This week's #NewBooks at the library: Another three books from our January clearance sale, some of which have been review candidates for some time now.
- Planet Palm: How Palm Oil Ended Up in Everything – and Endangered the World, a shocking and eye-opening reportage written by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman and published by Hurst Publishers.
- Making Faces: The Evolutionary Origins of the Human Face, written by Adam S. Wilkins, published by Belknap Press. Not one I was planning to review, but I find it very hard to pass up a bargain on an interesting book on human evolution and physical anthropology.
- Unfit for Purpose: When Human Evolution Collides with the Modern World, written by Adam Hart, published by Bloomsbury Sigma. One of several books that explores the mismatch between our evolutionary legacy and the modern world we have created for ourselves. I expect them to be amusing reads all!

📄 New publication: "The Digitization of Human Skeletal Collections: New Challenges and Perspectives" #OpenAccess
Human skeletal remains are a crucial source for understanding biocultural and evolutionary processes. Yet, their study and management are challenged by social, religious, and political factors, placing them in a ‘grey area’ within cultural heritage. Human skeletal collections often carry colonial legacie (...)

New publication: "Chronic fluoride poisoning during the Roman period in Cumae (Italy): a diagnostic approach to skeletal fluorosis in cremated human remains"
Skeletal fluorosis is a pathological condition resulting from prolonged ingestion of large quantities of fluoride and causing increased bone formation and density. This disease is often endemic in volcanic areas where groundwater frequently contains high levels o...#OpenAccess

New publication: "Understanding the Origin of Superficial Bone Changes in Qafzeh 9 Skull (Middle Paleolithic, Southwestern Asia): Contribution of Three‐Dimensional Imaging"
Objectives: Deciphering the origins of bone alterations is crucial in paleoanthropology for understanding biological variation and distinguishing between taphonomy, normal anatomy, growth‐related changes, and pathological conditions. Materials and Methods: Qaf...

New publication: "Investigating Development in Human Evolution: Specificities, Challenges, and Opportunities"
ABSTRACT Unlike developmental biologists, paleoanthropologists primarily investigate development using skeletal remains, specifically fossilized and already‐formed bones and teeth. Focusing on peri‐ and/or postnatal growth, they reconstruct development from fragmented “snapshots” of individual trajectories at various ont...

New publication: "Assessing Histotaphonomy: A Pilot Study Using Image Analysis for Quantitative Scoring of Bone Diagenesis"
ABSTRACT This pilot study focusses on improving the methodological approach of histotaphonomy by integrating image analysis software for assessing bone diagenesis in both bone histological sections and microcomputed tomography (μ‐CT) scans of the same bone slice. Femurs and ribs from six individuals buried at...#OpenAccess

New publication: "Population affinities in pre‐colonial West Africa: The case of the burial cave Iroungou (Gabon, 14th–15th century CE)"
Introduction: Our knowledge of the populations of sub-Saharan Africa in the periods before European colonization is limited. Few archeological sites containing human remains have been identified, and written sources for these periods are rare. The discovery in 2018 of the Iroungou se... #PhysicalAnthropology #Archaeology https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.24997
