# The affinities of Homo floresiensis based on phylogenetic analyses of cranial, dental, and postcranial characters

Debbie Argue, Colin P. Groves, Michael S.Y. Lee et al., 2017. _Journal of Human Evolution 107: 107-133_.

Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of cranial, mandibular, dental and postcranial characters across Homo and Australopithecus. Support H. floresiensis as an early Homo lineage, sister to H. habilis or to a clade of H. habilis and later Homo, not a descendant of H. erectus.
