Abstract

Context: This review paper captures the topics and discussions during a workshop held in April 2023 in Minden, Nevada, USA regarding the study of pre-adult hominin fossil specimens.

Objective: Perspectives from diverse academic fields were merged to articulate, examine and clarify the many approaches available to interpret fossil remains and reconstruct our hominin ancestors.

Methods: The Wenner-Gren Workshop was organised to address the increasing collection of pre-adult hominin remains. Sixteen scientists from North America, Europe, Australia and Africa participated.

Results: The sizeable sample of immature fossil hominin specimens provided the opportunity to reflect on the state of maturity research, highlight multi-disciplinary advances, and identify future areas for study.

Conclusion: The workshop advanced efforts to understand human evolution, particularly the selective pressures shaping patterns of growth and maturity across a broad range of hominin species.

古人类学和前成人化石的研究。

背景：本文回顾了2023年4月在美国内华达州明登举行的一次关于前成年人族化石标本研究的研讨会上的主题和讨论。目的：融合不同学术领域的观点，阐明、检验和澄清许多可用的方法来解释化石遗骸和重建我们的人类祖先。方法：温纳-格伦研讨会的组织，以解决日益增加的收集前成年人族遗骸。来自北美、欧洲、澳大利亚和非洲的16名科学家参加了研究。结果：大量未成熟的古人类化石标本提供了反思成熟研究现状的机会，突出了多学科的进展，并确定了未来的研究领域。结论：本次研讨会促进了对人类进化的理解，特别是对形成人类生长和成熟模式的选择压力的理解。
