All models of evolution of human behaviour depend on the correct identification and interpretation of bone surface modifications (BSM) on archaeofaunal assemblages. Crucial evolutionary features, such as the origin of stone tool use, meat-eating, foo...
Malonylation is a recently discovered post-translational modification (PTM) in which a malonyl group attaches to a lysine (K) amino acid residue of a protein. In this work, a novel machine learning model, SPRINT-Mal, is developed to predict malonylat...
Bone surface modifications are foundational to the correct identification of hominin butchery traces in the archaeological record. Until present, no analytical technique existed that could provide objectivity, high accuracy, and an estimate of probab...
There is a wide consensus in considering Africa as the birthplace of anatomically modern humans (AMH), but the dispersal pattern and the main routes followed by our ancestors to colonize the world are still matters of debate. It is still an open ques...

OBJECTIVES: Convolutional neural network (CNN) is a state-of-art deep learning (DL) method with superior performance in image classification. Here, a CNN-based workflow is proposed to discriminate hominid teeth. Our hope is that this method could hel...
PURPOSE: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) is widely applied for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. In clinical practice, the long scanning procedures and acquisition time might induce ...
Self-sufficient ideographies are rare because they are stifled by the issue of standardization. Similar issues arise with abstract art or drawings created by young children or great apes. We propose that mathematical indices and artificial intelligen...
Dental evolutionary studies in hominins are key to understanding how our ancestors and close fossil relatives grew from the early stages of embryogenesis into adults. In a sense, teeth are like an airplane's 'black box' as they record important varia...
