The Importance of Honey Consumption in Human Evolution (2011, background): “across East Africa, suggest that ecological changes during the Late Pliocene may have led to changes in resource availability for early Homo (Ungar et al. 2006).”
Innovative Approaches to the Relationship Between Diet and Mandibular Morphology in Primates (2012, background): “This would be congruent with Hylander’s hypothesis that more high cusped occlusal surfaces might be associated with more vertically oriented bite forces (Hylander 1988; Ungar et al. 2006).”
Earliest fire in Africa: towards the convergence of archaeological evidence and the cooking hypothesis (2013, background): “Based on that assumption the dietary specialisation associated with hominisation would have consisted merely of a change in composition, for example adding more meat (Milton 1999), extending variety (Ungar et al. 2006) or emphasising tubers (O’Connell et al. 1999).”
