Code and data for "Neanderthal-Denisovan ancestors interbred with a distantly-related hominin"
TL;DR: This paper showed that the ancestors of modern humans interbred with their own Eurasian predecessors about 2.5 million years ago and provided qualified support for the view that Neanderthals and Denisovans interbred.

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
TL;DR: Guns, Germs, and Steel as discussed by the authors argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world, and argues that societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion and nasty germs and potent weapons of war.

Neocortex size as a constraint on group size in primates
TL;DR: It appears that, among primates, large groups are created by welding together sets of smaller grooming cliques, and species will only be able to invade habitats that require larger groups than their current limit if they evolve larger neocortices.

Body mass and encephalization in Pleistocene Homo.
TL;DR: It is shown that two independent methods of body-mass estimation yield concordant results when applied to Pleistocene Homo specimens, and on the basis of an analysis of 163 individuals, body mass in Pleistsocene Homo averaged significantly (about 10%) larger than a representative sample of living humans.
