“…Patterns of shape variation were investigated by performing a principal component analysis (PCA) of the Procrustes shape variables. Mugharet el'Aliya and all early H. sapiens fossils were not used to calculate the PCAs shown and discussed in detail in the main text but were instead projected into the plots, following established procedure (see e.g., Bosman et al, 2020; Harvati et al, 2019; Mori et al, 2020; Röding et al, 2021). Shape changes occurring along each plotted principal component (PC) were illustrated as direct visualization of the vertices of each PC extreme.…”

Objectives: This study uses a virtual framework to examine the left maxillary fragment of the juvenile fossil from Mugharet el'Aliya, Morocco, found in association with an Aterian lithic industry. Previously, this fossil had been ascribed to modern humans or the Neanderthal lineage based on its "archaic"/"Neanderthal-like" features and apparent large size. Here, we conducted a novel 3D shape comparative analysis of the maxillary fragment to clarify its taxonomic affinities with regard to its size and ontogeny.

The study of human evolution, also known as palaeoanthropology, focuses on our distant and more recent human past; what shaped us as a lineage, genus, and species; and how we came to be the diverse single species we are today. However, the bulk of this research, knowledge production, and understanding has been driven by the global North to the exclusion of non‐Western scientists, despite the deep and rich fossil record of formerly colonized regions (Africa, Australia, South and Southeast Asia, North/South America), maintaining a neocolonial dynamic to this day. Coloniality manifests itself in paleoanthropology in multiple ways: who conducts research, who gets recognition and reward, whose voices and worldviews get centered in paleoanthropological models, what is considered to constitute scientific knowledge, where fossil/archaeological material is housed and curated, and who controls access to these collections. This entry explores these manifestations of coloniality, offering corrective practices.
