This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 June 2026.
All research outputs
#9,525,440
of 34,199,106 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Human Evolution
#1,445
of 2,688 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#66,601
of 357,961 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Human Evolution
#12
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,199,106 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,688 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 28.2. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 357,961 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
