TLDR
The results show a clear distinction between the morphology seen in earlier hominin taxa such as Australopithecus and African early Homo, as well as Asian H. erectus, and more recent groups such as European H. heidelbergensis, neanderthalensis, and H. sapiens.About:

TL;DR: This study shows that fully modern morphologies were present in southern China 30,000–70,000 years earlier than in the Levant and Europe, and supports the hypothesis that during the same period, southern China was inhabited by more derived populations than central and northern China.

Hominin variability, climatic instability and population demography in Middle Pleistocene Europe
TL;DR: The authors proposed a population model for Middle Pleistocene Europe that is based on demographic sources and sinks, and suggested that this pattern of repeated colonisation and extinction may help explain the morphological variability of European Middle-Pleistocene hominins, particularly Homo heidelbergensis.

Morphological description and comparison of the dental remains from Atapuerca-Sima de los Huesos site (Spain)
María Martinón-Torres,José María Bermúdez de Castro,Aida Gómez-Robles,Leyre Prado-Simón,Juan Luis Arsuaga +4 more
TL;DR: This study ratifies the deep roots of the Neanderthal lineage in the Middle Pleistocene of Europe and proposes that more than one hominin lineage may have coexisted during the Middle pleistocene in Europe.

TL;DR: The balance of the evidence suggests a closer similarity with the Skhul/Qafzeh dental material, although many of these resemblances likely represent plesiomorphous features.

Who made the Aurignacian and other early Upper Paleolithic industries
TL;DR: Results provide some of the strongest evidence that anatomically modern humans made the Aurignacian and other (non-Châtelperronian) early Upper Paleolithic industries.

Principal warps: thin-plate splines and the decomposition of deformations
TL;DR: The decomposition of deformations by principal warps is demonstrated and the method is extended to deal with curving edges between landmarks to aid the extraction of features for analysis, comparison, and diagnosis of biological and medical images.

Extensions of the Procrustes Method for the Optimal Superimposition of Landmarks
F. James Rohlf,Dennis E. Slice +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method is presented that generalizes Siegel and Benson's (1982) resistant-fit theta-rho analysis so that more than two objects can be compared at the same time.

Statistical shape analysis: clustering, learning, and testing
TL;DR: This work presents tools for hierarchical clustering of imaged objects according to the shapes of their boundaries, learning of probability models for clusters of shapes, and testing of newly observed shapes under competing probability models.
Book
Geometric morphometrics for biologists: a primer
TL;DR: The second edition of "Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists" represents the current state of the art and adds new examples and summarizes recent literature, as well as provides an overview of new software and step-by-step guidance through details of carrying out the analyses.

Statistical Shape Analysis: With Applications in R
Ian L. Dryden,Kanti V. Mardia +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a planar procrustes analysis for two-dimensional data and showed that it is possible to estimate the size and shape of a shape in images.
