This is the dumbest thing that I've read this year, and I'm in the U.S.
Why would you take #hominid bones on a Virgin Galactic #spaceflight trip? What sort of publicity are you trying to generate? Is the University of #Witwatersrand losing students and looking for a way to attract them back?
"... for the promotion of #science and discoveries in South Africa."
Uh-huh.

Ancient Skull found in China may belong to previously unknown human lineage
A team of paleontologists has found evidence of a previously undocumented human lineage.
The research centered around the analysis of fossilized remains—a jawbone, partial skull, and leg bones—dating back 300,000 years.

“The HLD 6 mandible provides further support for the high morphological diversity during late Middle Pleistocene hominin evolution. With these findings, it is possible that modern human morphologies are present as early as 300 ka and earlier than the emergence of modern humans in East Asia.” #isogg #dna #ancientdna #hominid #geneadons

The world’s oldest stone tools were made by an ape-like hominid 3.3 million years ago, predating the emergence of the genus Homo by half a million years. This suggests that tool-making was not a unique feature of our ancestors but a more widespread and ancient skill among hominids. The discovery also challenges the conventional view that stone tools were linked to larger brains and language evolution. #stonetools #hominid #evolution https://www.iflscience.com/worlds-oldest-stone-tools-were-made-by-ape-like-hominid-33-million-years-ago-70138/

Hominid and hominin – what’s the difference?
"Current use of the term ‘hominid’ can be confusing because the definition of this word has changed over time."

It sure is. I couldn't even imagine trying to play upright bass with the way mine gets. I just never get to really rest it. 2 girls under 5 always want to be carried, 2 hours of commuting a day, microscope, computer, phone.
Like, #extraterrestrial #panspermia or non-human #hominid like #Neanderthal?

More info about our #hominid #ancestors…this time about the powers of 👃
“The Denisovans, who lived 30,000 to 50,000 years ago, were shown to be less sensitive to the odors that present-day humans perceive as floral, but four times better at sensing sulfur and three times better at balsamic. And they were very attuned to honey.”

I feel like there’s been a plethora of stories lately pushing back the boundaries of when our #hominid ancestors started doing stuff…like apparently some thought “Hey, we mastered how to make pointy sticks, let’s go kill some adult cave bears so we can wear their skins!” 😬 #paleontology #history #archeology

New paper on #hominid footprints, limb kinematics, and feet, out now in NatEcolEvo: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-022-01929-2
We used #XROMM and #DEM #Simulation to view and model the foot sediment interaction.
The arch in early hominid tracks likely does _not_ reflect anatomy, but does inform about kinematics

Current skull lineup. I don’t know why I do this, but I always have some sort of theme in my office. I used to have a giant collection of Boba Fett. #skulls #Hominid #3dprinting
