Cool. I’m getting seriously into paleoanthropology myself. My GF gave me a copy of one of the best current text books on the topic - Processes in Human Evolution: The journey from early hominins to Neanderthals and modern humans
Biggest problem I have is that I can’t afford when papers come out in places like Nature. Their pricing sucks for amateurs though there are more and more open-source journals out there. And you have to read the current papers in this field more than some because it’s changing nearly daily.
University libraries often have copies of the important journal, and offer some access to the general public (for a fee).
