Mosaic evolution results from multiple influences molding morphological traits and implies the hierarchical organization of organismal traits into semiautonomous subsets, or modules, which reflect differential genetic and developmental origins.
However, certain researchers have begun to voice the opinion that as a habitat concept, the mosaic is too general to be informative (Kingston, 2007). Here we review the origin and development of the Zmosaic habitat in human evolution studies. As the word mosaic suggests, this habitat concept implies several
the ‘mosaic habitat’ (also referred to as habitat heterogeneity) has been a central concept in this regard for the last four decades. Here we explore the development of this concept ...

5 Ιουλ 2016 · It is not one phase of becoming human that represents a major transition, but the cumulative effect of them, the processes of mosaic evolution, and the very recent extinction of all other hominins that enhances the distinctiveness of humans.
In order to promote a clarification of the use of the concept in literature, we propose here a classification in three diferent meanings of the notion of mosaic in human evolution: 1) morphological (inter-specific and intra-specific) instability in a certain phase of a branched phylogeny; 2) multiple trajectories and versions of the same adaptiv...
