About the bibliography

My bibliography database represents years of work by many people. The core of the database was compiled by Milford Wolpoff, with contributions from many students and coauthors. I have added substantially to the database during the last fifteen years, and since I have been blogging all new entries are linked by Digital Object Identifier numbers to their place of publication.

If you find the database useful, please take time to thank the people who worked hard to compile it. I know they will appreciate hearing it.

This database began as a flat text file of bibliographic entries, which I have over the years scripted into a computer-readable format. Many errors have slipped in, including typos from the initial data entry, script fragments from my BibTeX database, and some entries that began in a non-standard format and were scrambled by scripts. Please do not write me expecting that I will fix these errors. It would take me weeks of work to do this. Works will be fixed as I cite them or enter updated information for them.

There are also errors of omission. Most entries are here because they got cited, in Milford's books, in the many research articles by him or his students, or in my work. I mention this mainly because I know that some of you will look up your own names, and find many important papers missing from the database. If you're disappointed in the representation of your articles here, by all means contact me and I will work with you. This database is mirrored on CiteULike and Mendeley and I can import your bibliographic data from these sites, EndNote, BibTeX or other standard formats.

A fuller introduction to the bibliography is in my initial announcement.

Neandertals

For years, I've worked on their bones. Now I'm working on their genes. Read more about the science studying these ancient people.

Denisova

From a finger bone of an ancient human came the record of a completely unexpected population. My lab is working on the science of the Denisova genome.

Acceleration

The advent of agriculture caused natural selection to speed up greatly in humans. We're uncovering some of the ways that populations have rapidly changed during the last 10,000 years.

Malapa

Just outside Johannesburg, the Malapa site is producing some of the most exciting finds in human evolution. This site is the headquarters of the Malapa Soft Tissue Project.
