New research shows even sub-Saharan Africans have traces of Neanderthal DNA! 🌍 Ancient DNA is helping scientists uncover more about our shared past, including interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals across the globe.

What’s your take on this discovery?👇 #SciTember #AncientDNA #NeanderthalDNA

Meet Kenyanthropus platyops, a 3.5-million-year-old hominin with a flat face, challenging our understanding of early human evolution. It lived around the same time as Australopithecus afarensis, but looked different. Could they be evolutionary cousins? Let’s discuss!👇 #SciTember #Paleoanthropology

🧠 Did Homo erectus make art? A shell from Java, dating back 500,000 years, shows deliberate engravings—possibly the earliest sign of symbolic behavior! 🐚

What do you think—was this art or just coincidence?👇 #SciTember #HomoErectus #AncientArt #Paleoanthropology

🪨 The Acheulean culture, known for its iconic hand axes, dates back over 1.7 million years! These tools were used by Homo erectus and other early humans, showing remarkable skill and symmetry. ⚒️

What would you make with a stone tool? 👇 #SciTember #StoneTools #Acheulean #Paleoanthropology

🗣️ Did Neanderthals have speech? Evidence from the hyoid bone & FOXP2 gene suggests they may have had the ability to communicate with complex sounds like us! 🧬

🔍 Fun Fact: Neanderthal hyoid bones look almost identical to modern humans’.

How do you think early hominins communicated? #SciTember

🦁 Did early humans have spiritual beliefs? Cave art & objects like the 40,000-year-old Lion Man suggest they did! 🗿

What do you think—early religion or just art? 🤔 Comment below!👇 #SciTember #LionMan #Paleoanthropology

🖼️ What separates Homo sapiens from other species when it comes to art? While modern humans created intricate cave paintings and sculptures, other hominins, like Neanderthals, left behind handprints, abstract engravings, and symbols. 🖐️

#SciTember Day 16 was on the no hair theorem of black holes! #scicomm

#SciTember Day 15 is on NGC 1380, a galaxy that has a black hole mass of about 150 million suns, which I measured! #scicomm #astrophysics #physics #astronomy #blackhole

#SciTember Day 14: Dive into the fascinating world of AGN and supermassive black holes! These galaxies host a powerful, compact light source—believed to be a supermassive black hole devouring matter. #scicomm #physics #astrophysics #blackholes #agn #quasars

#SciTember Day 13’s video is on the photon sphere or photon circle of a black hole, a place where you could in principle see the back of your own head!

#SciTember Day 12’s video is on the innermost stable circular orbit of a black hole! For a non-rotating black hole, it is 3 times the Schwarzschild radius! youtube.com/shorts/7uiv_...

#SciTember Day 11 is on the Schwarzschild radius of the Earth! This is how small Earth would need to be compressed to become a black hole. youtube.com/shorts/3xIND...

#SciTember Day 10 is once again on the black hole in M87! It was the first galaxy that astronomers tried to measure the supermassive black hole of back in 1977! youtube.com/shorts/0OoH2... #scicomm #blackhole #physics #astrophysics #astronomy

#SciTember Day 9 is on the M87 black hole image, taken by the Event Horizon Telescope 🔭 and revealed on April 10, 2019, which just so happened to also be my birthday! #scicomm #astrophysics #astronomy #blackholes

#SciTember Day 8 is on the man, the myth, the legend, Karl Schwarzschild, the very first person to provide an exact solution to the Einstein field equations. youtube.com/shorts/J7DPb...

I’m enjoying #SciTember on TikTok right now (started by @ tisdrj )

If you’ve ever thought about making science videos, now is a really good time bc there are a lot of creators trying to support one another on TikTok.

I still get stressed about being on camera but it’s getting easier!

#SciTember Day 7 is on explaining why astronomers care about measuring the masses of supermassive black holes in the first place! youtube.com/shorts/VLAPs... #astronomy #astrophysics #physics #blackholes

#SciTember Day 6 is on the famous black hole of NGC 4258, the first supermassive black hole to be measured by tracing the motions of water 💧 masers! #blackhole #astrophysics #physics #astronomy #galaxy #scicomm #science #sciencefacts

youtube.com/shorts/CRkeR...

Happy Day 5 of #SciTember! Today’s topic is on the elusive water 💧 masers that have been used to make some of the most precise black hole mass measurements ever! youtube.com/shorts/MS3F7... #scicomm #blackhole #physics #astronomy #astrophysics

Happy Day 4 of #SciTember ! I have enjoyed making these quite a bit and am excited to talk about gas-dynamical mass measurements of supermassive black holes in this video! youtube.com/shorts/-dkFN...

Hi all, happy #SciTember ! I decided to start posting a different #blackhole fun fact every day for this month of September on my other social media platforms, but forgot to include Blue Sky yesterday, so I’ll be posting 2 today! youtube.com/shorts/17ROf...
