About this document
Hominin Taxonomy via Humeral Shape Analysis by rageshravichandran3 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the taxonomic identification of Lower Pleistocene fossil hominins through the analysis of distal humeral diaphyseal cross-sectional shape. The research identifies three distinct morphotypes—Paranthropus, Homo erectus, and non-erectus early Homo—based on shape variation in fossil samples from eastern and southern Africa. The findings highlight the utility of humeral diaphysis for identifying isolated postcranial remains and document significant postcranial diversity in early Homo.
