Osteogenic tumour in Australopithecus sediba: Earliest hominin evidence for neoplastic disease

Randolph-Quinney, P.S.; Williams, S.A.; Steyn, M.; Meyer, M.R.; Smilg, J.S.; Churchill, S.E.; Odes, E.J.; Augustine, T.; Tafforeau, P.; Berger, L.R. (Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf)., 2016-07)

We describe the earliest evidence for neoplastic disease in the hominin lineage. This is reported from the type specimen of the extinct hominin Australopithecus sediba from Malapa, South Africa, dated to 1.98 million ...
Palaeontology and geological context of a Middle Pleistocene faunal assemblage from the Gladysvale Cave, South Africa

Lacruz, R S; Brink, James S; Hancox, P J; Skinner, A R; Herries, A; Schmid, Peter; Berger, Lee R (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2002)

Palaeontological and geological research at the Gladysvale Cave during the last decade has concentrated on de-roofed deposits located outside the Main Chamber. This area has been termed the Gladysvale External Deposit ...
Papio cranium from the hominin-bearing site of Malapa: Implications for the evolution of modern baboon cranial morphology and South African Plio-Pleistocene biochronology.

Gilbert, C.C.; Steininger, C.M.; Kibii, J.M.; Berger, L.R. (Public Library of Science, 2015-08-19)

A new partial cranium (UW 88-886) of the Plio-Pleistocene baboon Papio angusticeps from Malapa is identified, described and discussed. UW 88-886 represents the only non-hominin primate yet recovered from Malapa and is ...
Partial hominin tibia (StW 396) from Sterkfontein, South Africa

Zipfel, Bernhard; Berger, Lee R. (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, University of the Witwatersrand, 2009-12)

Comparison of a proximal hominin tibial fragment, StW 396 from Sterkfontein Member 4, South Africa, with the StW 514a tibia, also from Member 4 and attributed to Australopithecus africanus, indicates a degree of morphological ...
A partial skull of Paranthropus robustus from Cooper's Cave, South Africa.

Berger, L.R.; Kuhn, B.F.; Steininger, C. (Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2008-03)

A partial hominin skull (COB 101) was identified in the fossil collections of the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, attributed to the Cooper's Cave site in South Africa. The find represents the most complete hominin specimen ...
A preliminary assessment of the micromammalian remains from Gladysvale Cave, South Africa

Avery, D. M. (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1995)

New micromammalian material from Gladysvale Cave has recently been collected by L.R. Berger and A.W. Keyser. The sample contains representatives of 29 species, of which five are insectivores, seven are bats and the ...
A preliminary estimate of the age of the Gladysvale australopithecine site

Berger, Lee R (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Excavations conducted at the Gladysvale site in the Transvaal, South Africa during 1991 -1992 have revealed an abundant Plio-Pleistocene fossil fauna from the limeworks breccia dumps and in situ decalcified deposits. To ...
Response to Thackeray (2016) - the possibility of lichen growth on bones of Homo naledi: Were they exposed to light?

Randolph-Quinney, P.S.; Backwell, L.R.; Berger, L.R.; Hawks, J.; Dirks, P.H.G.M.; Roberts, E.M.; Nhauro, G.; Kramers, J. (Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2016-09)
A sabre-tooth felid from Coopers Cave (Gauteng, South Africa) and its implications for Megantereon (Felidae: Machairodontinae) taxonomy

Hartstone-Rose, Adam; De Ruiter, Darryl J.; Berger, Lee R.; Churchill, Steven E. (BERNARD PRICE INSTITUTE FOR PALAEONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH, 2007)

Metrical and morphological analysis of a new sabre-tooth felid mandible recovered from the Plio-Pleistocene hominid-bearing site of Coopers, South Africa, indicates that it can be assigned to the genus Megantereon, though ...
Small-bodied humans from Palau, Micronesia.

Berger, L.R.; De Klerk, B.; Quinn, R.L.; Churchill, S.E. (Public Library of Science, 2008-03-12)

Newly discovered fossil assemblages of small bodied Homo sapiens from Palau, Micronesia possess characters thought to be taxonomically primitive for the genus Homo. Background: Recent surface collection and test excavation ...
The stable isotope setting of Australopithecus sediba at Malapa, South Africa.

Holt, E.; Dirks, P.; PLaczek, C.; Berger, L.R. (Academic of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2016-07)

We report delta C-13 and delta O-18 results from carbonate-cemented cave sediments at Malapa in South Africa. The sediments were deposited during a short-period magnetic reversal at 1.977±0.003 Ma, immediately preceding ...
Taphonomic analysis of the faunal assemblage associated with the hominins (Australopithecus sediba) from the early pleistocene cave deposits of Malapa, South Africa.

Val, A.; Dirks, P.H.G.M.; Backwell, L.R.; Berger, L.R.; D'Errico, F. (Public Library of Science, 2015-06-10)

Here we present the results of a taphonomic study of the faunal assemblage associated with the hominin fossils (Australopithecus sediba) from the Malapa site. Results include estimation of body part representation, mortality ...
