hypothesis that the lineage leading to the evolution of this species originated prior to the cladogenetic event that gave rise to modern humans and Neandertals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Descriptions of the dental remains of Homo floresiensis

TL;DR: The Liang Bua H. floresiensis assemblage as mentioned in this paper consists of one partial maxillary dentition, two nearly complete mandibular dentitions, and four isolated teeth.
