Always great to be able to share a perspective on newly described fossil hominins, especially when they may illuminate a critical time in our evolutionary story. www.johnhawks.net/p/fossils-fr...

Really happy to see this paper out, using field biomechanics we show that wild chimpanzees don't just randomly select plants materials for termite fishing tools – they use a little “folk physics” choosing materials with specific properties! Study in iScience www.cell.com/iscience/ful.... 1/5

Our new paper on morphological variation of the 𝐴𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑓𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠 maxilla is out now! We examine size and shape differences, explore temporal trends, and investigate sexual dimorphism and late juvenile morphology. Read it here: 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...
