About the Journal

Ceased Publication
PAGEPress has planned an internal reconstruction in order to focus more carefully on the development of its journals and to achieve a better resources management. Given the slow development of Human Origins Research starting from 1st January 2014 it won’t accept any further submissions. Papers still in review will be processed and published in the current issue of the journal, and archived issues will always be available at this site. Moreover, articles will also be accessible through the Portico digital preservation service, our partner in keeping digital contents always available. We would like to thank Editors, Authors and Reviewers for their commitment in shaping and promoting this publication.
Current Issue
Vol. 2 No. 1 (2012)
Different species concepts, which broadened the scope of Mayr’s Biological Species Concept, have been put forward aiming to produce sound taxonomies of fossil taxa. Here, we propose using a simple one, the Evolutionary Species Concept, on the grounds of considering that separation of populations – disregarding other issues – is enough to describe the evolution of the human lineage. The question of the acceptable number of Middle Pleistocene hominin species is used as an example.
