The Journal of Human Evolution is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of evolution, specializing in human and primate evolution. The journal was established in 1972 and is published by Elsevier in print and online on ScienceDirect. As of November 2015, the journal was on its 88th volume. The editors-in-chief are Sarah Elton (Durham University) and Mike Plavcan (University of Arkansas).
The journal content covers all aspects of human evolution, focusing on those topics in physical anthropology, primatology, paleoanthropology, and paleolithic archaeology. Topics include but are not limited to studies of human and primate fossils, comparative studies of living species through morphological and molecular evidence (See Molecular Anthropology), and studies supporting fossil evidence of primate and human evolution through stratigraphy and taphonomy. Additional research areas include interpretative analyses of new and previously described fossil or skeletal material, assessments of the phylogeny and paleobiology of primate species including the line of Homo, and studies involving paleoecological and paleogeographical models of primate and human evolution. In addition to articles and studies published in the journal, the journal makes available space to publish brief announcements of new or important discoveries.
In this journal, individual journal contributors maintain the ability to limit the reach of their published articles. Contributors can decide to limit access to their articles by choosing to publish their articles for subscribers only or to publish their articles as open access content, which allows the general public access to their articles.
