Encephalization and allometric trajectories in the genus Homo: Evidence from the Neandertal and modern lineages
TLDR
The origin of the authors' species may have represented the opportunity to surpass the constraints imposed on encephalization by the ontogenetic pattern shared by nonmodern Homo representatives, and two different evolutionary trajectories are identified.

A cranium for the earliest Europeans: Phylogenetic position of the hominid from Ceprano, Italy
TLDR
According to the results, cranial features indicate that Ceprano represents a unique morphological bridge between the clade Homo ergaster/erectus and later Middle Pleistocene specimens commonly referred to Homo heidelbergensis (and/or to Homo rhodesiensis), particularly those belonging to the African fossil record that ultimately relates to the origin of modern humans.

Dental evidence on the hominin dispersals during the Pleistocene
TLDR
The results show important morphological differences between the hominins found in both continents during the Pleistocene, suggesting that their evolutionary courses were relatively independent.

Evolution of the base of the brain in highly encephalized human species.
TLDR
Three-dimensional geometric morphometric analyses of endobasicranial shape reveal previously undocumented details of evolutionary changes in Homo sapiens, including larger olfactory bulbs, relatively wider orbitofrontal cortex, relatively increased and forward projecting temporal lobe poles appear unique to modern humans.

New footprints from Laetoli (Tanzania) provide evidence for marked body size variation in early hominins
TLDR
Hinin tracks unearthed in the new Site S at Laetoli are reported and referred to two bipedal individuals (S1 and S2) moving on the same palaeosurface and in the same direction as the three hominins documented at Site G, consistent with considerable body size variation and, probably, degree of sexual dimorphism within a single species of bipedals as early as 3.66 million years ago.

Discontinuity of life conditions at the transition from the Roman imperial age to the early middle ages: Example from central Italy evaluated by pathological dento‐alveolar lesions
TLDR
The Roman samples show afffinites between each other, whereas the Medieval sample appears associated with the incidence of caries and the pathological conditions related to them, thus indicating increase of these lesions and deterioration of the quality of life in the transition to the early Middle Ages.
