Ecomorphology in Kenya's Koobi Fora Formation: Reconstructing Early Pleistocene hominin paleoenvironments with 3D geometric morphometric analyses of bovid metapodials

Key Points

• Ecomorphology reveals insights into the ecological roles of early Pleistocene hominins and their environments.
• Analysis utilizes 3D geometric morphometric methods to assess bovid metapodials, focusing on their functional adaptations.
• Observational analysis focuses on the Koobi Fora Formation in Kenya, covering important paleontological findings.
• Findings may enhance understanding of early hominin behavior and ecological adaptations during the Pleistocene.
