MH-2 was discovered on Sept 4, 2008 at the site of Malapa. The approximately 2 million year old hominin partial skeleton has produced perhaps the most complete undistorted shoulder arm and hand of any ancient fossil human relative yet discovered. #Malapa #fossils #paleoanthropology #sediba

Ginika Ramsawak is a South African PhD student you are going to hear a lot about in the near future. She is also pivotal to the new reconstruction of the MH-1 Holotype skeleton of #Australopithecus #sediba. Her work will synthesise the study of the new fossils of the Type specimen of #sediba.

A close up of the calculus and tartar on the teeth of MH-1 from #Malapa discovered because of a CT scan showing the hollow under the 1t and 2nd molars. A paper in @nature.com by Henry et al 2012 was done on the diet of #sediba as the dental calculus had plant phytoliths that could be identified

Dr Job Kibii and me in front of the first remains of MH-1 (Holotype of Australopithecus #sediba from #Malapa ) recovered during Aug-Dec 2008 and the first months of 2009.. The block in the middle contains the unprepared skull Over Job’s left shoulder one can see the MH-2 skeleton.

The lightning struck tree near #Malapa cave, South Africa. On August 15th 2008 Matthew Berger (and our dog Tau) discovered beside it a block of breccia containing the first evidence of what would be described as a new, 2 million year old hominin species we would name #Australopithecus #sediba.

Just a beautiful, transparent, rotating image of the Holotype skull of Australopithecus sediba from the original announcement in 2010. #Exploration #hominid #sediba #southafrica

The first moment of discovery of an important fossil, or concept, is one of the greatest thrills of exploration and science. Here is the first image ever taken of the #Malapa Hominin 2 skeleton of Australopithecus #sediba. I’ll let you try and spot the bones but I will show you in the comments

This April is the 15th anniversary of the announcement of Australopithecus #sediba in @scienergetic.bsky.social . In 2010 we took the skull to the @ESRF and with those images created these wonderful movies for the “Two Million Year Old Boy” episode on @60minutes.bsky.social minutes. Enjoy!

A great global team is being assembled to prepare, record, study and analyze what will be perhaps the most complete, undistorted ancient hominin ever discovered. Watch this space! #sediba

Over the next few days I’ll be building some content for my profile 🦋
First up, the 3rd publication from my recent PhD thesis 🎓 functional adaptation to mid-carpal motion in fossil and extant hominids 🎯👌🏻 #naledi #sediba #neanderthals #floresiensis

Powerful overview, and explanation of WHY the launch of #naledi and #sediba #hominin #fossils to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere was NOT OK! #Berger #RisingStar #Paleoanthropology www.heriuct.co.za/news-content...
