A skull fragment pulled from a lime-mining pit near Johannesburg may be the oldest adult Homo erectus known. At Drimolen, our ancestors were outnumbered by Paranthropus more than 10 to 1. #HumanEvolution #Paleoanthropology #Drimolen www.anthropology.net/p/homo-erect...

Mies & @mathiesoniain.bsky.social demonstrate that while local ancestry inference recovers biologically meaningful signals in ancient genomes, results can be sensitive to the methods used for inference, particularly in complex regions.

🎓 Big day at the #UniversityofTartu #GI, as @kai-t2tte.bsky.social is defending her PhD.

Defenses r high-pressure, but she’s handling it with courage and focus.
Rooting for you, Kai—make us proud! 💪🇪🇪 #PhDDefense @unitartupress.bsky.social #researchineatonia #AcademicTwitter

The newest face of the oldest known member of our species was built from a 2017 press video, fossils from at least two individuals and a modern stranger’s CT scan. #JebelIrhoud #HumanEvolution #Paleoanthropology www.anthropology.net/p/the-315000...

Human cartilage holds a third of the cushioning sugars found in ape cartilage, even in the elbow, which apes load harder. Gene switches set before we split from Neanderthals may be why. #HumanEvolution #Osteoarthritis #Genetics www.anthropology.net/p/human-join...

At an upcoming public talk at NCBS-TIFR, OHT’s Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan will draw on his book Bacteria to Buddha to explore how cooperation shaped consciousness, trust & human relationships and more. #OneHealth #BacteriaToBuddha #Consciousness #Cooperation #HumanEvolution #ArtificialIntelligence

Did a facial portrait of her. I wanted it to look like her Afro puff had little "twists" or ringlets styled into it. #hominin #humanevolution #paleoanthropology #paleoart #art

At Bossou, Guinea, a chimpanzee mother carried her dead infant for 68 days. A new analysis of 83 cases finds how long mothers carry can be explained without assuming they know death is final. #Primatology #Chimps #HumanEvolution www.primatology.net/p/why-chimpa...

Representing #UTInstituteofGenomics on Day 3 of #EESHuman, @embo.org @events.embl.org. Presented my work on pop-specific haplotype fingerprint, while #JRodrigo_flores abt biases in #aDNA imputation for selection inference.
Great science & new perspectives on human past! 🧬

You should be proud of your deformed head! It's a sign of your humanity!

Little Foot, 3.67 million years old, loaded its arms like a climbing gorilla and its legs like a walking human. Early Homo had left the trees by 1.8 million years ago. #HumanEvolution #Australopithecus #Paleoanthropology www.anthropology.net/p/little-foo...

Museum teeth gathered by Jesuit priests in Lebanon show the central Levant kept its woodlands and steady seasons for 300,000 years while parts of the south grew more open. #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #Paleoclimate www.anthropology.net/p/lebanons-i...
