Earliest Evidence of Elephant Butchery at Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania) Reveals the Evolutionary Impact of Early Human Megafaunal Exploitation

Excavation of the 1.78 Ma Emiliano Aguirre Korongo site and landscape surveys across Olduvai Gorge Bed II reveal systematic early Pleistocene hominin butchery and percussive bone breakage of elephants.

Industrialization drives convergent microbial and physiological shifts in the human metaorganism

The paper investigates how industrialization affects microbial and physiological traits in the human gut across diverse populations, finding homogenized microbiomes, reduced diversity, and impaired disease prediction accuracy in less industrialized groups.

Reassessing Deep Learning (and Meta-Learning) Computer Vision as an efficient method to determine taphonomic agency in bone surface modifications

This study reassesses the efficiency of deep learning in taphonomic analysis by replicating and optimizing models to address dataset biases and improve reliability.
