This thesis presents morphological studies of spatial "enframing" of three African cities—Zanzibar, Tripoli and Cairo—by the French, British and Italian colonial rulers. For its propose, the thesis focuses on the relationship between spatial structures and the distribution of fu…
Homo erectus (senso lato ) was a remarkable hominin in that it was the first hominin to have a biogeographic distribution throughout the Old World. While there are many hypotheses regarding why Homo erectus dispersed into Eurasia when no other hominin before had, this dissertati…
The Middle Pleistocene sites of Trinil and Kedung Brubus, Java, Indonesia have provided extensive faunal remains that are classified as part of a larger biostratigraphic framework. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions, associated with early hominids on Java, have been constructed …
Mammals and their closest fossil relatives use their shoulders and forelimbs for many functions, which is reflected by the great range of mammalian forelimb shapes. Little work has been done to quantify this diversity as it relates to deep mammalian evolutionary history. Using g…
Morphology is one of the oldest branches of science, encompassing the form, structure, and transformation of natural materials, whether biotic or abiotic. In the context of contemporary Biology, morphology may be most broadly conceived as the qualitative and quantitative theory …
