Proboscidean research
- A study on the landscape-scale patterns in diet of mammoths and mastodons is published by Pardi & DeSantis (2022), who report evidence indicating that mammoths had significant dietary preferences for grass, but also engaged in more mixed-feeding in the areas outside the most environmentally suitable parts of their distribution, while the dietary preferences for mastodons were less resolved.[3]

- A study on patterns of landscape use by "Buesching mastodon" (recovered in 1998 from a peat farm near Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States) during its life is published by Miller et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as indicative of shifts in landscape use by this individual during adolescence and following maturation to adulthood, including increased monthly movements and development of a summer-only range and mating ground.[5]
- A study on the carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in teeth of a sub-adult mastodon found in southern Brazil is published by Lopes et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as indicative of a diet shift during the life of the animal, and indicating that mastodons were able to change their diets at shorter timescales than can be addressed from the analysis of isolated teeth.[6]

- Mothé et al. (2022) describe new fossil material of Notiomastodon platensis from three Pleistocene sites in the Valle del Cauca Department (Colombia), and interpret the distribution of the fossil material of N. platensis as indicating that this proboscidean used the inter-Andean valleys as migratory corridors, avoiding more prominent Andean hills.[9]

- Evidence indicating that the shovel-tusked gomphotheres from Florida (Amebelodon floridanus, Konobelodon britti, Serbelodon barbourensis) were leaf browsers that also ingested bark and twigs, using their upper tusks for scraping and slicing and their lower tusks for shoveling substrate (S. barbourensis and K. britti) or stripping and scraping (A. floridanus), is presented by Semprebon, Pirlo & Dudek (2022).[11]
- A study on the range of size variation in palaeoloxodont elephants from Sicily, Favignana and Malta, inhabiting the Siculo-Maltese Palaeoarchipelago during the Pleistocene, and on possible reasons for size differences of these elephants is published by Scarborough (2022).[12]
- A study on the morphological variation of samples of steppe mammoth and woolly mammoth remains, focusing on ca. 240,000-126,000 samples from Britain and the adjacent continent, is published by Lister (2022), providing evidence of a complex pattern of change in the transition from the steppe mammoth to the woolly mammoth in Europe.[13]
- Evidence from woolly mammoth genomes (including genomes of two new Siberian specimens), indicating that genomic insertions and large deletions likely contributed to adaptive phenotypic evolution of the woolly mammoths, is presented by van der Valk et al. (2022).[14]

(2022) describe new assemblages of fossils of late Pleistocene Old World monkeys from the Middle Awash (Ethiopia), including fossils of the hamadryas baboons falling within the range of morphological variation observed for extant members of this species,[26] fossils of black-and-white colobuses with morphologies intermediate between Middle Pleistocene samples from the Asbole site and modern mantled guereza[27] and members or relatives of the genus Chlorocebus which might be ancestral to the monkeys currently living in the Afar region of Ethiopia.[28]
- A study on the phylogenetic relationships for Middle-Late Miocene fossil apes is published by Pugh (2022).[29]
- Rossie & Cote (2022) describe new fossil material of apes from the Miocene Lothidok Formation (Kenya), including a new mandible and an isolated molar of Turkanapithecus kalakolensis, expanding the knowledge of the lower molar morphology of the species; a new mandible of Simiolus enjiessi; and a new male specimen of Afropithecus turkanensis with unusual premolar morphology.[30]

- A review aiming to determine the value of extant primates as models for reconstructions of fossil hominin stone tool culture is published by Bandini, Harrison & Motes-Rodrigo (2022).[39]
General paleoanthropology
- Monson et al. (2022) present evidence indicative of an increase in prenatal growth rates of hominids over the last 6 million years, with significant increases aligning with major evolutionary changes (adaptation to bipedality, increase of brain size associated with the evolution of genus Homo, the evolution of Homo erectus), and with prenatal growth rates more similar to humans than to other extant apes evolving in members of the genus Homo ~0.25–0.75 million years ago.[40]
- A study on the evolution of modern human brain size during the Pliocene and Pleistocene, combining fourteen previous studies that document the evolution of brain size in gracile hominins in a consensus time series, is published by Gingerich (2022) who identifies four successive phases of evolutionary stasis and change.[41]
- Revision of the age of major South African hominin sites, based on faunal correlations of Old World monkeys from African Plio-Pleistocene sites, is published by Frost et al.

- Pickford et al. (2022) describe new fossil material of Orrorin praegens and Praeanthropus afarensis from the Pliocene Mabaget Formation (Kenya), and study the paleoenvironment of both species, reporting that O. praegens was found alongside a forest-adapted fauna, while geologically younger P. afarensis was found alongside an open woodland to savannah-like fauna.[43]
- A study on the likely diet of members of the genus Paranthropus is published by Sponheimer et al. (2022).[44]
- A study aiming to determine whether it is possible to identify distinct groups of Paranthropus robustus consistently with their provenience from the sites of Kromdraai, Drimolen and Swartkrans (South Africa), based on data from new fossil material of P. robustus from Kromdraai and Drimolen, is published by Braga et al.

- A study on the mechanical strength of the feeding apparatus of australopiths is published by Ledogar et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as indicating that the strength of gracile australopith crania overlaps substantially with that of chimpanzee crania, with some gracile australopith crania as strong as that of a robust australopith, and hypothesize that the evolution of cranial traits of australopiths that increased the efficiency of bite force production may have simultaneously weakened their face.[47]
- A study on the habitat types at the Woranso-Mille site (Ethiopia) during the Pliocene, and on factors which allowed the coexistence of more than one species of Australopithecus at the site, is published by Denise Su & Yohannes Haile-Selassie (2022).[48]
- A study on the morphology and affinities of two 3.7-million-year-old hominin mandibles from Woranso-Mille is published by Yohannes Haile-Selassie et al.

- A calcaneus of an early hominin, with a morphology that is intermediate between humans and nonhuman apes, is described from the Kromdraai fossil site (South Africa) by Harper et al. (2022).[52]
- Zanolli et al. (2022) revise the dental fossil record of hominins the southern African sites of Sterkfontein, Swartkrans, Drimolen and Kromdraai B, and interpret their findings as indicative of a paucity of Homo remains and of increased levels of dental variation in australopith taxa, with some specimens of unclear generic status approximating the Homo condition in terms of overall enamel–dentine junction shape but retaining Australopithecus-like dental traits.[53]

- A vertebra of a juvenile hominin is described from the early Pleistocene site of 'Ubeidiya (Israel) by Barash et al. (2022), who estimate the adult size of this hominin as comparable to early Pleistocene large-bodied hominins from Africa, and interpret this finding as the earliest large-bodied hominin remains from the Levantine corridor reported to date, distinct from other early Eurasian hominins, sharing affinities to East African large-bodied hominins, and supporting the occurrence of several Pleistocene dispersals of hominins out of Africa.[56]
- A study on the 2.6 to 1.2 million years old zooarchaeological record of eastern Africa, aiming to determine whether the zooarchaeological record preserves sustained increase in the amount of evidence for hominin carnivory after the appearance of Homo erectus, is published by Barr et al. (2022).[57]
- A study on the lesions of Dmanisi skull D2280 is published by Margvelashvili et al. (2022), who interpret the studied pathologies as evidence of blunt force trauma possibly caused by interpersonal violence, as well as evidence of treponemal disease.[58]
- A study on fish remains from the early Middle Pleistocene (~780,000-years-old) site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov (Israel) is published by Zohar et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as indicating that hominins from this site cooked fish before consumption, representing the earliest evidence of cooking by hominins reported to date.[59]
- Evidence from the Zhoukoudian Locality 1 interpreted as indicative of controlled use of fire by Peking Man is presented by Huang, Li & Gao (2022).[60]

- A study on the dispersal of Homo erectus in Southeast Asia is published by Husson et al. (2022), who determine H. erectus from the Sangiran site to be approximately 1.8-million-years-old, argue that the appearance of H. erectus in Java marks the onset of continental conditions there rather than the timing of their migration across Southeast Asia, and consider early H. erectus peopling Sundaland to be contemporary with their Chinese and Georgian counterparts.[62]
- A study on the morphological variability among Middle Pleistocene Chinese hominins, aiming to determine the evolutionary processes that shaped hominin variation in eastern Eurasia during the Middle Pleistocene, is published by Liu et al. (2022).[63]

(2022).[68]
- A study aiming to determine the degree to which cranial variation seen in the fossil record of late Pleistocene hominins from Western Eurasia corresponds with the genetic data indicative of hybridization between distinct hominin lineages is published by Harvati & Ackermann (2022), who identify individual fossils as possibly admixed, and suggest that different cranial regions may preserve hybridization signals differentially.[69]
- A hominin molar which might belong to a Denisovan is described from the Tam Ngu Hao 2 limestone cave in the Annamite Mountains (Laos) by Demeter et al. (2022).[70]
- A study on the impact of the sexual dimorphism, ancestry and lifestyle effects on lordosis in a large sample of modern humans and Neanderthals is published by Williams et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as casting doubt on proposed locomotor and postural differences between modern humans and Neanderthals based on inferred lumbar lordosis (or lack thereof), and indicating that future studies should not compare remains of fossil hominins and preindustrial modern humans to samples from sedentary, industrialized populations, but rather to the remains of individuals that engaged in more active, traditional lifestyles.[71]
- Putative Neanderthal footprints from Matalascañas (Province of Huelva, Spain), initially considered to be approximately 106,000 years old,[72] are reinterpreted as Middle Pleistocene in age (dating to the MIS 9-MIS 8 transition) by Mayoral et al. (2022).[73]
- Four teeth of Neanderthals, belonging to at least two individuals (an adult and a child) and representing the earliest evidence of Neanderthal spread into the Eastern Mediterranean Area reported to date, are described from the Chibanian of the Velika Balanica cave (Serbia) by Roksandic et al. (2022).[74]
- Andreeva et al. (2022) present mitochondrial DNA and genome sequencing results from the study of a tooth of a Neanderthal woman from the Mezmaiskaya cave (Adygea, Russia), and interpret their findings as indicating that the studied individual was more closely related to Neanderthals from the Mezmaiskaya cave and from the Stajnia cave (Poland) associated with the Eastern Micoquien context than with Western European Neanderthals associated with other Middle Paleolithic cultural facies, and that the studied individual was the last member of the early Neanderthal branches which were replaced by genetically distant late Neanderthal populations 60–40 thousand years ago.[75]
- Skov et al. (2022) present genetic data for 13 Neanderthals from two Middle Palaeolithic sites (Chagyrskaya Cave and Okladnikov Cave) in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia (Russia), and interpret their findings as indicating that some Chagyrskaya individuals were closely related (including a father–daughter pair) and that the Chagyrskaya Neanderthals were part of a small community.[76]
- Evidence from zinc isotope analysis of tooth enamel of a Neanderthal individual from the cave site Cueva de los Moros 1 (Gabasa, Pyrenees, Spain), interpreted as supporting the interpretation of Neanderthals as carnivores, is presented by Jaouen et al. (2022).[77]
- A study on the impact of climatic effects on ecosystem productivity during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in the Iberian Peninsula is published by Vidal-Cordasco et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as providing evidence of the impact of Marine Isotope Stage 3 stadial–interstadial cycles on ecosystem productivity, as well as indicative of coincidence of changes of net primary productivity with the spatial and temporal replacement patterns of Neanderthals by modern humans in Iberia, and indicating that Neanderthals survived longer in the areas where changes of ecosystem productivity were small.[78]
- A study on the impact of the single amino acid change in TKTL1 differentiating modern humans from extinct archaic humans and other primates on neocortex development is published by Pinson et al. (2022), who consider it likely that this change was responsible for greater neocortical neurogenesis in modern humans than in Neanderthals.[79]

- A study on the endocranial development in early Homo sapiens, based on data from fossil material of child and adult individuals from Herto (Ethiopia), Skhul and Qafzeh (Israel), is published by Zollikofer et al. (2022), who interpret their findings as indicating that brain growth dynamics of Pleistocene H. sapiens might have had more in common with Neanderthals than with modern H. sapiens, as well as indicating that the brains of fossil and modern H. sapiens were probably structurally similar, and that the differences of shape of braincases between fossil and modern adult individuals of H. sapiens were not caused by different brain anatomy, and were more likely caused by factors such as effects of shift to softer diets and/or reduced metabolic demands on craniofacial size and shape.[83]
- Reconstruction of the eastern African environments inhabited by early human populations during the Middle Stone Age, evaluating the role of shifting environmental conditions on the distribution and variability of dated Middle Stone Age assemblages, is published by Timbrell et al. (2022).[84]
- Evidence of four periods of human occupation between c. 210,000 and 120,000 years ago is reported from Jebel Faya (United Arab Emirates) by Bretzke et al.

(2022), who evaluate the implications of these findings for the knowledge of the processes of innovation and cultural transmission in southern Africa during the Middle Stone Age.[88]
- Hominin fossils interpreted as evidence of the earliest known arrival of modern humans in Europe (between 56,800 and 51,700 calibrated years before the present) are described from the Grotte Mandrin (France) by Slimak et al. (2022).[89]

(2022).[91]
- Maloney et al. (2022) report the discovery of remains of a young individual from the Liang Tebo cave (East Kalimantan, Indonesia) living at least 31,000 years ago, interpreted as surviving the surgical amputation of part of their leg and living for another 6–9 years.[92]
- Zhang et al. (2022) sequence the genome of a Late Pleistocene hominin from Red Deer Cave (Yunnan, China), and interpret hominins from Red Deer Cave as members of an early diversified lineage of anatomically modern humans in East Asia with a link to the ancestry that contributed to First Americans.[93]
- A study on patterns in the stratigraphic integrity of early North American archeological sites, and on their implications for the knowledge of the timing of human arrival to North America, is published by Surovell et al. (2022).[94]
- Rowe et al. (2022) study the bone assemblage from the Hartley mammoth locality (Colorado, United States) dating to 38,900–36,250 calibrated years before the present, and interpret this assemblage as a butchery site.[95]
- Davis et al. (2022) report the discovery of an assemblage of stemmed projectile points from Cooper's Ferry site (Idaho, United States), dating to ~16,000 years ago and predating stemmed points found previously at the site (as well as Clovis fluted points), and note the similarity of the studied projectile points with projectiles from late Upper Paleolithic sites in Hokkaido (Japan).[96]
- A study on the authenticity of the potential Ice Age rock art of Serranía de la Lindosa (Colombia) is published by Iriarte et al. (2022), who argue that there are sound grounds to consider the studied paintings as ancient and likely representing now-extinct Ice Age megafauna.[97]
- Lipson et al. (2022) present new genome-wide ancient DNA data from three Late Pleistocene and three early to middle Holocene individuals associated with Late Stone Age technologies from Kisese II and Mlambalasi Rockshelters in Tanzania, Fingira and Hora 1 Rockshelters in Malawi and Kalemba Rockshelter in Zambia, and study changes in regional- and continental-scale population structures in sub-Saharan Africa during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene.[98]
- Computational biologists report the largest detailed human genetic genealogy, unifying human genomes from many sources for insights about human history, ancestry and evolution. It demonstrates a novel computational method for estimating how human DNA is related, in specific as a series of 13 million linked trees along the genome, a tree-sequence, which has also been called "the largest human family tree".[99][100][101]
- Geneticists report that the fastest-evolved regions of the human genome, they call HAQERs, "rapidly diverged in an episodic burst" of positive selection prior to the human-Neanderthal split and identify over 1,500 such HAQERs that substantially distinguish humans from related other apes via datasets such as of HARs and experiments that use embryonic mouse brains.[102][103]

- The best-preserved material of Nimravides catocopis is described by Jiangzuo, Li & Deng (2022), who argue that Nimravides was a North American endemic sabertoothed cat rather than an immigrant from Eurasia, that the Old World lineage of sabertoothed cats experienced a higher evolutionary rate of cranial traits, giving rise to a more derived genus Amphimachairodus, and that Amphimachairodus did not immediately replace Nimravides through direct competition after migrating to North America.[277]
- Revised reconstruction of the soft tissue and life appearance of Homotherium latidens is proposed by Antón et al. (2022).[278]
- A complete cranium of Homotherium, with morphology indicative of assignment to Homotherium crenatidens teilhardipiveteaui, is described from the Shigou locality in the Nihewan Basin (China) by Jiangzuo, Zhao & Chen (2022), who interpret this finding as indicative of a largely continuous gene flow within Eurasia during the evolution of Homotherium, and indicating that the subspecies delimitation within the genus Homotherium should be more chronological than geographical.[279]
- Partial mandible of a felid from Taiwan (probably from the Pleistocene Chi-Ting Formation), originally interpreted as a fossil of a member of the genus Felis, is reinterpreted as a fossil of a member of the genus Homotherium by Tsai & Tseng (2022).[280]

(2022).[281]
- Description of postcranial remains of a large-bodied sabretooth felid from the Lower Pliocene site of Langebaanweg "E" Quarry (South Africa), interpreted as more similar in morphology and proportions to Machairodus aphanistus and Lokotunjailurus emageritus than to Amphimachairodus giganteus, is published by Rabe, Chinsamy & Valenciano (2022), who report pathologies in the foot and lumbar spine of the studied specimen interpreted as consistent with severe osteoarthritis, limiting limb mobility of the studied specimen and possibly making its long-term survival dependent on it being a social animal.[282]
- New fossil material of a lynx belonging or related to the species Lynx issiodorensis is described from the Villafranchian site of La Puebla de Valverde (Spain) by Cuccu et al. (2022), who evaluate the implications of this finding for the knowledge of the European lynx fossil record.[283]

- Figueirido et al. (2022) describe the anatomy of the brain of Miracinonyx trumani, report that the brain of M. trumani differed from the brain of extant cheetah, and argue that Miracinonyx might not have been as specialized as the cheetah in deploying a fast-running pursuit.[286]
- Large felid remains assigned to the species Panthera fossilis are described from the Grotte de la Carrière in Eastern Pyrenees by Prat-Vericat et al. (2022), who evaluate the implications of these fossils for the knowledge of the paleobiology of P. fossilis.[287]

- Review of the fossil record of lions and lion-like felids from Ukraine is published by Marciszak et al. (2022), who interpret the studied fossils as confirming the gradual decrease in body size of Panthera spelaea.[289]
- A study on the size and shape differences among lions and Pleistocene lion-like felids from Europe, Asia and North America is published by Sabol, Tomašových & Gullár (2022), who interpret their findings as indicating that Panthera fossilis and P. spelaea potentially belong to one chronospecies, while Panthera atrox differs from other lion forms and could be considered a separate taxon.[290]
- A study on the anatomy and affinities of Panthera gombaszoegensis, based on data from a new skull from Belgium, is published by Chatar, Michaud & Fischer (2022), who interpret this felid as more closely related to the tiger than to the jaguar.[291]
