TL;DR: The varied use of plants that are identified suggests that the Neanderthal occupants of El Sidrón had a sophisticated knowledge of their natural surroundings which included the ability to select and use certain plants.

TL;DR: The long-term results in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis who were followed for a median of four years after the original one-year crossover study are reported.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated the ingestion in both pre-agricultural and agricultural periods of Cyperus rotundus tubers and its ability to inhibit Streptococcus mutans may have contributed to the unexpectedly low level of caries found in the agricultural population.

TL;DR: The human behaviors and activities besides eating that can generate a flux of particles into the human mouth, the broad range of additional cultural and environmental information that can be obtained through the analysis and contextualisation of this material, and the implications of the additional pathways by which material can become embedded in dental calculus are explored.

TL;DR: The presence of a range of potentially inhaled, and ingested, materials extracted from samples of dental calculus from the Qesem Cave hominins are described, which extends the evidence for consumption of plant foods containing essential nutrients including polyunsaturated fatty acids and carbohydrates, into the Lower Palaeolithic.
