hen modern humans reached Europe, they met a species that had mastered the landscape for millennia. Evidence of cultural exchange suggests AMH may have learned local survival and tool-making skills from Neanderthals. It wasn't just a replacement—it was a meeting of minds. 🧠✨ #Paleoanthro

Another much needed contribution from my former student @leviyoderraskin.bsky.social to paleoanthro! Using simulations we assess the widespread practice of inferring hominin phylogenies based on PCAs of morphological data. #paleoanthro #evolution #hominins

An illustration of an early female hominin in a static pose staring at the viewer. She is standing upright and her arms are long, going well past her knees. Her feet have chimp-like big toes but are much smaller and she has some shaggy hair on her head.

Non-specific early hominin mostly modeled after ardipithecus ramidus practice gone off the rails 🤪 Oopsie.

Ballpoint pen sketches of early hominids/chimpanzees I did while traveling. Some are drawn without using references
