Abstract
Context: This review paper captures the topics and discussions during a workshop held in April 2023
in Minden, Nevada, USA regarding the study of pre-adult hominin fossil specimens.
Objective: Perspectives from diverse academic fields were merged to articulate, examine and clarify the
many approaches available to interpret fossil remains and reconstruct our hominin ancestors.
Methods: The Wenner-Gren Workshop was organised to address the increasing collection of pre-adult
hominin remains. Sixteen scientists from North America, Europe, Australia and Africa participated.
Results: The sizeable sample of immature fossil hominin specimens provided the opportunity to reflect
on the state of maturity research, highlight multi-disciplinary advances, and identify future areas for
study.
Conclusion: The workshop advanced efforts to understand human evolution, particularly the selective
pressures shaping patterns of growth and maturity across a broad range of hominin species.
