The year 2015 was an active research year in biological anthropology in many areas, including fossil hominins, ancient DNA, health and disease, and primate research. Particularly noteworthy this year was a sea change in paleoanthropological research when the newest fossil discovery, Homo naledi, was shared both through open-access journal articles and through 3D printable fossil casts. Despite many bright research areas, we continue to struggle with issues of sexual harassment and diversity, as do many sciences, and I discuss positive, substantive actions in these areas. With race, genetics, health, and primates in the news, public interest in biological anthropology is booming. I highlight social media that pull people into well-researched content areas and new books that reflect the breadth of the field.

Particularmente notable este año fue el cambio radical en la investigación paleo-antropológica cuando el más nuevo descubrimiento fósil, Homo naledi, fue compartido tanto por artículos de acceso abierto como por moldes fósiles imprimibles en 3D. A pesar de muchasáreas brillantes de investigación, continuamos luchando con cuestiones de acoso sexual y diversidad, como muchas ciencias lo hacen, y discuto acciones positivas, sustanciales en estasáreas.

Teeth play a prominent role in paleoanthropological research. Details of tooth size, shape, and structure are used to delineate species and to provide insight into the social behavior, life history, and ecological strategies of extinct species. Further, enamel stable isotopes, dental microwear, and food residue analyses are used to capture dietary behaviors at different temporal scales within an individual's life. Thus, teeth provide an excellent source of information about the evolution and ecology of our extinct relatives.

Nasopharyngeal morphology contributes to understanding the “muddle in the middle” of the Pleistocene hominin fossil record

The late archeologist Glynn Isaac first applied the term "muddle in the middle" to a poorly understood period in the Middle Pleistocene human fossil record. This study uses the nasopharyngeal boundaries as a source of traits that may inform this unclear period of human evolution. The nasopharynx lies at the nexus of several vital physiological systems, yet relatively little is known about its importance in human evolution. We analyzed a geographically diverse contemporary Homo sapiens growth series (n = 180 adults, 237 nonadults), Homo neanderthalensis
