Correction to “Unusual Pubic Bone Morphology in A.L. 288-1 (Australopithecus afarensis) and MH2 (Australopithecus sediba)”

Abstract

Eyre, J., DeSilva, J. M., Semaw, S. and Williams, S. A. “ Unusual Pubic Bone Morphology in A.L. 288-1 (Australopithecus afarensis) and MH2 (Australopithecus sediba).” American Journal of Biological Anthropology 180: 573–582, 2022. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.24649.

On page 576, Table 1 should not have listed human populations separately; rather, it should report the sample sizes for females, males, unknown, and total (n) for Homo sapiens: F = 127, M = 56, unknown = 0, total (n) = 183, with “AMNH, BM, HR, MH, MU, UW” listed under Collection. One population in particular, Indian Knoll Native Americans, were not studied and should not be included in the table, nor should the museum's abbreviation be included in the footnote (“KU, Kentucky University, Lexington, KY”). Similarly, on page 577, “Indian Knoll Native Americans” should not be mentioned, nor should the Acknowledgements mention “the University of Kentucky William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology and George Crothers” on page 581. On page 576, the Table 1 title has been adjusted accordingly. Finally, instead of listing in text the populations from which our human sample derives on page 577, the text should simply read, “Our human sample represents a global sample of males and females (see Table 1 and Acknowledgments).”

The corrected table is presented here.

We regret these errors.
